If the male end is connected to a mic input with phantom power, you need only the male tool to test the cable. There are other tools which can detect a mic or line signal from the male end of the cable. **Q: I own the xlr sniffer tool .. i was told they make the same kind for 1/4" ts and trs ! where can find this one ?** A: So glad you find the XLR Sniffer/Sender so useful! The TRS (1/4") version of the tester is not currently available due to a redesign, but will be made available again some time soon! **Q: Do you make a 5 pin version ?** A: The SoundTools DMX Sniffer/Sender is a 5 PIN tester that tests pins 1-3 for continuity. **Q: How long of a run is this tester rated for?** A: When testing standard XLR cables, 1000 feet is generally recommended. We have successfully tested lines up to 2000 feet. A fresh battery is highly recommended if testing long distances. ## Frequently Bought Together - SoundTools XLR Sniffer/Sender Microphone Cable Remote End Cable Tester Tool, Small Portable (XLR, DMX, NL4) Audio Tester - MFL. 15-Plug Audio Cable Tester Line Finder Black 15-in-1 Cables Checker 10-Way Switch Wire Tracker with LED Indicators, Rectangular - SoundTools DMX Sniffer/Sender 5 PIN DMX Remote End Cable Tester --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/17183819-soundtools-xlr-sniffer-sender-portable-xlr-and-3-pin-dmx](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/17183819-soundtools-xlr-sniffer-sender-portable-xlr-and-3-pin-dmx) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
