RDMX Splitter 8 FAQ’s
The RDMX Splitter 8 is highly flexible because it can operate in two different modes with the simple press of a button. You can use it to send one lighting control signal to eight different outputs, or instantly switch it to manage two separate incoming signals, sending each to four outputs.
It protects your entire lighting setup by electrically isolating every output. This means that if one connected light experiences a signal or electrical problem, it won’t affect any of the other lights in your system, ensuring your show continues to run smoothly.
It simplifies setup with a power linking feature, allowing you to connect its power cord directly to an adjacent fixture or another splitter. This reduces the need for multiple long extension cords and extra power outlets, making for a much cleaner and faster installation.
