Galaxy Audio Battery Powered Cricket Polarity/Continuity Test Set, 1/4" TRS and XLR In/Out, High Level Output

An essential tool for audio professionals, the Galaxy Audio Cricket Polarity/Continuity Test Set is a robust and reliable device designed to ensure the integrity of your sound system. This durable tester is invaluable for sound contractors, musicians, DJs, and anyone involved in the production or maintenance of audio equipment.

The Cricket's user-friendly interface allows for quick and efficient testing of audio cables, including both TRS and XLR connections. With its high-quality, battery-powered design, the Cricket offers the convenience of on-the-go testing without the need for an external power source, making it perfect for use in remote locations or when swift setup is required.

Polarity issues can significantly impact the quality of a sound system. The Galaxy Audio Cricket addresses this by providing a straightforward method to verify that all components, from patch bays and consoles to speakers, are correctly aligned in polarity. This high-level output tester can handle balanced and unbalanced cables up to 2,000 feet in length, and is capable of driving a multi-channel audio "snake" while identifying the active pins on an XLR connector.

The two-piece unit, comprising a 'Send' and 'Receive' module, simplifies the process of diagnosing and correcting polarity and continuity concerns. The 'Send' unit generates a pulse that travels through the audio path, while the 'Receive' unit interprets this pulse, indicating its positive or negative status with easy-to-read red and green LEDs. This immediate visual feedback can save countless hours of troubleshooting, making the Cricket an indispensable asset for ensuring optimal sound quality.

Each unit features a quick reference guide on the bottom, providing clear instructions on how to interpret the LED indicators. The Galaxy Audio Cricket Polarity/Continuity Test Set is not only efficient and easy to use but also an essential investment for anyone dedicated to maintaining the fidelity and performance of their sound systems.
