The Shure A15TG Tone Generator is a battery-powered 700 Hz signal source that can be used to troubleshoot low-impedance, balanced-line microphone inputs.
The A15TG includes a recessed On-Off switch and a three-pin XLR audio connector. A removable end cap allows easy battery installation and removal. The A15TG can also tolerate the presence of phantom power, or a short circuit in the line it is driving. Built-in short circuit protection allows normal operation to resume after a short is removed.
The A15TG can operate continuously for approximately 1000 hours on one 1.5V alkaline battery (see battery specification for suggested types). To conserve battery power, make sure the On-Off switch is in the Off position when the A15TG is not in use.
