Question: can dmx be used as xlr?
Answer: Yes, it is possible (but not advised) to use XLR cables for DMX connections. DMX has a higher impedance (110 ohms) than XLR (75 ohms). ... An XLR cable can transmit a DMX signal, but not very well. An XLR cable used for this is likely to cause flickering lights or experience signal loss if it even works at all.
