Shure A15TG Tone Generator
The Shure A15TG is a battery-powered 700 Hz tone generator for troubleshooting low-impedance, balanced microphone inputs.
It has a three-pin XLR connector and a recessed on/off switch. It tolerates phantom power and short circuits, and it works normally again once a short is cleared.
One 1.5 V battery, such as an A76 alkaline, runs it for about 1,000 hours, and a removable end cap makes the battery easy to change.
Features
- 700 Hz mic-level test tone

About Shure
Shure began in 1925 as the Shure Radio Company, a radio parts wholesaler in Chicago. In 1953 they introduced the Vagabond 88, the first handheld wireless microphone system for performers. They launched the SM57 in 1965 and the SM58 in 1966, and their Axient Wireless System followed in 2011. Today their range covers microphones, wireless systems, in-ear monitoring, headphones, and earphones.
