[. . . ] ART cessories March 2003 TM Creative audio solutions in cool little boxes. CableCOP Cable Tester There are several types of cables used widely in pro audio ­ mic cables and patch cords with 2 or 3 conductors, instrument cables with 2 conductors, basic speaker cables with 2 conductors and MIDI cables comprised of DIN5 connectors using 2 conductors. The CableCOP features a full selection of standard pro audio connectors for testing all such cables. [. . . ] If no LEDs illuminate, either the cable is totally non-functional or the battery is dead. If only the left LED illuminates and it's a 2-conductor cable, the cable has an open tip connection in one or both of the plugs. If it is a 3conductor cable, the tip and ring on a 1/4" TRS plug, pins 2 and 3 on an XLR, pin number 5 on a DIN5 connector, it needs soldering. If only the middle LED illuminates and it's a 2-conductor cable, one or both ground connections need soldering on 1/4" or RCA plugs. If it is a 3-conductor cable, the ground and ring on a TRS, or pins 1 and 3 on an XLR may need soldering. If only the right LED illuminates and it is a 3-conductor cable (this LED should never illuminate with a 2-conductor cable), the tip and sleeve of a 1/4" TRS, or pins 1 & 2 on an XLR, or pin 4 on a DIN5 plug needs soldering. If both the left and center LEDs illuminate and it's a 2-conductor cable, it's OK. If it's a 3-conductor cable, you have two leads wired out-of-phase. They would be tip and ring in a 1/4" TRS plug, or pin 2 and 3 in an XLR. If all 3 LEDs illuminate with a 3-conductor cable, it's OK. Specifications: · The CableCOP helps to test all basic types of cables quickly and easily, even with a combination of different ends.
