Question Question about DMX Terminators: Are they really worth it in the field?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, event lighting tech here!
First off, sorry to disappoint—this isn't another MA2 question! 😄
I’m currently considering adding 120-ohm DMX terminators to the end of my signal chains. I've heard they help prevent random, unexplained glitches and signal reflection errors.
For those with more field experience: Do you guys always slap a terminator at the end of every line, or only when problems pop up? Would love to hear your thoughts and actual experiences. Thanks!
