NAMM 2026: XVIVE AT-2 & AT-3: Professional Audio Testers Made Simple for Musicians and Venues

In live sound and studio environments, troubleshooting audio issues quickly and accurately is essential. XVIVE has introduced two powerful tools designed to make diagnosing problems easier than ever: the AT-2 and the AT-3. Both are aimed squarely at audio professionals but are intuitive enough for gigging musicians and venue operators who need reliable solutions on the go.

AT-2: Compact and Essential

The AT-2 is a portable, high-precision audio tester that packs five essential functions into a single unit. Building on the success of the AT-1, it offers improved accuracy and stability while remaining easy to carry. Here’s what it can do:

1. Signal Generator
   Outputs a 1 kHz sine wave or pink noise through XLR, ¼-inch, and ⅛-inch connectors, with selectable levels (-10 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB). Perfect for checking gain staging and verifying signal flow.
2. XLR Cable Tester
   Quickly checks all three pins of an XLR cable for proper connectivity—a lifesaver during setup.
3. XLR Input Metering
   Measures input levels at the female XLR connector, helping diagnose mixer or preamp issues.
4. Phantom Power Check
   Tests phantom power voltage and ensures both pins are functioning correctly—critical for condenser mics and active DI boxes.
5. Headphone & Speaker Monitoring
   Monitor audio sources via the ⅛-inch headphone jack when connected to XLR or ¼-inch inputs.

Ideal for testing powered speakers, DI boxes, IEM systems, mixers, and more, the AT-2 is a must-have for anyone who needs fast, accurate diagnostics.

AT-3: The Ultimate Professional Audio Tester

For those who need even more flexibility, XVIVE’s AT-3 takes audio testing to the next level. This upgraded, split-design tester consists of two separate units—one with a male XLR connector (AT-3M) and one with a female XLR connector (AT-3F)—allowing you to test both ends of long cables simultaneously. This is a game-changer for installations and large venues where cable runs can be extensive.

Key features include:

1. Signal Generator
   Outputs a 1 kHz sine wave or pink noise through XLR, ¼-inch, and ⅛-inch connectors, with selectable levels (-10 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB).
2. XLR Cable Tester
   Supports split-unit remote testing for XLR or OMX cables—place one unit at each end for quick, accurate diagnosis of long cable runs.
3. XLR Input Metering
   Measures input levels at the female XLR connector for precise troubleshooting.
4. Phantom Power Check
   Tests the output voltage of phantom power and ensures both pins are functioning properly—essential for condenser microphones and active DI boxes.
5. Headphone & Speaker Monitoring
   When an audio source is connected to the female XLR or ¼-inch input, you can monitor the signal via the ⅛-inch headphone jack or built-in speaker.
6. Independent Operation
   The AT-3M unit transmits sine wave or pink noise signals via XLR-M or ¼-inch outputs, while the AT-3F unit receives audio signals through XLR-F or ¼-inch inputs and routes them to headphones or a speaker for monitoring. This enables fully independent and flexible audio testing.

Enhanced Battery Life:
Battery capacity has been significantly increased—from 340 mAh to 500 mAh and 700 mAh—ensuring extended operation time for demanding sessions.

Real-World Scenario: Festival Setup Made Easy

Imagine you’re setting up for a multi-band festival. The stage is wired with dozens of XLR cables running to the front-of-house mixer, and time is tight. Suddenly, one of the vocal channels isn’t passing signal. Instead of crawling through cable runs or swapping gear blindly, you grab the AT-3. Place the AT-3M at the stage end and the AT-3F at the mixer end—within seconds, you confirm the cable is faulty and replace it. No guesswork, no delays, and the show stays on schedule.

For smaller gigs, the AT-2 is equally practical. If a powered speaker isn’t responding during soundcheck, you can quickly send a test tone, check phantom power, and monitor the signal—all from one compact device.

Both testers reflect XVIVE’s commitment to practical, high-quality tools that simplify the lives of musicians and sound professionals. Whether you’re managing a busy venue, setting up a festival stage, or fine-tuning a studio, these devices ensure your audio chain stays solid.
