DESCRIPTION

The CT 1 consists of two RCA jacks, two

1/4" jacks, two female XLR, two male XLR

jacks, and two MIDI jacks.

To test RCA and 1/4" TS cables, plug each end of the cable into the proper jack and

wiggle the cable around at different points on the cable. Watch the 1 and 2 LEDs, if

either LED is off, or goes on and off - the cable is bad.
The testing procedure for 1/4" TRS (stereo) and XLR cables is identical to the above,

except watch the 1, 2 and 3 LEDs. Adapter type cables, such as 1/4" to XLR cables,

may also be tested by plugging each end into it's proper jack on either side of the line.

Test as indicated above.
To test a MIDI cable, plug each end

of the cable into the MIDI jacks and

test as described above. Watch the

1 and 2 LEDs, if either LED is off, or

goes on and off - the cable is bad.
NOTE: WHEN TESTING A 1/4"

MONO TO RCA CABLE, CON-

NECT THE 1/4" PLUG TO THE

LEFT 1/4" JACK AND THE RCA

TO THE RIGHT RCA JACK. DUE

TO A PARTICULAR CIRCUIT

CONSIDERATION, TESTING VICE

VERSA (WITH THE 1/4" ON THE

RIGHT AND THE RCA ON THE

LEFT) WILL BE INACCURATE.
