tom_the_LD Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi guys, Anyone know where I can get a manual for the Showtec multi-exchanger? http://www.highlite.nl/index.php/highlite/...multi_exchanger According to the downloads secions of their site, the manuals are on the product pages but that one doesn't appear to have one! Cheers Tom EDIT seem to have found one: http://www.showfotos.nl/manuals/SHOWTEC%20...Exchanger-E.pdf However I still have a question. According to the order codes there is a 3 pin and 5 pin version. Why does the picture show one with both on? Photoshopped so people can see both versions or will it just ship with both but only one will be connected up?

PaulDF Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The 50348 has both 3 and 5 pin DMX onboard, as far as I know they are both connected, I have only ever used the 5 pin socket on mine.Pretty sure one of the lads I know has one and uses the 3 pin DMX.

sleah Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have the Botex(?) baged one from Thomann and they do indeed have both 3 and 5 pin DMX connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0astman Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have had 2 of these for the last year and used both the 3 or 5 pin without a problem. If you need to in/out the DMX signal, I'd be inclined not to swap between 3 & 5 pin, but don't have any concreate reason behind that view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDF Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 One of my mates uses his to change from 5 pin to 3 pin without a problem, think the 3 and 5 pin are just are wired in parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDF Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I know it is a bit of an old post now, for future reference with the showtec demux both the 3 and the 5 pin XLRs are connected, I have been using mine to patch in a 3 pin today without any problems.
