Disco light on a stereo system

Ricky91t

Hello all,
Is it possible to run a disco laser light like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Green-50mW-Laser-Light-Stage-Lighting-KTV-Disco-Party_W0QQitemZ310076545325QQihZ021QQcategoryZ14984QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
on a good stereo system by running a 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack into a 6.3mm to female 3 pin xlr adapter into the male 3pin xlr input on the laser lights?
Diagram attached




Thanks all

Hi,
What exactly are you trying to achieve? If you are trying to get the light to react to the sound output of the stereo it won't work since the 3 Pin XLR jack is for DMX 512 (a lighting control signal) only.

But the listing on ebay does say it has sound to light. This generally means that it has a built in microphone and will react to bass hits, so you should be able to get the effect you want, although I will say I have never seen or used one of those ebay lasers so i can't be sure. If thats the exact same model you could ask the seller.

Thanks for the help,i helped him wire up a strobe light to it and it managed to work off the stereo system and go to the bass,I dont think hes going to get one know as the audio is lost when you wire this in
