AudioJog Pro 8 review from Guitar & Bass Magazine

AudioJog Pro 8
Working in the Audio industry
means troubleshoting – and
any musician or sound
engineer knows to check
the cables first. The usual method is
subsititution… but what if the cable
you’re swaping in is also faulty, or more
than one cable doesn’t work? It’s easy
to waste precious hours finding out.
You can use a multimeter, but it’s fiddly, especially when
you have to hold both ends of
the cable and the multimeter
probes simultaneously.
The AudioJoG Pro 8
could be a life saver. Plug one
end of the cable into Local and
the other into Remote, switch
on, and the LED will tell you if
there is continuity between the
various pins and terminals.
Cables you can test are 3,4,5
and 6 pin XLR, stereo and
mono ¼” and mini jack,
bantam, 4 and 8 pole
Speakon, 3, 5 and 8 pole DIN,
phono, BNC, Ethernet and
USB. Pressing the Test button
scrolls through the LED
display to test each
connection. Alternatively, store
the cable configuration into the
Pro 8’s memory to test similar
cables automatically.
VERDICT
If you only need to test audio
cables the Pro 8 is maybe a
little over the top, and there are
cheaper
alternatives available,
but nothing we know is as
comprehensive and the USB
and Ethernet options reflect
the computer music era.
