Frequently asked questions
Can I use these products together?
Yes. The diffuser modifies light output from Martin LED fixtures, while the cable connects those fixtures together and supplies power. Many professional rigs use both.
What fixtures is each product designed for?
The VDO Sceptron diffuser mounts to Martin VDO Sceptron LED fixtures via quick-clip attachment. The DC + Ethernet Cable is an OEM accessory for Martin's professional LED fixture ecosystem and uses DCE connectors for daisy-chaining.
Which is better for touring?
Both are touring-rated. The cable is specifically engineered for mobile touring with durable construction for repeated connection cycles. The diffuser's high-impact polycarbonate also withstands location work without degradation.
Do I need the cable to use the diffuser?
No. The diffuser is a passive light-shaping accessory that simply clips onto a fixture. You only need the cable if you are daisy-chaining multiple fixtures together for integrated power and control.
