DMX Connection terminal device (Loop connection)
During the installation process, if the signal line is laid a long distance, or in a noisy environment, such as a dance hall, it is recommended
to use a DMX terminal (loop connection). This can reduce any interference to the digital control signal by electrical noise.
The DMX terminator consists of a simple XLR connector with pin 2 and 3 connected to a 120 Ω resistor. Please insert the terminal into the
XLR output port of the last device. Refer to the following picture:
