Thanks for your awesome run-down. 3 years later & still helping.
My search for a proper cable tester has ended. I've seen this tester among others in an online shop, and that LED display on Bhringer intrigued me. Cool, I found your video that explain what it does. Thanks!
To test the installed cables you have to use the OUTPUT , otherwise it wont work,. I got stuck on this until I reread the manual section again. I tesed a cable in the output and shorted pins on other end of cable it does work.
Thanks for the help. Have been trying to figure this unit out. Having to buy adapters to test guitar cables was a bit of a drag.
You don't have to buy the adapters. If the test result of an unbalanced cable is 31/13 then you know it's good. It is a good thing that Behringer did it this way, since there is a possibility of a balanced 3 pin cable that could have a short between ring and sleeve, and this tester is going to indicate it.
@@gctechs Hey, I know this was 3 years ago but you still around? Can you explain nicely why we know 31/13 is good for unbalanced cables on this? Is it because pins 1 & 3 are both shorted so we can confirm it's a working unbalanced cable? My 3.5mm TS cable also shows 2/2 which means pins 2 & 2 are "open", is that right & just saying there's no pin 2 connections because it's referring to a balanced cable?
Thanks.
Can you suggest an adapter to test mono 1/4" jack leads please?
the tester has a problem with 10-meter TS guitar jack cables with a cross-section of 0.75 mm. In the RCA reduction it indicates 21.12 and blinks.
For your last experiment, the installed cable testing, if you look on the side of the device, it says to turn it on with "reset/option" pressed. I haven't tested this myself, though. Thanks for the video.
Great video! You explain everything so well. I just got my ct200. it came with a manual with hardly any info. The online manual had way more info than what I got with mine. But it is giving me intermittent on so many of my 1/4 instrument cables. But these same cables sound amazing when I use them and have given me no trouble. Do you think I can trust the tester? Do you think they seem fine now, but are going to crap out if I keep using them? They are old cables with tons of gigging time on them. Thanks for your video and time.
you have to be careful with this tester because when you first insert the cable on TRS connectors like the 1/4 inch, you have to insert the cable fully and then tap the reset button. what's happening is the tester is sensing the first two-thirds of the connector is inserted and registers it as intermittence. Unlike the XLR or other connectors, when you insert them it engages all pins roughly at the same time. It's just a quark of the tester. rule of thumb insert the cable hit reset and wiggle the cable to find if it has an intermittence.
Do you know if the tester allows testing of different connectors eg TRS to XLR, XLR to Speakon etc?
DanisKool yes it dose allow to mix connector tests.
@@GetNshitDone Cheers, i just got myself one
Question ... So I have a pa speaker that is mounted about 20 feet high on a baseball field pole .... and it stopped working its hooked up by a speakon cable .... if I hook the end of the speakon cable to this can I send a test sound to that outside speaker to confirm that the speaker still works ... the outside speaker is 100 percent water proof so I'm confused y it's not working
Soooooo First of all is it a JBL white or black square ish box? if so the tweeter is probably blown. But that is just a guess I have had to replace many of them.
Digging a little deeper without knowing what box you have, you may have a NL4 (speakon) connector on the AMP side but most if not all outdoor speakers and install speakers for that matter have screw terminals but that is besides the point. The point is that depending on the what type of speaker it is for example if the speaker is a bi-amp type, that means that there is no internal cross over if it infect has 2 or more drivers inside the box. If that is the case then you should be able to take a multimeter and measure pins 1 and 2 or pins 3 and 4 and get a reading of 2, 4, 6, 8, ohms roughly.
However If the speaker dose not use all 4 pins of the NL4 and it only uses two conductors, then the speaker will (should) have a internal crossover that may give you a odd reading.
ORRRR the speaker could be part of a 70 Volt system that uses transformers and now your on to a whole other level altogether.
Here's what "MAY" be wrong 1.The cable pulled out of there screw terminal block on the back of the speaker. I have seen crazy things where over time cable get pulled out of the back of speakers because there was not adequate slack in the cable and over time if just pulled out. 2. Corrosion inside the speaker or on the terminal block 3. the internal blade connecters between the speaker inside the box and the outside of he box came loos 4. The crossover circuit is bad 5. the speaker is blown 6. internal corrosion seized the speaker (which by the way could give you good reading on a multimeter but little to no sound coming out)
The list goes on but those are some of the things that could be wrong. not to mention that the cable itself could be bad between you and the speaker. My recommendation would be to but a good multimeter like a Fluke-101 amzn.to/3Map6Z5
or a
Fluke 117
amzn.to/3sxE6s2
The reason I say a good meter like Fluke or Brymen or uni-T is that you will not have to worry Like a cheep 5 dollar meter is giving a false reading.
Get one of these meters and it will give you more information about the connection then the cable tester. So the short answer is only use the cable tester for testing cables and if there is anything in line with the cable use a multimeter. But be aware that internal circuity of the speaker may also give you unusual reading.
@@GetNshitDone thanks for all that great info .... the speaker is a ... technomad Pairs... this speaker is bullet proof they even have it in display soaked in water ... check it out it's cool.... but the cable is all ran under ground and up a pole so it's never exposed... I wish there was a Tester that would run like a ping noise from 1 end of the speakon threw the wire to the speaker n make noise like static so that way I know the cable and the speaker work or if the speaker makes no noise then I know it's gotta be the speaker
what’s the difference between ct100 and ct200?
The manual says this about the "installed" mode: "Press and hold the Reset/Option button, move the Mode switch to the Cable Tester position, then release the Reset/Option button..." It's not very intuitive, but it should work . ;-)
Thanks for the correction do you like or use this function?
@@GetNshitDone I'm in the process of selecting such a device right now. Therefore doing some research on the internet to find out about the strengths and weaknesses of the different options. This one looks quite nice, but there's another one I like for it's 7-pin DIN connectors also. Other devices with a knob for stepping through the different pins give you more time to understand the connections have their charm, but these don't have the intermittent warning and they cannot indicate if there's phantom power or not... Are you still satisfied with your Behringer CT200? How long have you been using it so far and are you unhappy with anything or missing a certain feature?
Is there a full user manual? Can't find it anywhere...
@@frankiesayrelaxx, you can download it from the Behringer homepage at www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Accessories/Cable-Testers/CT200/p/P0BBR/Downloads#googtrans(en|en)
@@GetNshitDone I've got one more question to be clarified before finally getting one of these devices: during the last two weeks I identified three patch cables (TS 1/4" jacks) in my rack (connected to a patch bay) that had a connection between signal and shield with a resistance between 32 and 300 kohms. A regular continuity tester wouldn't tell me that these cables aren't in good shape, but my more advanced meter did. I would want to find out about such problems as well. How does the CT200 react if you connect such cables? Will it warn you about shorted pins even if the resistance between them is that high?
Just read the manual before you make a tutorial
If you take the time to read the title of the video. It is a review, not a tutorial. Just read the title before you make a post. 🤣🤣🤣
