Design Spot 575E™ 

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the 

correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the 

channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent 

out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by 

setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the head of the fixture. 

 

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different 

address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX 

address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing 

the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously. 

 

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the 

channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of 

each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected 

fixture. 

 

In the case of the Design Spot 575E™, which is a 24 channel fixture, you should set the 

starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49 

(24 + 25), and so on. 

 

Note: During start-up the Design Spot 575E™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data 

signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show 

"A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX
