An indispensable tool for live Sound System Professionals
Galaxy Audio's CRICKET is a 2-piece battery-powered Polarity Tester ('Send' and 'Receive'). Great for sound contractors, musicians, DJs, and many others, it can test the polarity of wireless microphones, mixers, effects devices, amps, cables and speakers — basically every component in your system. Polarity, should it become reversed, can play havoc with a sound system. If 2 sources are emitting the same electrical or acoustic tone (frequency), and one of those sources is in a state of inverted polarity, those tones, when combined at a given point, will cancel each other out. While cancellation does not always result in a complete loss of all sound, it does cause diminished sound quality. Unlike phase, polarity, at all distances and times, is either in or out. It's absolute. CRICKET makes it easy to determine whether the components of your audio system — from patch bay to console to speakers — is in or out of polarity. It can test balanced and unbalanced cables of up to 2,000ft in length. It'll drive a "snake" (even one with transformers), and indicate which of a microphone's XLR connector pins is hot. A glance at the unit's red and green LED's can save hours of troubleshooting. It's easy to understand why it's an indispensable tool for sound system owners, operators and installers — anybody working with sound systems.
