Engineered and manufactured in the U.K., this tester represents a new standard in valve testing technology, offering a comprehensive suite of tests in a portable and stylish unit. Whether you're a seasoned audiophile, a service professional or a musician who wants to keep their amp in top shape, the Valve Tester MKII makes it easy to assess the condition of your valves and ensure optimal performance.
Comprehensive Testing Made Easy
The Valve Tester MKII performs a wide range of tests, including static and dynamic tests, grid leakage detection, thermal runaway testing and even a digital microphony function for preamp valves. Despite its advanced capabilities, the tester is incredibly easy to use. Simply insert a valve, select the valve type from the extensive onboard database, and press the OK button. The tester will quickly and accurately assess the valve's condition, providing clear and concise results via its "Good", "Worn" or "Fail" indicators.
New and Improved for Enhanced Accuracy
This latest model of the Orange Valve Tester boasts improved algorithms and an updated database containing test results from hundreds of new, used and faulty valves. This gives the MKII a much greater intelligence compared to the original Orange VT1000. All voltages required by the tester are internally derived, stabilized and controlled, allowing for rapid testing without unnecessary heat generation.
Versatile and Expandable
The Valve Tester MKII is compatible with a wide range of valves, including popular octal and noval preamplifier types, as well as power tubes like EL34, KT88, 6L6 and more. For even greater versatility, optional expansion modules allow testing of directly heated valves such as the 300B, as well as other types including EF86, EZ80, 6SN7 and rectifier valves like the GZ34.
Designed for Professionals and Enthusiasts Alike
The Orange Valve Tester MKII caters to both professionals and enthusiasts. Its portable design allows for easy transport between studios or workshops, while optional brackets enable you to securely mount the tester on your workbench. Whether you're a seasoned technician or a passionate audiophile, the Valve Tester MKII is an essential tool for maintaining and optimizing the performance of your valve amplifiers.
