Sound Tools XLR Sniffer/Sender 5-stars Reviews

Great product!

Bought this to help identify channels on install patch boxes that weren't labelled - perfect tool for the job!

Invaluable tool

This thing has saved me so many hours of troubleshooting. I can't count the number of times I've walked into a venue and had the local techs tell me all the channels on the multi are good, yet somehow one of my mics sounds off or a DI isn't powering!

Rather then testing everything in the signal chain, I can just turn on 48v, whip off the microphone and stick the Male end on the end of the XLR. Three green lights, and I have a dodgy microphone. Anything else, and the cable is bad. Follow it back down the chain until you isolate the fault, and then bypass the problem cable!

excellent

bets piece of kit in my toolbox recommend to anyone,

next I'll be buying the nl4 sniffer.

Does Exactly What you'd expect!

Great tool! Unfortunately I find myself using more often than I'd like and it's always proven accurate a reliable. build quality is good, it's a shame the battery is a bit of an odd one, but I haven't had to replace it yet!

Only two niggles are the battery being a bit specialist and the fact that the two parts to the unit don't lock together particularly well, so they will come apart if they're placed into a bag or anywhere it isn't secure.

If given the choice though, I would buy this product again!

So Handy!

I bought this to troubleshoot lines out on the road, when you're not sure why a channel isn't working etc, i have since found even more uses: finding corresponding channels on a multi that isn't labeled for example!

The diagnosis of the faults aren't always 100% but if it says the line is all good then without fail so far, it has been right. To cut a long story short, i couldn't really do without it now. We sometimes even use this to silently line check before a show. and for the price... well its a no brainer for me. i shall now be purchasing the NL4 one as well!
