Disappointing Product

For XLR cables, this product does not test if the cable has been wired properly. It tests cross wire shorts but not if the cable is improperly wired. Very disappointed!

Good tool for finding that bad wire in the bunch. Saves a bit of time when trouble shooting.

question

Some speaker cables have a banana plug on one end and a TS connector on the other. Are the banana connections on this tester able to accept this type of connector so you can test this type of speaker cable?

Asked by: Stephen

The banana plug inputs on the unit are specifically made to connect the included probes, which can then be used to test continuity with any type of cable connector.

Can you test a cable with different connectors in the same cable for example: XLR to 1/8, XLR to 1/4?

Asked by: neftali

Yes. The Mackie MTest-1 detects which inputs you are using and matches the pins to be able to test cables with different connectors on each end.
