    Quality DMX Cable? (and Pin Connectors)

    So I am buying DMX cable and I will be running about 25 to 30 lights at weddings. All my lights are 3 pin XLR. I saw this DMX cable and wondered if this is pretty good. I just want to make sure I dont get any interferance as you can imagine how bad it would be if the lights started flashing...

    Which XLR Cables should I buy

    So what you are saying is if the light is 3 pin xlr than it is not a good light to use for long distances and I should be getting one with 5 pin? This is not good as I have bought about 25 lights that were 500.00 each and they are 3 pin...

    Which XLR Cables should I buy

    OK, so I am going to buy a spool of DMX cable and soldier it onto my 3 pin xlr ends that I have purchased. As far as the 2 extra wires, I will just leave those off. I than feel that it is best to split my room into two, so it looks like I will also need a dmx splitter. Thanks so much for all...

    2 Wire DMX Cable?

    I am using 11 Wall Washers in my show and I ordered DMX cable with them. The cable only contains 2 wires, a solid blue and white with blue dots. How do I tell which one is the positive and which one is the negative. Also, I thought when running dmx/XLR, you use 3 wires...ThanksSloanhaus
