Product Overview
The DBX CT2 cable tester is a compact, battery-powered diagnostic tool for testing the most common professional audio, video, and data cable types in live sound, AV installation, and studio environments. With a built-in 6-position rotary selector and support for XLR, TRS, TS, RCA, BNC, MIDI, DMX, Speaker Twist, and Banana connectors, the CT2 covers the connector types found on the majority of professional AV signal and power cabling.
Product Description
The DBX CT2 cable tester provides rapid go/no-go cable testing for professional audio and AV applications without the complexity or cost of advanced multi-pin analyzers. A single 6-position rotary selector steps through the connector configurations, and LED indicators confirm continuity and identify wiring faults including shorts, opens, and reversed pins. The single-unit (non-split) design is optimized for testing cables before installation or during troubleshooting, where both ends of the cable are accessible simultaneously. The CT2 runs on a single 9V battery and is compact enough to carry in a tool bag or pocket. Available at Creation Networks as a straightforward cable tester for working audio technicians.
