Whirlwind Cab Driver Speaker Component Checker

Bring precision and efficiency to your audio setup with the Whirlwind Cab Driver Speaker Component Checker. This innovative device is specifically designed to test and verify the functionality of speaker components housed within various enclosures. It operates by transmitting a pink noise signal source through user-friendly pushbutton selectors to a wide range of speaker connectors.

The Whirlwind Cab Driver is compatible with a variety of connectors, including Speakon NL8 and NL4, 1/4" TS, and banana jacks. This ensures its versatility and adaptability to different audio setups. The pink noise level can be fine-tuned to suit different speaker types, from powerful subwoofers to midrange cones, compression drivers, and tweeters, ensuring accurate testing across a broad spectrum of audio equipment.

In addition to its primary functions, this speaker component checker also features an XLR line output. This allows for the pink noise to be fed directly to self-powered speaker units, enhancing its functionality and convenience.

The device also includes a DC OHMS TEST button that applies 5 VDC to the selected output terminals. This feature allows for the observation of cone movement, helping to identify speaker and cabling polarity errors. Furthermore, it performs a DC Ohms test, with three LEDs indicating approximate ranges of 4, 8, or 16 Ohms. This feature is particularly useful for identifying blown drivers in cabinets where the cones are not easily visible or in cabinets with multiple drivers in series parallel configurations.

The Whirlwind Cab Driver Speaker Component Checker is powered by 4 AA batteries, offering portability and ease of use. Alternatively, it can also be powered by an external 6 VDC power supply (not included), providing flexibility for different usage scenarios. This device is an essential tool for anyone seeking to maintain optimal performance of their audio equipment.
