Polarity  should it become reversed  can play havoc with a sound system.If two sources are emitting the same electrical or acoustic tone (frequency)  and one of those sources is in a state of inverted polarity  those tones  when combined at a given point  will cancel each other.This severely alters the sound of a system.Polarity can be reversed while soldering cables  adding components to a sound system  reversing Banana plugs  or replacing a component in a speaker cabinet improperly  to name a few instances.The purpose of the CRICKET is to test the polarity of a sound system each time it is used to insure it is working properly.Galaxy Audio s battery powered CRICKET Polarity Continuity Test Set makes it easy to determine whether every component in an audio system from patch bay to console to speakers is in or out of polarity.The CRICKET tests balanced and unbalanced cables of up to 2 000 feet in length. It will drive a snake-in (even one with transformers)  and indicate which of a microphone s XLR connector pins is hot.The CRICKET can also plug directly into a speaker cabinet and drive the components. A glance at the CRICKET s red and green LED s can save hours of troubleshooting.No wonder it s an indispensable tool for sound system owners  operators  installers  and sound rental companies.The CRICKET Polarity Tester is a two-piece unit ( Send \u0026amp; Receive ).The Send unit generates a pulse   which is sent through the speaker  cable  microphone  or the device being tested.The Receive unit interprets that pulse and indicates if that pulse is positive or negative.The bottom of each unit has a quick reference guide on how to understand the readings given.The CRICKET Polarity Test Set is easy to use  necessary to own  and not a lot of money.The CRICKET is suggested for anybody working with sound systems.Checks continuity and polarity\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e1\/4-in TRS and XLR in\/out \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTests speakers, mics, cables and wireless systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTests mixers and signal processors for polarity inversions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInternal speaker for testing mic polarity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInternal mic for testing speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh level output for testing miles of cable\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBattery test on Receive module saves troubleshooting timePulse Waveform Polarity Positive-going balanced line output pulse, switch selectable for hi or low level balanced signal with positive pressure produced at the tip of 1\/4-in jack and pin #2 of XLR jack\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Output Pulse Accepts 2 ohm (or greater) load with positive pressure produced at the tip of a 1\/4-in speaker jack and positive terminal of an internal speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eControls Slide switch power ON\/OFF, Slide switch output Hi\/Low\/Spk\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions 1.9-in x 3.46-in x 5.83-in (48.26 x 87.88 x 148 mm)(HxWxD)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight (with battery) 14.4 oz (408.2 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBattery 9V (Alkaline only) \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCRICKET-R RECEIVE PULSE DETECTOR \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLED Indicators Green: indicates positive-going pulse polarity with power switch in ON-in position and battery status with power switch in BAT-in position.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRed: indicates negative-going pulse polarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDetection Inputs One 1\/4-in, balanced; One XLR, balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMic Sensitivity -64dB, +3dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFunction Select Polarity Only or Continuity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eControls Slide switch CON\/POL\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSlide switch power ON\/BAT\/OFF\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSlide switch Input MIC\/2-T\/3-R\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInput Gain pot\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions 1.9-in x 3.46-in x 6.38-in (48.26 x 87.88 x 162 mm) (HxWxD)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight (with battery) 14.4 oz (408.2 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBattery 9V (Alkaline only) \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePolarity\/Continuity Test Female XLR pin 2,3,1 continuity; 1\/4-in jacks: tip, ring, sleeve continuity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTest Set Shipping Weight 33.6 oz (952.5 g)\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"GALAXY AUDIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67765477343547,"sku":"THUN-CPTS0000","price":153.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/3832\/2364\/files\/61rg_E3CDuL.jpg?v=1792605876","url":"https:\/\/store.virventures.com\/products\/xlr-and-1-4-in-professional-cable-tester-matched-pair-checks-for-continuity-and-polarity","provider":"Virventures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
