BehringerCT100 6-in-1 Cable Tester

The CT100 works!I was considering the CT200, with the digital read-out. I bought the CT100 instead, thinking that I probably will use it once or twice in my life, so why spend more money on the CT200. However, I'm glad I chose the CT100, and actuallyhad occasion to use it the day after I received it. The advantage (yes advantage) of the CT100 is: if you learn how to interpret the LED display (which ia an EASY skill, and there are tutorials on web about this anyway)... the LEDS tell you exactly what the fault is , with each wire. Which pins are shorted to each other or open. It was especially helpfulin my case because there was a fault 12" away from the 1/4 inch audio plug. It's a bit cheaper than the CT200, but instantly tells you the status of each pin/wire in the cable. I do not regret purchasing it at all. It's a keeper, and satisfies all the cable types I purchased it for. It is built strong, steel housing. Takes 2 AA batteries. inexpensive and highly functional. If it breaks or gets lost a at a gig, I will replace it with another CT100.

I should have bought this many years ago. I play live and the cables need to work. I discovered the MIDI cables on my pedalboard had no ground and both were not old.

Small, easy to carry around and perfect for my husband.

My battery compartment plate/cover would not come out, I spent about 40 minutes wedging that thing out, must’ve been either shoved in there really hard or the piece was manufactured too large.Other than that great for what it does!Only way it could get better is if it also tested DC cables (pedal power cables).

This cable tester does far more than just test cables. It does that well with LED indicators for every conductor inside every wire you ever saw, and then some! Belt clip for you live sound engineer types lets you do it on the spot, at the gig, right NOW! Solves the problem QUICK! And you're the hero now!This tester goes beyond what you expect. It can test a speaker cable or mic cable from only ONE END. Incredible! Just what you need at the gig, when that mic is dead or that speaker won't work. You know it's the cable, but...PIA to untangle that cable now!Not any more. Just unplug that cable from the mic or that monitor speaker and BAM! One-ended, real time, accurate cable test! In seconds, on the spot!Behringer hit a home run with this invaluable little box.Instruction manual could be a little better on the explanations and usage, but it ain't rocket science. You'll figure it out.Test tone generator too! Wow!
