Behringer Cable Tester CT100

2 months of use. before, I use a standard tester.
I have a bad habit of always seeking the cheapest and I buy very to weld but buying the cheapest I made a mistake, a TRS is removed within the CT100 and the tip is stay inside, I seek to recover but to no avail, can not remove the jack socket without damaged circuit boards. Very bad operation that led me to buy 60 bases TRS good quality and brand new cast CT100 for palmer.
this is an excellent time tester and cheap, it is complete and unlike other consoles and mix, this is where the Behringer brand is very strong.
Palmer is two times more expensive, but the jack easily slide in, without clinging.
So, no, I will not repeat the same choice for either the bases or to the tester also I have to replace a Palmer XL Cable Tester (MCTXL)

I only mention the flaws (minor) observed:
Battery access impractical, the Phillips screw is under the belt bracket and therefore difficult to reach without bending it.
Inadvertently turning on the camera in a bag.
Otherwise, no complaints.

I bought this quad cable tester I started lugging my regular pedalboard v1, not very secure with patches and not necessarily reliable. And again, have a connection problem, it takes away a lot of time. This little tool allows me to regularly check the status of my jack and XLR cables. I use it mainly in prevention, and in this role is perfect. However, for the assembly / welding, I prefer my multimeter because the CT100 does not have tweezers, so, impossible to test whether the cable itself or the jack alone. That said, the two are very complementary because the function continuity test on the CT is really useful and non-existent with a multimeter (by the way, should not deprive themselves of it either, it costs nothing ...).

I do not use all the functions of the beast, but it could happen. Amateur, I could not see myself putting a large sum in a tool like this. And when I see the number of rooms / studios have one in the closet where u, ue I think I was very inspired. The tweezers would have made a perfect tool, but the value price of a duo CT100 + multimeter to 10 euros, no risk that I change.

Note that the beast is very small, well built, solid, with a small clip to put on a belt. It requires very little battery; Besides the lack of tongs and the fact that he tends to turn himself into a backpack because the selector which changes position with a relatively low pressure, nothing to fault. Two small faults, I should put an 8, I go to 9 because the price is unbeatable.

I came across one that "bote test" Behringer. This is a utensil that is often sold by much competition and that is often not much!

Especially in the case of CT100, the opposite is true. First, it allows testing of various connectors Cables quips. Cables can be tested in the XLR3, 6.35 Jack, Jack 3.5, Bantam, RCA, Din noon.



You will be able to use sockets in any combination, for example jack to XLR, XLR to bantam ... etc ...

LED indicators will show you the correct state of the connection, the cblage taken during the test. But the fact trs o Behringer box, install it by having a small microprocessor that will tell you, among other false and possibly contact their state MMore telling you about how the connectors break occurred. In order to reproduce 'failure', you press the reset button to restore the Afon Systm in his state-detection. You "re-tickle" your grip and the system shows you new o is the default.

So, Behringer arrter did not in so good way. The CT100 gnrateur incorporates a signal, so you'll be able gnrer of 1000 Hz and 440 Hz In addition, it gives you a choice of level between - 50 Mic - 10 dBV, +4 dBu.



And it's not over! With all this, you will be able to test such a connection to your console stagebox Manir complte!

Example: You set up a slice of console in the micro level, you send the Phantom. At the other end of the pair branch you configure your CT100 "Test Tone - 50 Mic." The Casing will tell you the prsence of 48 volts and send a 1000 Hz or 400 Hz to the console! So you can be sure that your pair will work with a condenser microphone.

A BMOL is of the same wear when the quality of gnrateur signal. This much, those who know the quality of gn mdiocre some internal Studer 928 .... Here the product is only a few dollars.

The unit is powered by two LR06 1.5 volt type. Finally, like any product Behringer the price is very reasonable since it is around 55 euros while competition often Exceeds 100 euros!
