Lighting Equipment

This is the equipment we have for lighting the dance floor.

It is all DMX controlled.

DMX Controllers

  • ADJ DJ WMX1 Controller - a powerful, compact standalone DMX controller that is used to control lights in the dance area
  • ADJ Airstream Bridge (plus iPad to control it) - An older device that works reasonably well as a simple, backup DMX controller

DMX controlled lights

Power cables

Note there are two kinds. Neutrik PowerCon is the old kind("blue and grey"), shown here on the left -- it is not designed to be unplugged under load. Neutrik True1 is the new kind which can be unplugged under load and is therefore safer.

DMX cables

DMX cables come in 5-pin and 3-pin variations. Note that ten of our PAR lights use 5-pin and everything else is 3-pin.

Did you know - DMX cables, used for lighting control, look the same as XLR cables, used for speakers, but they have a different impedance, so don't mix them up.

The last "output" in a chain of DMX cables must have a terminator on it.
