Product Description

Ultra-compact, LCD Needle-Style Chromatic Tuners
High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg tuners the worldwide favorite. And now, the new CA-30 joins the best-selling CA Series of tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and quinta-flat tuning, the CA-30 packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into ultra-compact bodies.

Features
Compact chromatic tuner, ideal for brass band or orchestra

High-precision LCD needle-type meter for stable tuning

Wide range of pitch detection covers C1--C8

Calibration function supports a variety of concert pitches

Sound Out produces a reference tone from the internal speaker

Auto Power Off function conserves battery life

Memory Backup function

Approximately 100 hours of continuous use

Wide Range of Pitch Detection
This compact chromatic tuner supports a broad range of C1 (32.70 Hz)--C8 (4186.01 Hz), allowing speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments. This tuner is ideal for tuning even low-register notes containing numerous overtones that are often difficult to tune. A high-sensitivity mic is built-in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic instruments such as ukuleles. A separately sold CM-100 contact mic can also be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even more accurate tuning.

Ultra-compact Body with a "Tilt Slit"
Although the CA-30 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The CA-30 packs the functionality needed for tuning a wide range of instruments. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped "tilt slit" that lets you insert a plastic card for use as a handy stand.

High-Precision LCD Meter
The meter section uses a LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.

Sound Out--Internal Speaker Provides a Reference Pitch
In addition to visual tuning via meter, the CA-30 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle through the A4--Bb4 notes commonly used for tuning wind instruments. Or you can hold down the Sound switch to change the cycle to the semitone intervals from C4 through C5 (one octave), allowing reference pitches for any instrument to be sounded quickly.

Calibration Function
The Calibration function (410--480 Hz) supports a wide range of standard pitches, and can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps for accurate and flexible tuning to any song or key. Thanks to the Memory Backup function, the Calibration and reference pitch are remembered even when the power is turned off. (However, these settings will be initialized when the batteries are replaced.)

Auto Power Off Function
If you leave the unit powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, the Auto Power Off function will turn the power off automatically, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.

Approximately 100 hours of Continuous Use
Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

* Even if the pitch is within the detection range, detection may not be possible for instrumental sounds that contain a large number of overtones or have a rapid decay. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Korg products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (211 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Great for the price. It works."
Sound: I use it as an input device. Feature: It can be used to tune any instrument. Quality: The quality is adequate for the price. Value: This is a great product for the price. Overall: It is chromatic. It generates one full scale of tones and senses a large range of frequencies. It automatically tells you what note is being played and it tells you how accurate it is. It is easy to tune a guitar. I personally wanted the chromatic version so I could make sure the guitar nut was positioned the right distance from the first fret. It also works fine to tune the guitar string length for guitars with that adjustment.
Style of Music: Chet Atkins style
