Low cost but reasonable quality...
When I was extending my studio I needed to create a very stable dual network - one for audio (AVB) and one for control of the Presonus equipment.
This device helped me no end in ensuring the network connectors were satisfactory as I fitted them and then tested them with this unit.
There are many other cable test features on this unit and for the money it worked well (and still is) for our studio environment where you can get cables creating problems at any time.
Low cost answer to find those dodgy cables, but it is one that does work.
Recommended.

As musician , soundtech and even lighting operator !
Multimeters both digital and analogue do the trick but this device brings just convenience thru its multiconnetors including sound both power signal as midi as ethernet as video bnc and so on and if you still work with non led or arc lamps you can use the 2 leads for continuity!

Great product, excellent value, just a little heavy!
This was in my "stocking filler" wish list for a while, and at the price, it was a no-brainer to add it to my order. I was amazed at the quality of what I got, and at how useful this has become.
One thing that confused me at first was the measurement of a standard (mono) guitar cable; in positions 1 and 3, two yellow LEDs will light, but this is correct because the test is also for TRS ("stereo") cables. A mono cable appears like a TRS cable with the ring and sleeve short-circuited.
The only criticism I would have is that the LEDs are super-bright and can almost blind you in dimly lit environments (i.e. most gigs!), and other than that, the device is built like a tank (+) but tanks are heavy (-), and this might be a bit heavy for a small kit bag.
Summary: just buy it, you won't regret it.

Great multipurpose cable tester
The Millenium MCT-20 can test basically any cable you desire, 3 pin XLR, 5 pin XLR etc to basically any other cable and a good price.
The biggest drawback is that it requires a 9V battery to operate and the housing this lives in is cheap and plastic compared to the rest of the cable tester which is metal, on my model the 9V battery compartment can sometimes partly fall out and needs to be pushed back in by a light jolt, which is a bit annoying,

mixed feelings but happy for the pricce
The battery is not very well secured and needs to be removed when not in use.
A better locking system for the battery could have been nice.
Otherwise it works well and do well its job

A tool Kit must have.
Able to test a huge selection of cables quickly and easily. simple to use, even for inexperienced users.
Only issue I've had is (after a lot of abuse admittedly) is the battery holder coming loose. not a major issue and something quickly solved with tape. still wouldn't be without one and would happily buy again

Perfect!
Totally amazing for this price! Has everything to check, and its easy to use!
Easy led light to check every single cable inside your cable if it's fully functioning. and it fits almost every possible cable inside the music industry!
There could be a little display yo show voltage of a battery if you have to replace the rechargable ones or something like that, and i would pay the extra money that it will cost for that
In other ways, GREAT tool! Well done!

Very useful unit
I play in a five piece rock band and am mainly responsible for the audio setup , so I have a bag full of XLR and 1/4 inch cables.
This unit was invaluable in setting up the PA to be able to quickly check my cables, coz they do get fizzley and stop working. Soldering iron time anyone - but thats a seperate topic.
The only thing I would like to see added to this would be a positive and negative sound to supplement the test.
A must have unit for the audio engineer / PA guy

Very handy diagnostic tool
A must in the gig bag and great for tracking down the source of trouble caused by faulty cables. The quality is OK but the XLR connector was a little ill-fitting on one side. Metal casing and nice bright leds.
