Mackie Cable Tester MTest-1

Xlr speckon wiring testing achi h sb badiya kaam krta hai

Really well built. Allows one to test all sorts of audio cables including different connectors on different ends. I tested even a DB-25 Amphenol connector wiring using the Banana Connectors. Does a great job. Simple to use. Sound is only with Banana connectors though, however the LEDs show all the connections clearly. Tested a few of my cables and really came to use when testing some personally-soldered XLR and TRS cables and correcting the errors. Must buy for any studio, when ruling out audio problems in the chain.

Good Product

Could only test the XLR connections, and it works well. The unit is heavy, and seems well-built with painted thick steel shell (not aluminium). It uses a 9V battery.I am pretty sure this is a generic cable tester that Mackie has rebranded. The body, size, the location of sockets, knobs, LEDs is EXACTLY the same as you find all over the web on no-name or generic brands. So I know that I paid approximately 20-25% more, and I'm okay with it, with a conscious choice-supportive bias. (smiles)Its actually a pretty simple unit, with very simple components, just plain wires, some LEDs, a stopping knob, various types of sockets, a 9V battery holder, a simple PCB. It just closes circuits and it glows the LEDs. I actually managed to open the unit with 4 Philips screws and that's how I know it (don't care about the warranty of this one). You could make one yourself, but the cost of small quantity components would probably be not worth it.The components in the Mackie unit did not seem to be extraordinary, or even branded, except the speakon socket which is marked "LEQUN", which is not a brand I recognize anyway.If you find anything cheaper, there's no need to spend high on this one, they're all the same. Overall a useful purchase if you're into audio.

Good Cable tester and good price

Good but not very good
