Brand new.  Made in U.S.A.

    On lighting equipment Female XLR connectors are the output and Male XLR connectors are for the inputs. The last device connected must be terminated with the switch on the device or with a terminating plug.  Some lighting devices such as some early RoboScans and Smartec Intelligent lighting have pins 2 and 3 with reversed polarity.  DMX 512 is the communication protocol used for lighting control devices.  The standard specifies the use of 5 pin connectors.  Some manufactures selling to DJ's and night clubs
use 3 pin connectors and microphone cable to keep cost down. 
This adapter is made with Neutrik connectors and a colored label ring. It is labeled DMX 3M-5F adapter. The adapter is constructed to meet DMX512 requirements. This adapter conforms to the wiring configuration set forth by American DJ and others for connecting their 3 pin DMX devices to 5 pin devices. 

This is also available in a reversed version. We have more adapters and terminators.  If the type you need it is not shown please contact us.  We may have them available in different configurations. 

The Martin control system is similar to DMX 512.  It uses the same signal format that DMX512 is based on which is RS485.  The difference is that on early Martin products did not support DMX 512 but later versions supported both and some new models only use DMX512.  On some of those dual models a polarity reverser was needed to connect from a DMX 512 controller because Martin control protocol had the pins wired opposite.
