iamchristuffin Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 This will possibly be a silly question, but: How do you test a jack-jeck return on a snake, in a studio environment? None of the mics have jack ins, so I can't think what to use as the source! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.calder Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Usually, my fingers. If you rub your finger between the Tip and Sleeve you will get a 'crackle'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 or use a meter to check resistance. (I was going to say "with a voltmeter", but pedantry got in the way :) ). Or any simple cable tester and a flying jack lead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Bloke Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 How do you test a jack-jeck return on a snake, in a studio environment? None of the mics have jack ins, so I can't think what to use as the source! Don't forget that at the end of the day it's just a cable. It may have been designed as a return but can be used as a send too. You could use a keyboard as a send going to the mixer or a small powered monitor as a return coming from the mixer. Or you could use a CD player with a phono-jack lead... or indeed with the correct adaptor you could use pretty much anything! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunker Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Use a cable tester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Behringer do a cheap one. Or a multimeter like said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
