Hosa DMT414 DMX Terminator XLR 3-Pin (M)

The Hosa DMT414 is a passive DMX terminator engineered to safely close out 3-pin XLR daisy chains in lighting and effects rigs. Termination is critical in DMX-512 networks–without it, signal reflections corrupt data across your entire chain. Hosa's design incorporates a 120-ohm resistor matched to DMX spec, ensuring reliable performance in both fixed installations and touring setups where cable runs are long or complex.

At the signal level, the DMT414 presents correct impedance termination to prevent ghosting and data corruption downstream. The male 3-pin XLR connector mates directly into the final device in your DMX chain–typically a lighting console output or the last fixture in a run. Construction is straightforward and robust, prioritising electrical integrity over complexity. This terminator is essential when daisy-chaining DMX-controlled moving heads, strobes, or other intelligent lighting in club environments or live DJ setups where real-time synchronisation between visual effects and music cannot fail.
