XLR Connector! A three-pin connector that is used to
connect DMX512 devices. Note that the DMX512
standard calls for using 5-pin connectors. In practice,
only three pins are commonly used, and just about all
lighting device manufacturers have switched to three-pin
connectors. The foot controller used in the Solo
Performer Show Controller uses a three-pin arrangement
that is of the most common configuration and wiring.
Because this is not a true standard, be sure that your
DMX512 devices are wired per the diagram that is
printed on the foot controller next to the connector.
