Frequently Asked Questions

No, this is specifically designed for NL4 speaker connectors only. XLR cables require a different type of tester.
The range is practical for runs up to about 100 feet, beyond that signal degradation can make interpretation difficult.
The chart is fairly intuitive, but a quick read of the manual will ensure accurate interpretation of the LED indicators.
