This has all the basic test-loop configurations and because of its end-to-end pin-out matching allows you to test cables with different connections at each end (i.e. TRS to XLR, TS to Speakon, etc.) If you understand pinouts you can easily use this to test insert cables and other non-standard and custom cables. Includes probes making it easy to test about anything for continuity. Built like a tank and both solid and easy to use.
