Product Description
The Palmer AHMCTXL V2 is the ultimate diagnostic tool for sound engineers, installers, and rental companies. In the high-pressure environment of a live show or a complex installation, a single faulty cable can bring an entire system to a halt. This rugged, handheld tester allows you to quickly verify the integrity of almost every cable type used in the professional AV industry.
From standard microphone cables to complex data and power leads, the AHMCTXL V2 provides instant, easy-to-read visual feedback on continuity, pin-to-pin mapping, and potential shorts.

External Test Probes: Includes a pair of specialized "banana" probes to test custom wiring, wall plates, or cables where the ends are in different rooms.
LED Logic Display: Two rows of bright LEDs show exactly which pin on the "A" side is connected to which pin on the "B" side—perfect for identifying "cross-wired" or phase-inverted cables.
