FAQs

Does this adapter work with non-Amaran lights?

No, it is specifically designed for the Amaran USB-C enabled ecosystem and may not be compatible with other brands.

Can I use 3-pin XLR cables with this adapter?

You would need a 3-pin to 5-pin DMX adapter, as the device features standard 5-pin connectors.

Does the adapter come with a warranty?

Aputure products typically include a standard manufacturer's warranty; check your specific regional documentation for details.

Is it possible to power the light without the DMX cable attached?

The primary function is to bridge DMX; powering performance is dependent on the connected power source linked through the DMX/Power chain.

Why is the right-angle connector better?

The right-angle design keeps the cable profile flush against the light, reducing the risk of the connector getting snagged or damaged during movement.

Troubleshooting

Light not responding to DMX signals

Ensure the light is set to DMX mode in the menu and verify that the DMX channel matches your console settings.

Intermittent signal drops

Check that all 5-pin XLR connections are fully seated and inspect the cable for physical damage or wear.

Light is not charging while connected

Confirm that the USB-C connector is fully inserted into the fixture's data/power port and verify your power source is active.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Simultaneous power delivery and DMX data transmission
Compact right-angle design saves space on camera rigs
Uses industry-standard 5-pin XLR connectors
Ensures stable communication between console and lights

Cons

Not compatible with non-USB-C Aputure or Amaran lights
Specific to the Aputure/Amaran DMX protocol ecosystem
Requires proper DMX cable length for signal integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the adapter, insert the right-angle USB-C connector firmly into the data port of your compatible Amaran fixture. Use a standard 5-pin DMX cable to connect your controller to the XLR port on the adapter. If daisy-chaining, connect the 5-pin female end of the next light's cable to the male port of the current adapter.

Compatibility: This device is specifically engineered for the Amaran MT Pro and INFINIBAR series. Ensure your console is configured for the correct DMX profile.

Care: Always coil cables using the over-under method to prevent internal wire breakage. Keep the USB-C connector free of dust and debris, and avoid bending the cable at a sharp angle near the connector head during storage.
