  I have an issue with the speakon 2 pole test showing a short when I know the cable is wired correctly! Cable is Speakon to TS and I use a TS speakon adapter. Still top to top and sleeve to sleeve so should test correctly?

  Thanks for that , you illustrated the sound expected where nobody has yet. I suspect my mids are low on db 's , can you use V rms to check with a sig gen? I get distortion from high pitch vocals which is reduced it l adjust the crossover mids. Can I just put a cap in series to the tweeter or woofer ?

  So we have to use adapters in order to test a mono guitar lead which is why I bought this unit...what a wonky machine...omg...pfffft

• 
  @tokendave8630Ай бұрын

  I wouldn't exactly call it wonky, it's simply the fact that the ring and sleeve on a TRS connector are 'joined' on a TS connector. It passes on the RCA cable test because, like the guitar lead, RCA's only have two connections as well. The cable tester is in fact displaying the correct 'error' when putting a TS cable into its TRS jack because the ring and sleeve a 'shorted'. Otherwise you'd need a cable tester with separate TS and TRS 1/4" connections which most do not have.

  @skabooshАй бұрын

  @@tokendave8630 Thank you. I think it's very disappointing, a typical performing musician like myself is chiefly concerned with mono cables and we don't want any other connections involved that can complicate the issue. I've certainly had phono to jack adapters in the past that have gone wonky. We want to plug the cable directly to the tester.

  The test looks very thorough but I'll ask anyway. Will this detect a cable that is in the process of failing? Like when you're on stage and you're hearing cracks and pops? Btw, i know next to nothing about electricity. Thanks

  @avcsstechworld2 ай бұрын

  The best way to see if there are any issues with the mic cable is to plug a microphone into the cable and then plug it into a mixer channel. Then, while speaking into the mic (best to have someone speak into the mic if you can) grab the cable with your hands (starting at the XLR connector) and start twisting and bending the cable all the way to the other end listening for any cracks and pops. If you hear a crack or pop at a certain spot, there is most likely a break or the start of a break in the mic cable. Also open up the connector to see if any connections are broke or starting to break.

  Thank you for the video. I've got an XLR input with lower signal than the other XLR inputs on a small format analog mixer. What test could be done to determine why the level is so low? Can this be used to check if there is a cold solder or a damaged pin?

• 
  @avcsstechworld2 ай бұрын

  Without having the mixer in front of me, I would suggest the following: First, I will assume that you are using the same cable and mic to check all these channels, Is the signal just lower on a mic or line input (not sure if your mixer uses the XLR for both mic and line), and Second, is there a Mic / Line switch on this channel? If yes, I would clean the switch with contact cleaner (I've had issues like this before that some contact cleaner took care of), clean the fader, gain control, and any other buttons / switches for that channel as well. Third, open up the mixer and check the XLR connector and for cold solder joints. After that, it will most likely be in the circuitry (Op amp, capacitor, etc). Hope this helps.

• 
  @aurasystems2 ай бұрын

  Wow, thank you for the response. I am using the same mic and cable for testing all channels. All channels have XLR mic inputs and 1/2” Bal / Unbal inputs. For the moment, I was only concerned with the mic inputs, using a mic at mic level. I’ll clean all of the connections. I’ve got some deoxit cleaner and conditioner, as well as compressed air and 99% isopropyl alcohol. The part I’d like to do, is to check for cold solder joints. That’s thr part I don’t know how to do. Thank you again

• 
  @avcsstechworld2 ай бұрын

  Use caution when disassembling the mixer, remove power, but most of all keep track of how you remove the parts and pieces. Checking for cold solder joints is easy, but takes a keen eye. I just try to move the XLR to see if it is loose in any way, look at the solder joints on the circuit board, and go ahead an re-solder the XLR leads while you have the mixer apart. Again, if you are not familiar with opening up equipment use caution and take your time. As a side note, you also void any warranty when opening up the mixer and if you have to take it to a repair shop they will either not work on it or charge extra if they feel it was opened. Hopefully you'll find a cold solder joint and get it fixed.

  Another Tech Note for Phantom Power 7:15 ... plugging in a line level source, such as a cell phone or media player, to a Phantom Power-activated input can (and likely will) damage that source device, especially the audio-out circuitry on that device. Ensure you are plugging these devices into a designated Line input or, at least, a channel that is NOT passing Phantom Power in order to reduce chances of damaging your device.

  Yes, the majority of Adapters are AC to DC, and are replacing many of the AC to AC adapters as technology requires.

  When I use test tones from my av receiver, the sub cones move. Does this mean they are ok, or do I still need to do this test?

• 
  @avcsstechworld5 ай бұрын

  Your Subs are ok if they are not making any kind of grinding, scraping, flapping type of noise (if they basically sound good and are doing what they are supposed to be doing). You would only need to test with the 9V if they are not functioning (don't sound normal). Hope this helps.

• 
  @arielstereo54845 ай бұрын

  @avcsstechworld Thank you. I had the sub amp tested by the manufacturer, and it's 100% good. They told me to test the woofers like you just did, but after I placed everything back in place is when I was told. The reason I had the amp tested was because it sounds less loud than the other identical sub. That's why I was wondering if it moves with test tones, do I still need to do the battery test?

• 
  @avcsstechworld5 ай бұрын

  I don't think the 9V battery test is needed at this point but you can try this kzread.info/dash/bejne/f66Bw7uGhKXXmso.html to see if the cone feels or sounds like it is rubbing / scratching (make sure you gently press in on the speaker cones). Have you tried swapping speaker channels (swap the cables to the opposite channel) to see if the problem moves?

• 
  @arielstereo54845 ай бұрын

  @avcsstechworld Thank you. I swapped sub 1 input to sub 2 input on the avr and the same. Same with different cables. I'll try the gentle press and maybe the battery test even though it's a pain removing the plate again and disconnecting the wires from the woofers to test. Tight space but for peace of mind.

  You can use any wire to "jumper" the connections as needed. When you make your jumper wire, make sure to twist the wires together before making the connections. As far as wires that are "tinned" it is not recommended to use them on any crimp type connection. Here is a video explaining why kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWV2o9qqkdO6l6w.html hope this helps.

• 
  @avcsstechworld8 ай бұрын

  I would suggest the following: 1. The AC setting is correct, but is there a actual voltage setting (such as 20V, 200V, etc) - if yes, set it to 200. 2. Is this an AC to AC Adapter or an AC to DC Adapter (sorry, without seeing the adapter I had to ask). 3. To make sure your meter is working correctly, check a wall circuit or a different adapter. If in fact this is an AC to AC adapter, and your meter works correctly, the Adapter is most likely defective as you should be getting 19VAC (or higher without a load). Hope this helps.
