General

Korg's CA-50 chromatic tuner is the successor to the renowned CA-40. Just like its predecessor, this tuner is designed for accurately tuning just about any orchestral instrument you can think of, but now it's even better. The clip is more secure than ever before, the display is easier to read and the tuner now lasts even longer on two AAA batteries. The battery cover is no longer removable either, making it impossible to lose. The CA-50 can detect notes via its built-in microphone or via the jack input if you're tuning an instrument you can plug in. Alternatively, you can also plug the separately available CM-200 contact microphone into this socket.

Easily the best chromatic tuner I have used with my 36 string autoharp. Quick and easy with a clear display. Also benefits from being freestanding rather than clip on. Inbuilt microphone or corded connection equally good.

Fijn dat het product op voorraad was. Het bestellen en de bezorging verliep vlot. De tuner zelf werkt heel makkelijk. Ik heb hem getest met testtonen via mijn DAW en hij is erg nauwkeurig. Erg handig dat hij via leds aangeeft of je scherp of plat speelt, zeker voor als je minder licht hebt.

Ik hoop er lang plezier van te hebben. Aanbevolen!

Compact et précis. Accordage via micro incorporé ou jack direct.

Permet un accordage avec un large éventail de fréquence. J en ai besoin pour un accordage en 432hz personnellement c est parfait.

Mes autres pédales s arretent au 435hz.
