## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have a tone generator like the Behringer CT 100?**
A: No tone generator

**Q: can this be used to check to see if a cable is balanced or unbalanced?**
A: Most microphone (XLR) cables are balanced and you can test for that with this cable tester.  When you plug both ends of a properly wired, balanced mic cable into the tester, you should see three pairs of lights come on as you move the knob from position 1 to 2 and to 3.  Unfortunately, it is not that easy for 1/4" instrument cables.  Some have two conductors (tip & sleeve) and some have three (ring, tip, & sleeve).  The three conductor 1/4" cables are usually balanced, but with this tester it is not easy to verify that because it uses the same jacks for testing all 1/4" cables.  The best way to tell how a ring, tip, sleeve 1/4" cable is wired is to simply unscrew the strain relief on each end and look at the wiring.  If you're not sure what to look for, you can search for a YouTube video that explains it.

**Q: Will this check 4 and 5 pin xlr male/female for com systems specifically clear com?**
A: This will test 3-pin XLR, but not 4- or 5-pin.

**Q: In which country is this unit made.**
A: This unit is manufactured in China.
