Frequently asked questions
What is the actual difference between these two adapters?
The spigot adapter is a mechanical mounting component that lets VDO fixtures connect to standard stage rigging hardware like floorplates. The power adapter is an electrical cable that transmits power and DMX data between Martin control systems and fixtures.
Can I use both adapters together on the same fixture?
Yes. The spigot adapter handles mechanical mounting, while the power adapter handles electrical connections. Both may be needed in a complete rigging setup.
Which adapter is better for outdoor events?
The Power+data Adapter BBD-M16 is rated IP65 for outdoor use and protects against moisture and dust. The spigot adapter is a mechanical connector without weather sealing, so it's better suited for controlled indoor environments or as part of a larger protected rigging system.
Do these adapters work with non-Martin fixtures?
The spigot adapter only works with Martin VDO Sceptron and VDO Fatron fixtures. The power adapter is designed for Martin P3 and DMX systems, though the M16 connector type may appear on other professional equipment.
