Unfortunately (or rather not so unfortunately) my old NSI MC 7532 died a few days ago. I was able to convince the school principle to purchase me a new board and we managed to settle on an ETC Congo Kid (refurbished). I was really pushing to purchase an ION, although that was just outside the amount of money that he was willing to spend.
I got the board in today and went to go set it up and realized that I had made quite a large mistake. I never bothered to check about the DMX that is wired in the theater. After plugging everything else in, I went to go plug in the DMX cable and discovered that my theater is wired with a 4 pin DMX cable. The Congo Kid is a 5 pin console.
I have a decently long 5 pin DMX cable and a 3 to 5 pin converter but that still doesn't really help me. I've tried doing a Google search on 4 to 5 pin or a 4 to 3 pin converter and just daisy chain the converters (yes I know that's not really a great thing to do, but I'm getting a little desperate).
If anyone is able to steer me in the right direction of where to purchase a converter and/or where I can custom order one it would be much appreciated. Also if what I'm asking for is impossible, I'd also like to know that so I can start figuring out what to do now.
EDIT for accuracy: I need a 4 pin female to either a 3 or 5 pin male.
