Hi all
First of all I hope everyone is doing ok with the COVID-19 scare going around. I have a quick question. What is the actual difference between DMX and XLR cables? I have a dimmer pack that can be hooked up to a music source something like this https://www.fullcompass.com/prod/54...MIgu_Qos_D6AIVwoFaBR20IAs9EAQYAyABEgLBUvD_BwE It uses a XLR cable. However I have used it with a lighting console that requires and DMX input by using an DMX to XLR 3pin to 5 pin converter. So my question is sense XLR works for this why can't it be used in theatre stage lighting? Or is it? I am not a lighting professional Technician i just do it for a nonprofit theater group and learned everything hands on.
Thanks
