Assessment Tasks
Assessment
Construction of the 48V phantom power tester.
In this practical soldering project, you will construct a phantom power tester used to check the connectivity of cable runs and line voltage.
Construction of a 6.5 mm. Jack – 6.5 mm. Jack Guitar lead.
In this practical soldering project you will construct a 6.5 mm. Jack – 6.5 mm.
Construction of a Balanced to Un-Balanced lead.
In this practical soldering project, you will construct a balanced connector to an un-balanced connector. These are commonly used to connect playback devices to the XLR in on professional AV devices.
Construction of an XLR-XLR microphone lead
In this practical soldering project you will construct an XLR-XLR microphone lead.
