Your Six-in-one Cable Tester!

The Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 cable tester is the professional's choice for multi-function cable testers. The Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 displays the exact wiring of any cable or adapter and even allows testing of cables installed in building walls. Its intermittent detection allows you to wiggle a cable and know if there was an intermittent connection at any time - even if you didn't see the LEDs change! With the functions of test tone generation, phantom power detect, and grounded XLR shield detect, the Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 is the perfect utility tool!

Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 Features:
  • Connectors: XLR, 1/4", RCA, 1/8", TT, MIDI
  • Cable Wiring Display clearly shows which pin is wired to what.
  • The Cable Wiring Display clearly shows continuity, opens and shorts for each pin.
  • Intermittent Detect and Display: The Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 stores and displays the intermittent information until you reset it - it even tells you which line has a problem.
  • Installed Cable Testing: Connect the Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 to one end of the cable and see if any of the lines are shorted together. Then, connect a shorting connector onto the other end of the cable and if the lines are good, the Cable Wiring display will show them as all shorted to each other.
  • Test Tone Generation: The Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 generates a 1kHz or 440Hz tone.
  • Phantom Detect: The Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 displays when a DC voltage is present on Pin 2 and Pin 3 individually.
  • Grounded Shield Detect: Confirms that the XLR connector shield is connected to Pin 1 (grounded).
  • Belt clip is included.
  • Runs on two AA batteries (not included).

The Ebtech Swizz Army 6 in 1 is the perfect utility tool - No studio or FOH engineer should be without one!

The BEST!

by Jonathan Stars from Lansing, MI
April 27, 2012
Music Background: 40 years professional musician and sound engineer.
I got this a couple years ago and it paid for itself in the first hour. I tested a pile of questionable cords I started building up in a drawer over 30 years ago. I had them all sorted in no time. I c... read more [+]ould easily see if the problem was the cord or the connector. And half of them had no problems at all. The problem turned out to be something I had tried to plug the cord into.
A little advice: once you plug in the cord, wiggle it along its whole length to see if it interrupts the signal. Some cords look good to start with, but have a break in one specific spot.
It takes a little getting used to the system of what the lights mean, just keep the booklet handy. You can download the manual as a PDF from the web, too. close [-]

I thought I had lost my Swizz Army so bought another. Now I keep one in each of two locations and use them both. Great device!

A Must Have

I bought this device at the suggestion of my Sales Engineer when I started making my own cables for my patch bay. My first impression was that this thing is built like a tank. It doesn't look or fee... read more [+]l cheap or "toy-ish." And best of all, it works! The readout is very easy to understand, and it allows me to check connections on cables very quickly and easily. It can test just about any and every plug you'd find in a studio. The added ability of checking Phantom Power and being able to send a test tone down a line at +4, -10 and Mic level is just further sweetening. If you need a way to quickly check cables and signal lines, this can't be beat in this price range (or many others in my opinion) close [-]

What a Great Tool!

The Swizz Army instantly solved problems that have plagued me for years. I had a whole drawer full of questionable cables that have just been sitting there. In 15 minutes I had all of them categorized... read more [+] for what was wrong with them, from intermittent connections to incorrectly wired mic cables.

It does take a little getting used to which lights mean what, but that problem cable drawer is now empty and hundreds of dollars of cables are back in use. I take it on the road with me, too. Get one! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Ron Daniel
Ebtech's Swizz Army box is an essential part of my equipment bag, whether I'm gigging out as a guitarist or running live sound. At this point, it's saved me hours of valuable pre-show time that would have otherwise been spent troubleshooting. No band or sound tech should ever show up without a great cable tester like this one.

I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional. I have never been treated with such thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly service from any of the music companies located in Saint Louis, MO.
