When you plug both ends of a properly wired, balanced mic cable into the tester, you should see three pairs of lights come on as you move the knob from position 1 to 2 and to 3. Unfortunately, it is not that easy for 1/4" instrument cables. Some have two conductors (tip & sleeve) and some have three (ring, tip, & sleeve). The three conductor 1/4" cables are usually balanced, but with this tester it is not easy to verify that because it uses the same jacks for testing all 1/4" cables. The best way to tell how a ring, tip, sleeve 1/4" cable is wired is to simply unscrew the strain relief on each end and look at the wiring. If you're not sure what to look for, you can search for a YouTube video that explains it. **Q: Will this check 4 and 5 pin xlr male/female for com systems specifically clear com?** A: This will test 3-pin XLR, but not 4- or 5-pin. **Q: In which country is this unit made.** A: This unit is manufactured in China. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mackie Cable Tester, 5-way switch Battery-Powered Connector Test, Black, (MTest-1) - Lesnow solder wick braid 10ft Length Desoldering Wick Braid Remover Tool Solder Sucker 1 piece No-Clean soldering Wick Wire Roll and Disassemble Electrical Components - SRA Solder 135 Rosin Paste Soldering Flux For Electronics, No Clean Flux Made for Lead and Lead-Free Solder Circuit Boards and Copper Electrical Wire - Safe Clean Residues with No Goopy Mess (2oz Jar) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/58965603-mackie-cable-tester-5-way-switch-battery-powered-connector-test](https://www.desertcart.no/products/58965603-mackie-cable-tester-5-way-switch-battery-powered-connector-test) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
