Setup and Charging
Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the AT-2 Pro using the provided USB-C cable. Connect the cable to the USB-C port on the device and to a standard USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator will show progress and turn off when fully charged (approximately 1.5 hours).
Powering On/Off
Press and hold the power button to turn the device on or off. The display will illuminate upon activation.
Operating Modes
1. Signal Generator (1kHz Tone & Pink Noise)
The signal generator provides a clean test signal for various audio equipment.
- Connect the AT-2 Pro to the input of the device you wish to test (e.g., mixer, DI box, active speaker) using an XLR or 1/4" cable.
- Press the 1kHz Tone or Pink Noise button to select the desired signal.
- Adjust the output level using the -10/-20/-40 dB pad switches to match the input sensitivity of the connected equipment.
- Monitor the signal through the connected equipment or via the AT-2 Pro's headphone output/built-in speaker.

2. XLR Cable Tester (Pin-by-Pin)
Test XLR cables for continuity and correct wiring.
- Connect both ends of the XLR cable to the AT-2 Pro's XLR input and output ports.
- Press the XLR Cable Test button. The device will automatically cycle through pins 1, 2, and 3, indicating their status.
- Alternatively, you can manually select pins to test by repeatedly pressing the button.
- Green LEDs indicate a good connection for each pin. Red LEDs or no illumination indicate a fault.

3. 48V Phantom Power Check + XLR Input Metering
Verify phantom power supply and monitor input signal levels.
- Connect the AT-2 Pro to an XLR input that is expected to provide phantom power.
- The Phantom Power Check LEDs will indicate the voltage: a solid light for 44-52V (typical 48V OK) and a flashing light for 24-44V (low/unstable).
- The XLR Input Meter LEDs (SG for Signal, PK for Peak) will illuminate to show signal presence and warn of very hot levels.

4. Headphone/Built-in Speaker Monitoring
Listen to incoming audio signals directly from the device.
- Connect headphones to the 1/8" headphone output jack or use the built-in speaker.
- Adjust the volume using the dedicated volume knob.
- This feature allows for quick verification of audio signals at any point in your signal chain.
