Tone generators are used to identify cables and wires using their power signal as a key identifier as to where and what the cable is, even with out being able to see it.
In wall prewired audio and video equipment can be hard to locate through the walls unless you have a tone and probe kit. By giving cables and wires a power supply from the Smart Tone, you can test the cables to not only see if they have a clean uninterrupted signal, but you can also use the probe to trace the line exactly where it runs inside walls. The Smart Probe is also compatible with analog tone generators.
This kit from Hobbes allows you to generate digital tone to avoid noise and false signals. You can also send single and dual audible tones. There is 9 LED level indicators to show strength and wire map. Trace 1 KHz regular tones and test wire map cables.
