MX-1 user manual Operation 17
The single-channel controllable functions are shown below.
STAND-ALONE OPERATION
The MX-1 automatically begins to operate in stand-alone mode with music
trigger - regardless of the DIP-switch settings - if there is no control signal.
The operation of single and “slave” units can be modified using the special DIP-
switch settings as described under “Special settings” on page 13.
MASTER / SLAVE OPERATION
Multiple MX-1s can be connected together for synchronized “master/slave”
operation in which the slaves mimic the behavior of the master.
In order to operate in this mode, the MX-1s must be connected together. One
fixture must be selected to be the master (DIP-switch 2 ON) and the others must
be set as slaves (DIP-switch 2 OFF).
Important! Only 1 fixture can be the master: errors and damage can occur
if there is more than 1 control signal on the data link.
To connect units for master / slave operation
1 Connect the output of one MX-1 to the input of the next MX-1.
2 Connect additional MX-1s output to input. Up to 32 may be connected.
3 Terminate the link on both ends by inserting a female termination plug into
the data input of the first fixture and a male termination plug into the data
output of the last fixture. A termination plug is simply an XLR connector with
a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3.
