SERIES CONNECTION OF SEVERAL SPOTLIGHTS
1. Connect the male XLR connector (3-pin or 5-pin) of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female
XLR socket) of the first DMX device (e.g. a DMX controller).
2. Connect the female XLR connector of the DMX cable connected to the first spotlight to the DMX
input (male XLR socket) of the next DMX device. Connect the DMX output of this device to the
DMX input of the next device in the same way and so on. Please note that serial DMX devices
can be interconnected in principle and the connections cannot be shared without an active
splitter. The maximum number of DMX devices in a DMX chain must not exceed 32.
An extensive selection of suitable DMX cables can be found in the Adam Hall product lines 3
STAR, 4 STAR and 5 STAR.
DMX CABLE:
When preparing your own leads, it is essential to follow the diagrams on this page. Do not connect
the shielding of the cable to the ground pin of the connector, and make sure that the shield does
not come into contact with the XLR connector housing. If the shield has contact to ground it may
lead to system errors.

DMX TERMINATOR:
To avoid system failures, the last device in a DMX chain must be equipped with a terminating
resistor (120 ohms, 1/4 watt).
3-pin XLR with terminating resistor: K3DMXT3
