DMX connections:
A three-pin XLR socket serves as a DMX output, a three-pin XLR plug serves as a DMX input.
For systems with very long DMX cable runs or high levels of electrical interference, such as in a nightclub, it is
recommended to use a DMX terminator. The DMX terminating resistor is implemented in an XLR plug as a 120 Ω
resistor between pin 2 and 3, which is plugged into the last output socket of the DMX line.
