Martin Companion Firmware Upload Cable

The Martin Companion Cable is a compact, matte black interface designed for straightforward fixture-to-computer communication. Its small 68 mm length and lightweight 3.5 oz form factor make it unobtrusive on a tech bench, while the robust USB-to-DMX construction ensures reliable firmware uploads across your entire Martin lighting rig without any additional power requirements.

Connectivity & Interface Design

This cable features a USB 2.0 Type-C interface with an included adapter to USB Type-A, paired with a 5-pin locking XLR connector for secure DMX and RDM data transmission. The dual-connection approach bridges your computer directly to Martin fixtures, enabling real-time firmware synchronization with the Martin Companion application.

Compatibility & Integration

The Martin Companion Cable works seamlessly across all Martin lighting fixture series—MAC, ERA, ELP, RUSH, and Exterior—making it a universal solution for multi-brand installations. When paired with the Companion software's automatic firmware library synchronization, you gain one-cable access to update your entire inventory without hunting for individual fixture firmware files.
