5.3 DMX Control

The LM-003 supports 32-channel DMX control for precise adjustments in movement, rotation, zoom, and speed. This feature is ideal for professional lighting setups.

1. Connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX-IN port on the LM-003.
2. If daisy-chaining multiple DMX devices, connect from the LM-003's DMX-OUT to the next device's DMX-IN.
3. Refer to your DMX controller's manual for specific programming instructions. The LM-003's DMX channel assignments can typically be found in the device's internal menu or a separate DMX chart (not provided in this general manual).

5.4 Sound-Activated Mode

In sound-activated mode, the laser patterns, colors, and beam effects synchronize with the rhythm of your music. This mode is most effective in environments with high decibel levels.

• Press one of the 'SOUND' buttons (SOUND 1-4) on the remote control to activate this mode.
• The projector will respond to ambient sound, creating dynamic visual effects.

5.5 Zoom In & Out Function

The 'SIZE +/-' buttons on the remote control allow you to instantly expand or shrink your laser patterns without repositioning the projector. This helps to perfectly fill any space.

5.6 Tips for Best Results

For an enhanced visual experience, especially to amplify the visibility and intensity of the laser beams, use the projector in a smoky environment. Smoke or haze machines can make the laser beams appear more defined and volumetric.
