Step 6 DMX Connector Assembly

The optional Panel Mount XLRs kit, comes with one female and one male panel mount XLRs, 12" triple strand wire, and screws for mounting the XLRs.

Wire Up the XLRs: The XLR's pins are labeled in the plastic on the front.

• Measure out how much wire you will need, try to use as little as possible to reduce interference.
• Connect the XLR pin 1 on the male to the female.
• Connect the XLR pin 2 on the male to the female.
• Connect the XLR pin 3 on the male to the female.
• Run 3 wires from pins 1 - 3 on either the male or the female
• If using the option headers and housings, fasten crimps the ends of the 3 wires and place in the housing.
• Otherwise solder the wires directly onto the PCB as shown in the diagram.

Even though the wires are short, it'd cautious to use a shielded two or three conductor cable rather than a flat ribbon cable for wiring the XLR connectors.
