Frequently asked questions
What is each adapter actually for?
The spigot adapter is a mechanical mounting component that lets you attach VDO Sceptron or Fatron fixtures to standard stage hardware like floorplates. The power+data adapter is a short electrical cable that carries power and DMX signals between Martin fixtures and control equipment.
Can I use both adapters together?
Yes. The spigot adapter handles physical rigging and mounting, while the power+data adapter handles electrical connections. In a typical installation, you would use the spigot to mount the fixture to a rig, then use the power+data cable to connect it to power and DMX control.
Which adapter is better for outdoor use?
The power+data adapter is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor and wet venues. The spigot adapter has no weatherproofing rating and is designed for indoor or protected rigging applications.
Do these adapters work with other Martin fixture models?
The spigot adapter is specifically compatible only with VDO Sceptron and VDO Fatron fixtures. The power+data adapter works with Martin P3 and DMX-based systems, so compatibility depends on your specific lighting infrastructure.
