Before assembling your MulDome sobox, make sure all components
are present. You will need:
• MulDome sobox
• Circle face mask
• Connector for your specic light (not included)
• Four rods
• Inner bae (medium, large, and x-large only)
• Front diuser
• Set of two Silver/Gold reversible panels for short sides
• Set of two Silver/Gold reversible panels for long sides
Assemble the Sobox to the Connector (Figures 1-9)
1. Place softbox with all four rods into their sleeves on a flat,
clean surface.
2. If closed, open all four Quick Release Corners (QRC).Pull Velcro® tab
open at each corner so that rods extend freely. (not available on Small
MulDome.)
3. Noce that the connector has nine receptacle holes, three of which are
“tapped” (except with the extra small LiteDome which comes
with a four hole Basic Connector). The small, medium, large and
extra large LiteDome only use four of the eight octoconnector rod holes.
(The remaining four holes are for use with the OctoDome®, Photoex’s
eight rod sobox.) Current model OctoConnectors use circle icons ( ) for
OctoDomes and squares icons ( ) for rectangular Softboxes.
4. Posion connector at the center of the sobox. Insert the rst rod into
one of the rod receptacle holes).
NOTE: If you are planning on using the ShoeMount hardware (AC-B222SM)
with this assembly, make sure that one of the large tapped holes is
centered between two inserted rods.
5. Insert the second rod into the hole diagonally opposite the rst hole.
6. Insert the third and fourth rods.

the sobox face down, press rmly on the connector to be sure

strobe light head in the same manner as your light head’s accessories.

lights locking mechanism is securely aached.

LiteStand. Line up the LiteStand’s riser (stud) with the stand
receptacle hole on the light head. Place the light head on the

are lined with the Velcro counterpart. The long edge will go
toward the front of the sobox.
16. The correctly installed panel will be aached on three sides.
