- Be confident in your cables ahead of your performance. Don’t be “that guy” or “that girl” who shows up pumping out static on stage. 😜 I say that because that was ME back in the day…

I think you skipped the "Installed Cable Tester Mode" that allows you to test an installed cable that doesn't allow you to connect both ends of the cable to the CT100. You attach a "shorted plug" to one end of the cable being tested and the other end of the cable to the CT100. Pretty slick :-)
Hello @KC9KEP You are so right and I knew this going into it. I wasn't 100% sure how that worked and the manual was a bit vague on that point. Now we have your comment to explain it a bit more. Thanks for watching and for your contribution!
I've had one for years. It's been a life saver from time to time. Makes identifying intermittent cables a breeze. There was a time that I thought that the CT100 was the best product Behringer made but I digress. They've come a long way.
Hello YamahaGrand - thanks for the comment and nice to hear you've been using the product for years. I'm counting on this as the first and last cable tester I'll ever need. 👍🏻
Great informative video, thank you! The only thing I'd say is I wish it was zoomed in. I had to go to 1.5x so I could see the device well. Thanks again.
@lookmanostrings Thank you for your comment. Good idea to zoom in a bit more for next time - especially on small equipment like this... 👍
Great video- thx for making and sharing!
@adrianclarke6829 Hello Adrian. Happy to do it, and thanks for leaving a comment...
very helpful, thanks
Glad you found it helpful @jfrun
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information
You are welcome @Anil Kumar! - thanks for leaving a comment. 🤙🏻
Very helpful, especially since the manual from Behringer doesn’t explain any of this!
Hello Thomas Porter - glad you benefited from this review/demo. Yes, what little paperwork they did provide was minimal at best. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment today.
Which is odd since the X32 manual has every illustration known to man. On my shopping list for the new church year.
That XLR test I thought the intermittent fail lights came on when the plugs were wiggled ?
@djmorry8748
Hmm, during the XLR part of the video, I accidentally pulled the cable out, and that caused the lights to adjust. However, later on (after I recorded the video), I think I did further testing on that same cable and determined it was intermittent.
Great video Marc. Does this work with cables for pedals, e.g. sustain, volume, etc? Thanks!
Hi Bob. Thanks for watching and for your question. I don't think it works with pedals, as the tester box requires both cable ends to make a complete connection.
@@MyKeysToMusic That makes sense. Got one and it’s great addition to the ‘tackle box”
@@RGSullivan17 Yes indeed!
Hi, I have a 300 ft xlr cable that is installed at a venue and both male and female ends cannot be brought together without having to uninstall it. Is it possible to remotely test if it works? Perhaps using 2 if these CT100s?
@FireLiteCreations, I wish I had the answer to this question - I really don't know. You could post this on a Pro Audio site, perhaps, or just go ahead and buy two and return one after you are done? You could also ask this question directly from Behringer, perhaps, too. Good luck!
Plug one end into the board and the tester with a test tone on the other.
@@larryfinke6133 I tried and it didn’t work. I’m guessing it’s because the timing needs to be perfectly synced between the two devices in order for it to test the line.
apparently you need adapters to test 1/4" guitar cables?! that's weird since it's such a common cable.
Hey @tigros999 I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. I don't believe I was using an adapter for the 1/4" guitar cable shown early on in the video?
