Behringer CT200

Excellent Testing Unit

It's been a long while since I bought this and it's still going substantially strong as our studio's go-to cable tester. The cross functionality of testing, for instance jack to xlr cables comes in handy. The manual is very straight forward. Overall if I ever need to replace this unit I would be looking at getting this identical one again, or if an upgraded version is our there I'd consider that.

TS-plug testing doesn't work.

Funnily enought, testing of 1/4" TS-plug cables seem to be not supported. Shows up "1+3 shorted". Disappointed.

Works fine

The tester works fine, the only issue is that it cannot recognise balanced vs unbalanced jack cables, and the tester tells you the cable is not good when you just connect a normal instrument cable, as it thinks the slave is touching the ring, but there is no ring, only tip and slave... Bu knowing that you can test that the tip does not bridge with the other.

Good product for reasonable money!

Good product. If you need a fast cable tester and you are not an electrician :) it will be the right choice. A lot of connector options have been thought out, which are used in connection with music. If you want to go deeper, there are also advanced options, call lines, phantom testing, etc.

In short, a good helper for quick cable testing, which does not take up much space, so you can always have it with you on the job. Purchase recommendation.

ok

Very good quality, perfect for the price, unfortunately it is not possible to test 6.35mm TS jack like in guitar cable, only TRS.

Tested all my cables for a new studio move

Device worked really well for weeding out those intermittent cables that sometimes work and sometimes don't. XLRs, balanced jacks, guitar cables, USB A to B... even mini jack leads! Worth every penny to have that confidence when you take them all out for a job.

TS cable seen as shorted by default

I would easily give this product 5 stars but there's a built-in manufacturing issue that is baffling. If you test a TS 1/4" cable (i.e. an unbalanced instrument cable) it will show it as shorted because the 1/4" in/out expects a TRS (balanced) cable. This seems like a super-easy hardware fix with a simple selector on the unit. The documentation bldly claims the unit supports TS cables(!) which is technically true as long as you Pavlov yourself into accepting your perfectly good cables been shown as faulty. If you ask me, I find this tough to swallow, especially when 90% of the cables I bought it to test are 1/4" TS ones.

Solid construction, business like - but not for me

A very good selection of connector types (although a few more USB connector variants would be good) in a solidly built, professional looking box.

I found it somewhat annoying that the 1/4" jacks are wired so that only stereo jacks get the 'Green' OK light. Mono jack cables display as some sort of fault - because the tester reads the ring and the sleeve as shorted. That notwithstanding, it is a handy and very reasonably priced addition to any band tool kit

Behringer finally did something right

Alot of features, and easy to use

A must tool

Great unit to have in your tool box
