Galaxy Audio Women's Red/Green Cpts Cricket Audio System Polarity And Continuity Tester
An indispensable tool for live Sound System ProfessionalsGalaxy Audio's CRICKET is a 2-piece battery-powered Polarity Tester ('Send' and 'Receive'). Great for sound contractors, musicians, DJs, and many others, it can test the polarity of wireless microphones, mixers, effects devices, amps, cables and speakers — basically every component in your system. Polarity, should it become reversed, can play havoc with a sound system. If 2 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 out. While cancellation does not always result in a complete loss of all sound, it does cause diminished sound quality. Unlike phase, polarity, at all distances and times, is either in or out. It's absolute. CRICKET makes it easy to determine whether the components of your audio system — from patch bay to console to speakers — is in or out of polarity. It can test balanced and unbalanced cables of up to 2,000ft in length. It'll drive a "snake" (even one with transformers), and indicate which of a microphone's XLR connector pins is hot. A glance at the unit's red and green LED's can save hours of troubleshooting. It's easy to understand why it's an indispensable tool for sound system owners, operators and installers — anybody working with sound systems.ApplicationsSound contractors • Musicians • DJs • Sound system owners, operators and installers • Other audio prosFeaturesChecks continuity and polarity¼" TRS and XLR in/outTests speakers, mics, cables and wireless systemsTests mixers and signal processors for polarity inversionsInternal speaker for testing mic polarityInternal mic for testing speakersHigh-level output for testing miles of cableBattery test on Receive module saves troubleshooting timeSpecificationsCRICKET-S Send Pulse Generator:Pulse 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 ¼" jack and pin #2 of XLR jack.Speaker Output Pulse: Accepts 2 Ω (or greater) load with positive pressure produced at the tip of a ¼" speaker jack and positive terminal of an internal speaker.Dimensions (H x W x D): 1.9" x 3.46" x 5.83" (48.26 x 87.88 x 148mm)Weight (with battery): 14.4 oz.

If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit.
