I just bought the Fluke 376 clamp meter, when I use continuity, the volume of the sound it makes seems really low, I saw a youtube video, sounded low.

I have had two of these meters, and yes the sound for continuity is very quiet

The one I have does have a delay when I measure continuity. It doesn't have a delay when I measure voltage.

I would look on youtube for videos of ppl using it. You'll hear the compressor. Here's a link http://youtu.be/rBPL0AORrvY?t=20m27s that's what it sounds like when I use it.

This meter only goes down to 1/10th (0.1) ohms. For most applications you'd never need greater resolution than that. Even your more expensive Fluke meters generally only measure to 0.1 ohms. You'd need a special meter to measure very low resistances. However, there are ways of measuring low resistance with a standard multimeter. You can try something like this: http://www.robotroom.com/Measuring-Low-Resistances.html

I own a Fluke 112 True RMS Multimeter that can measure capacitance. I compared measurements on my Fluke and the Honeytek on ten different value/type capacitors. The Fluke gave reading that were consistent with value of the capacitors measured whereas the Honeytek gave erratic readings, some as much as 20% off the stated value. I gave the Honeytek away. If you do not care about accuracy or quality of your test instruments, buy the Honeytek.

I tried to modify my AZden SGM-2X in an attempt to modify it for a special use and destroyed it. The wires inside are extremely tiny and I can see no way to repair it. Anyway, the few times I used the mic before destroying it I wasn't impressed with its abilities. I too was trying to use it inside. I wish I had at least tried it outside listening to birds or something. Sorry, I am no help.

Mine worked fine right out of the box. In fact, I bought it to review it's performance. My review is here: http://publiclab.org/wiki/instrument-review-inexpensive-digital-balances. Sorry that yours is not working to spec.

Check your LOC unit and make sure its connected and setup correctly. Everything on your amp should not be turned up. Put the low pass to the mid point, "mode" set to low pass, sensitivity might be 100mv-2v(check on the loc), and the level should be at the mid-point at most. Also make sure your subs are wired and connected correctly, for the appropriate power. You may want to Contact a local shop for further troubleshooting.

Thank you! I finally solved the hum problem by plugging the iMic into "Line Out" on my amplifier instead of directly into my turntable. The hum disappeared! Hope you got your hum solved, too.Maria

I've had two that I ordered recently and neither of them sounded like they had loose parts. Both have worked flawlessly. I'd send it back for a new one.

You will want to check the amplifier settings to correct the issue you are having. The gauge of the wire is a non-factor.

I tried the Clear Sounds CLA7-V2 and sent it back. I didn't find that it worked as adverstied.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

The meter was stuck in the red zone for me only when using the XLR output. I discovered that the problem only exists when plugging directly into my amplifiers and not my mixer. I noticed that the amplifier specs explained that those channels put 15V of power thru those XLR channels to power condenser microphones, if need be. When I plugged the Art Tube MP into my Tapco mixer, I had normal readings on the meter, so I'm guessing the phantom power might be the cause of my problems.... just a thought.

Why would you bother? Impedance changes, XLR versus mini line level changes, more possibilities for bad mechanical connection. Consider borrowing a digital recorder with XLR input, if the microphone is important for the application. If this is your only available recorder (and it's a good one), then prepare to deal with noise or dropouts.

My advice is ring Fluke, if not, carry out your own question & see what happens, do what you're asking & the meter might likely go to some setting & never work again. My advice, don't play with things you know nothing about. CG

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.
