Kam Powerbar Foot Controller connection type?

[Shaun]

Question for the Powerbar users. Can anyone tell what type of connection the foot controller uses to connect to the bar. It's a 5 pin connection.

I have a gig coming up where the PowerBar is going to be setup quite a bit away from me so I need to purchase a cable with the right connection so I can extend the reach of my foot controller.

Thank you kindly!

Do you have a photo of the connector? It could be a locking din plug?

Its a 5 pin locking din plug as mentioned Shaun,

Maybe CPC sell the plugs and then just a case of cable and soldering.

Cheers guys.

I've had a look online. I see 5 pin Din audio or midi cables. I'm guessing either would do the trick?

Its NOT a din plug!
Its a 5 pin communications connector originally designed for
cb and taxi radios.....you "might" find an extension cable...

And then again, you might not. Dave is bang on with his view. I've seen that connector on a lot of kit, but never Disco gear.

It looks exactly the same as the connector from light to bar on the astoundingly cheap and ugly, yet astoundingly reliable Thomann equivalent. ( If you can find the right thread, Alchemy and I were searching for these for him )

Sorry to rub salt into the wound Shaun, but the equivalent connector on the Thomann is a 1/4" jack. If you could get the blighter to run the functions you want, a long DMX cable would have achieved the desired result, but I know the KAM doesn't DMX easily.

Sorry I'm basically naff all help mate.

I've got that very connector from my starcloth to the controller

Then I stand corrected.

Shaun,here's the thread, post #20 onwards should help.
