[QUOTE="David Strausberger, post: 120851, member: 7078"] Re: Club install dance floor movers + addition - DMX problem Xlr and dmx are shielded differently as well as xlr is 80 ohm and dmx is 120 ohm. First use good quality dmx on all your instruments. That will normally fix 90% of all problems. Second check that all dmx addresses on all lights are correct. An incorrect address on an instrument or an instrument that is in another mode can throw many other instruments in the line into unstable behavior. If that mic cable you have running through the ceiling is by any power lines in the ceiling that could also be your problem. Mic cable isnt properly shielded for the data packets sent across the cabling and power lines could be causing interference if the mic cable is crossing them. So again don't use mic cable.
