Works quite well

By Kenny from Tennessee
Music Background: 50 year musician, 30 year engineer and producer.

I got this as a solution to some possible problems. It worked very well to verify the polarity on my all my recording hardware such as monitor amps, outboard gear etc., speakers, microphone cables, and microphones. It worked just as it was described. There are a number of comments about the quirky battery covers on the units. Maybe some are worse than others but mine were no problem at all. Knowing that up front, I was careful with them but had no problems.

Every studio needs this!!

By Lynn F. from IN
Music Background: Studio Engineer

Observing correct polarity is absolutely critical, whether for studio or stage. This is a MUST HAVE tool for any studio or live venue. Get one and use it — all the time. I've had mine for 20 years and I use it all the time. For engineers that travel from studio to studio it's a critical tool because you never know what you'll encounter. This tool enables technical troubleshooting before you encounter a problem.

Well Made

By Mark R.

Have owned the older version for years but it grew legs and walked away. I lent it to a Friend to check his touring system. He went on tour and came back but my Cricket is still on tour. So bought a new one. Works like the older one and is slightly restyled. Also now has a send and receive chart on the back section for quick connection review.

The only thing I would like to see added is a an "RCA Unbalanced " output jack on the unit. Had to ring out a High End Home Sound System. I had to use one of my adapters (XLR To RCA) to feed the Pre Amp input on the home unit.

Otherwise Great Product from Galaxy Audio. And thanks to Nick In Sales at Sweetwater for following thru on the sale and shipment.

Works Great

By Tom C. from Pittsburgh PA
Music Background: Live and Recording Mix Engineer, Producer, Musician. 40+ Years experience.

The Galaxy Audio Cricket Polarity Tester does exactly what I wanted it to do. I have a recording studio and I wanted to be sure that the polarity from the microphone to the speaker and all points in between along the signal chain was correct. You really don't want to have a cable or a piece of gear that is wired incorrectly and flipping the polarity on your audio signal and causing issues in the way things sound. I have also used this in a live PA system as well and it worked flawlessly.

The only flaw is in the way the battery covers are designed. The battery covers work fine but I really think they could have been designed better and is the only reason I gave a 4.5 rating. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to insert/replace the batteries.

I would highly recommend the Galaxy Audio Cricket Polarity Tester for anyone with a home or pro recording studio or anyone trying to troubleshoot PA polarity issues.

Galaxy Cricket

By N T. from Washington
Music Background: 25+ yr Guitar, Bass, Live sound, music junky, and apparently a gear snob.

Been using this for troubleshooting an old neglected sound system. They work great!
Fit and finish leave a lot to be desired... Battery cover is hokey, fits pretty badly. I had to bend the steel around to get the cover to kinda' fit right. Hopefully the batteries won't have to be changed very often!
For the price... A good buy.
