ben.suffolk Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I am relativley new into this area and wanted to know if anyone out there knows the pinouts for DMX and XLR cables (3 and 5pin) so I could make some adapters! I expect this is in the FAQ, but anyway, pin 1 is ground, 2 is data -ve and 3 is data +ve. Same for both 3 and 5 pin. Some odd kit (early martin and abstract) requires 2 & 3 to be swapped. This is often called a hot swap adapter if you make one up. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
