relatively cheap but dependable/accurate xlr cable tester available locally?
« on: January 27, 2013, 08:22:26 PM »
Good day MT&PA friends.

I have been getting some minor static on my recordings. Nangyari na sa akin before and dati I realized it was faulty cables. Well, dati iilan pa lang cables ko, ngayon nahalo ko yung old with the new nung nag-renovate ng bahay. Same colors ng cables, same make and model yung mga connectors. Dunno which is which anymore hehehe.

Anyway, anyone know of a relatively cheap but dependable/accurate xlr cable tester available locally?

Thank you.

I was at Wilcon Hardware along Visayas Ave. when I noticed a XLR cable tester in their electronics section. Didn't see the brand or price... sorry. When I pass by Wilcon tomorrow, I'll update this thread.

Wow thanks sir KitC!
sakto malapit lang sa bahay. I might pass by a little later. Is this the new, big wilcon? Mismong sa loob ng wilcon sir o sa ibang stores?

Thanks!

The big one along Visayas; look inside the hardware section sa may aisle 16 ata. Was there earlier pero nangungulit si esmi... wasn't able to check out the electronics.

Talaga? I'll try again. I remember seeing one but the memory is a bit fuzzy about the location. I do remember about seeing it in a store where you won't typically see such an item. About the next place I can think of is that hardware place in the new Robinsons supermarket along Tandang Sora since that and Wilcon are the 2 places I've been frequenting lately. I'll let you know when I see one.
