Audio cable tester (symtriques or not) or MIDI microprocessor.
Cheap (27 Euros in thomann.de), compact and efficient trs.
I just got it and try it.
I bought it for the case I need them, but I may well not make intensive use.
3 modes:
1. Tester Cables
One connects the two extrmits a cable made in two of the unit.
All the usual types are Submitted.
For there is an XLR jack and a mle OUT IN socket.
But for the Jacks 6.35, 3.15 mini-Jack, RCA, MIDI, etc. there are only two female headers of each IN and OUT again.
No possibility of CONTL spciaux of Cables with female connectors (rare).
A matrix of 9 LEDs indicate connections between son.
The three vertical columns represent the base and are taken PIN3/RING OUTPUT, and PIN2/TIP PIN1/SLEEVE.
The three horizontal lines represent the base INPUT and bear the same indications.
The microprocessor tests the bonds between son and lights the LEDs situated at the crossroads row / column of son in touch.
If everything is OK, the LEDs light in a diagonal line.
If there is short circuit more LEDs will light according to the son in touch.
Same principle regardless of the type of connector.
If it is a transient failure, just heckle the cable and the microprocessor keeps the memory of any contact, even a hard trs short, by turning the One of the other three LEDs.
A reset button clears the LEDs to repeat the test until it finds the location where the default occurs.
2. Test audio transmission modulation in the cable
The device sends the sound of a cable 440 or 1000 Hz (optionally with the Reset button) at +4 dBu,-10dBV or micro-50dB.
The mixer / amplifier reoit or not the modulation. 2 LEDs indicate if a voltage is 9V phantom suprieure Submitted between each son and 2 shielding.
Very practical to replace a microphone that does not work and whether is has the microphone, line, or lack of phantom power (condenser microphones, lectrets, botes Active DI).
3. Test "cable installquot;
Cables These are a fixed it is impossible to disassemble to bring the two extrmits the device.
The test is done in two phases:
1. Unplug cable test for short circuit between conductors,
2. Continuity test.
It is then necessary to bypass all the terminals of a cable extrmit. It is advisable to use a sheet which has been short-circuited all son.
The device then measures the continuity view from the other end.
Conclusion:
1. Efficient machine To solve all the problem of cable and why a microphone does not work.
It may therefore be of great service.
2. For the price, was not worth the trouble to do without.
3. Useful:
I do not know if I will use often with Russi without it until now.
That's why I put it a 9 instead of a 10
Edition of April 22, 2006:
I have several vrifier XLR Cables Whereas as impaired for several CRER Cables and Multicore change my sheets to put Jack returns in place of the XLR as original the majority of consoles out in Jacks.
And of course I used my brand new tester To verify the work Run.
Well cap is very practical!
Before a, I vrifiais with multimtre successively trying all possible combinations.
The tester has done all instantannment.
In Checker Cables impaired its function mmorisation of bad contacts or short circuits trs short is extremely convenient as a Controller you never know if we don ' ct is not pass a default transition.
Cables and my "questionable" are IMMEDIATE become "good" without hsitation.
As I ride my consquence note 10 without regret.
