Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter: 5-Port RDM DMX Splitter and Signal Booster for Professional Lighting
The Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter is a compact 5-port optically isolated DMX splitter and signal booster designed for professional lighting systems where long cable runs, multiple DMX universes, or signal degradation from bad connections threaten data integrity. At its core it does one essential job: it takes a weak or compromised DMX signal and restores it to full strength before distributing it across five isolated outputs, which is the difference between a stable show and a night spent troubleshooting flickering fixtures.
Signal Boosting and RDM Support
The splitter amplifies the incoming DMX signal back to its original output level before distribution, preventing the signal degradation that accumulates over long runs or through multiple connection points. Full RDM E1.20 compliance supports bidirectional communication for fixture discovery and remote addressing, and the unit is optimized specifically for Martin fixture firmware upload, making it a natural fit for rigs running Martin equipment.
Flexible Mounting and Universal Power
At 2 lbs. in a compact 8.7 x 1.8 x 5-inch enclosure, the RDM 5.5 mounts equally well in a rack, on truss, or on a wall via included mounting options. Neutrik PowerCon input and throughput support daisy-chained power across multiple units, and the universal auto-ranging 100-240V power supply handles both domestic and international applications at just 4W consumption. A DMX loop through port with built-in termination and 5-pin XLR input and outputs round out the connection options.
