Customer reviews about Superlux Pink Stick

Toolbox essential

AVTECHUK 22.10.2017

If you work in live sound this is a toolbox essential. Most consoles these days have a pink noise facility on the console which can be sent to various outputs.
The pink stick though is more of a test tool. If you work as a stage patch on a festival or need to perform line checks this is the tool you need.

The pink stick has various modes apart from pink including pulse, and 1khz tone. In between each tone is a mute function which is more like power off as you can hear a nosie from a pa system or through headphones when this is switched to a position.

To make the pink stick easier to use and plug into stage boxes I have added a short xlr lead, by short i mean 30-50cm ish, I find It makes it easier to use.

I am very surprised at the low cost of the pink stick. The build quality seems good although the weakest part seems to be the switch knob on the end.

Overall I find the pink stick a great toolbox tool.

Excellent product at a bargain price

David6858 10.03.2015

This is phantom powered tone generator in the shape of a long XLR plug. It produces tone, clicks, or white noise as selected by a rotary switch on the far end. I've found it works well and is ideal for setting up equipment in sound systems. I was once doing live sound at an event that was being filmed for TV and the cameraman (from a major broadcaster) needed some tone to line up his camera. I plugged this into a spare mic input on the mixer, problem solved, and the camerman was well impressed. It is solidly made with a metal body and has survived several years in a bag of adaptors and connectors. It's simple, effective, and very cheaply priced. I'd say that every sound engineer should have one!

Perfect

julian spiteri 27.12.2018

I use this signal generator to check the levels when connecting a sub-mixer to the main mixer. It always works perfectly for this task. If handled with care it should have a long life. The rotating knob is somewhat fragile.

good noise generator, unsure of knob durability

briarputty 13.12.2017

I like this unit, it does what I need. I wonder about longterm durability of it, and if a switch on the side would not be a bit more rugged.
have used it a lot for finding levels and tracking down routing issues, and it works great.

Handy gadget - always keep it in the gig toolbox

Peter A. 333 01.10.2013

A really neat gadget for identifying mic lines, testing cables and of course providing a source of pink noise for basic system setting up.

I've not used it for the latter, but have found it of most use for when there's an error in the stagebox plugging list, and something's either not working or not appearing where it's supposed to. Simply plug this thing in on intermittent, and look for the ticking using the PFL buttons. Nicely made and weighty too.

Imprecise, but it works

Anonymous 27.02.2023

As a basic cable tester, the Pink Stick is a great purchase. The build quality is stellar, though I was a bit concerned about the pladtic knob on top.

Unfortunately it is not to be considered a measurement device of any kind. The 1 kHz tone is more like 1.1 kHz, and there is considerable distortion.

I was hoping to use it to help take some measurements but it's just not precise enough for that purpose.

Very handy little gadget

Anonymous 07.05.2014

There are a number of variants of such devices on the market, but not many. I spotted this one and was sold on the fact that it can produce, pink noise, 1kHz signal and produce a pulse. For the money it works well. Build wise it seems sturdy enough, although the plastic switch (at the end) doesn't fill me with complete confidence over it's durability for the future. We will see.

Superlux Pink Stick

Robert814 31.08.2014

A Mighty Waterfall in a tiny bottle ! - (Well how else can you describe pink noise?). This is a well designed and comfortably easy to use generator with the added bonus of 1kHz audio and pulse. and is a great testing tool. It's been many years since I last bought one of these and the last one needed batteries! - Phantom powering is the obvious way to go. Well dear boy, by the way, which one IS Pink?

Its not Pink, or a Stick

Jonathan840 21.09.2013

This is the MOST indispensable tool I have ever purchased, used all the time for the last three years, and owned and used by a lot of people I know and work with, and not one has failed, or had any problems.

Bomb proof, reliable, amazing value for money, and an essential purchase for anyone with more than a couple of cables
