Korg CA-50 - Chromatic Tuner

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>KORG's CA-50 </strong>portable and pocket-sized <strong>chromatic tuner</strong> is the ideal solution for checking the intonation of all orchestral instruments. Easy and intuitive to use, it boasts high-precision functions with a large display visible in all operating conditions, a slim and compact design, and a long operating battery life.</h1><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Key Features</b></h3><ul style="margin-left: 17px;">    <li>Even more readable display, with larger note name indication</li>    <li>Wide frequency detection range allows tuning of any instrument</li>    <li>Calibration function</li>    <li>"Pure" major and minor third interval indicators</li>    <li>"Sound Out" mode ideal for practice</li>    <li>Increased battery life</li>    <li>Easier use of the instrument on a music stand</li>    <li>Memory Backup and Auto Power-Off functions</li>    <li>Sleek body design</li></ul><hr /><h3><strong>Even more readable display, with larger note name indications</strong></h3><p>The <strong>CA-50's</strong> LCD screen features a "virtual needle" indicator for quick and accurate pitch display, while the detected note name is shown in the center of the display itself. The note names displayed are now larger and easier to read. This ensures simple and linear operations, ideal even for beginners.</p><p><img alt="" src="/img/media/images/html/Display_75b2.jpg" /></p><h3><strong>Wide frequency detection range, supports tuning of any instrument</strong></h3><p>The CA-50 has a frequency detection range from A0 (27.50 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz). This wide range allows tuning almost all instruments, such as wind instruments: from piccolo to tuba, strings from violin to double bass, etc., both in a band and in an orchestra.<br />The frequency is detected quickly and accurately by the built-in high-sensitivity microphone, but for an even greater degree of precision, a dedicated CM200 contact microphone (optional accessory) can be connected, which sends the instrument's vibrations directly to the tuner, without being influenced by the surrounding environment.</p><h3><strong>Calibration function</strong></h3><p>The calibration function supports a wide range of standard reference frequencies (pitch), adjustable from 410 to 480 Hz, in 1 Hz steps. This ensures precise and versatile tuning for pieces of any style or key.</p><h3><strong>"Pure" Major and Minor Third Interval Indicators</strong></h3><p>The CA-50's measurement scale has special "Markers" that indicate "pure" major or minor third intervals. These indicators are a great help for the intonation of wind instrument groups, or for "a cappella" choirs, to achieve consistently precise harmonic results.<em>&nbsp;</em>When intonating a "pure" major or minor third interval, the specific note to be intoned depends on the type of music being performed.</p><p><img alt="" src="/img/media/images/html/Terze pure_c615.jpg" /></p><h3><strong>"Sound Out" mode ideal for ear training</strong></h3><p>The "Sound Out" mode activates a reference signal from the internal speaker, allowing for tuning by ear. The reference signal has a range from C4 (261.63 Hz) to C5 (523.25 Hz). This allows the instrument to be tuned with acoustic as well as visual aid, for a more accurate final result. This is also a practical way to develop and train individual pitch perception.</p><h3><strong>Significant increase in battery life</strong></h3><p><strong>CA-50</strong> has an operating autonomy of 135 hours (with carbon-zinc batteries). When the batteries are running low, the display shows an appropriate indicator to suggest their replacement.</p><p><img alt="" src="/img/media/images/html/Leggio_e5c4.jpg" /></p><h3><strong>Easier use of the instrument on a music stand</strong></h3><p>A newly designed mechanism reduces the possibility of the unit tipping over, also decreasing the risk of it sliding or falling when placed on a music stand. This allows the musician to concentrate on playing without worrying about the tuner.</p><h3><strong>Memory Backup and Auto Power-Off functions</strong></h3><p>The "Memory Backup" function stores calibration and "Sound Out" mode settings, even after the unit is turned off (these settings are initialized when replacing batteries). Auto Power Off automatically turns off the instrument after 20 minutes of inactivity.</p><h3><strong>Elegant and functional body design</strong></h3><p>The foldable stand provides greater stability to the tuner, while the sliding battery compartment cover is designed as a single piece, integral with the unit itself, thus eliminating the possibility of it being lost when replacing batteries.</p><p><img alt="" src="/img/media/images/html/Coperchio_46a3.jpg" /></p><hr /><h3><strong>KORG CA-50</strong> <strong>TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS</strong></h3><ul>    <li><strong>Scale - </strong>12 note equal temperament</li>    <li><strong>Detection range - </strong>A0 (27.5 Hz) to C8 (4186 Hz): sine wave</li>    <li><strong>Reference signal - </strong>C4 (261.63 Hz) to C5 (523.25 Hz): 1 octave</li>    <li><strong>Tuning modes - </strong>Meter mode, Sound Out mode</li>    <li><strong>Calibration adjustment - </strong>A4 = 410 Hz to 480 Hz (1 Hz steps)</li>    <li><strong>Detection accuracy - </strong>+/- 1 cent</li>    <li><strong>Sound signal accuracy - </strong>+/- 1.5 cent</li>    <li><strong>Connectors - </strong>INPUT jack (1/4" Phone Jack Mono), OUTPUT jack (1/4" Phone Jack Mono)</li>    <li><strong>Internal speaker - </strong>Dynamic Speaker (Φ 21 mm)</li>    <li><strong>Power supply - </strong>2 AAA batteries (3.0 V)</li>    <li><strong>Battery life - </strong>approx. 135 hours (carbon-zinc batteries, Meter mode, continuous A4 input)</li>    <li><strong>Dimensions (W x D x H) - </strong>100 x 67 x 17 mm / 3.94" x 2.64" x 0.67"</li>    <li><strong>Weight - </strong>81 g / 2.86 oz.
