DMX Operation Connecting the Timpani to a DMX Controller Important! To connect the Timpani to a DMX controller, use a 5-pin DMX data cable. Do not use an XLR microphone cable. It will not transfer data to the Timpani. To avoid interference that can be introduced into the data over long cable runs, use a cable rated at 24 AWG or lower. Copper shielding, PVC jacket, and a twisted-pair cable will also reduce interference that can affect data transmission reliability. 1.
