Faulty cables are one of the most common issues in malfunctioning DMX networks, but testing them hasn’t always been easy. The SoundTools DMX Sniffer/Sender simplifies the cable testing process so you can test your cables where they are in your setup and know instantly if your issue is cable or fixture related. They are also covered by our Lifetime Warranty.
The SoundTools DMX Sender is a battery-powered unit that attaches to the female end of a 5 pin DMX cable and sends the proper voltage to test the line. The DMX Sniffer has 3 LEDs that, when attached to the male end of the cable, instantly diagnosis the status of the cable. Both units are housed in rugged anodized aluminum that will not rust and remain practically indestructible. We hope you’ll be happy with the DMX Sniffer/Sender in your toolkit for years to come.
The LED's on my DMX Sniffer/Sender are showing all red when plugged directly into each other. Is it broken?
Typically this occurs when the batteries are put in backwards. Reversing its position will return it to all green.
Does the test check all 5 pins?
The DMX Sniffer/Sender test pins 1-3 on the DMX connector. Pins 4 and 5 are not tested. For 3 pin DMX cables, the XLR Sniffer/Sender will work as well.
Can you test 3 pin DMX cables with the XLR Sniffer/Sender?
Absolutely. The SoundTools XLR Sniffer/Sender will test your 3 pin DMX cable for continuity, insuring you're cables are ready for the next gig.
