Verify Cable Integrity with a Tester

There is no worse scenario than showing up to a gig with just the right amount of cables that you would need only to discover one or more of them are dead. This would not have happened had you tested your cables prior to pack-up with the SM Pro Audio CT2 Cable Tester. It is both simple and inexpensive and can mean the difference between “going off without a hitch” or “complete bomb” in terms of a show or performance. Seriously, it costs a mere $29.95 and it will test all the major audio cables a musician or live sound guy would use in their line of work. I hear some people say, “Well, if I plug it in and it doesn’t work, the cable is bad.” You’re kidding…are you sure? Ok, maybe that wasn’t nice but the point is that not everybody has extra cables and if they do, they are weighing down their rigs more than necessary. Test them before pack-up on your way to the gig and then test them upon returning from the gig. Never again will you run into the issue of packing a faulty cable as long as you have a good-quality cable tester and you use it regularly.
