Product Description
Korg
Korg’s CA40 offers a detection range that's wider than ever. The Korg CA40 Digital Chromatic Tuner has an ultra large LCD screen providing excellent visibility and an adjustable calibration range (410-480Hz). Perfect for all types of instruments. Alternatively, you can use the separately sold CM-100 contact microphone to send the vibration of the instrument directly to the tuner, so that you can tune accurately without worrying about other sounds in the environment. An output jack (bypass) has been added, making it easy to check the tuning even while you perform. You can use the built-in high-sensitivity microphone to detect the pitch of an acoustic instrument without requiring any other equipment.
Product Overview and Specifications
The Korg CA-40 Electronic Chromatic Tuner is equipped with an output jack so you can stay plugged. An extra-large LCD screen gives you excellent visibility. Adjustable calibration range (410-480Hz). Tunes 6- and 7-string guitars and 4-, 5-, and 6-string basses. Pure major/minor 3rd pitch indication marks. "Quinta" flat tuning lets you tune down as much as 5 semitones. Features reference tone, mic, speaker, and folding stand. Auto power off and memory backup. Batteries included.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.Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg USA authorized dealer now have a three year warranty.

When I needed another tuner, I chose the Korg CA-40 Chromatic Tuner due to its small size and large LCD display. It's extremely accurate, and can detect a wide range of frequencies. This little gem easily fits in my case, and is super-handy. Its 1/4" input and output could even allow me to attach it to my pedalboard, so it's also quite versatile. The tilt-back stand feature on the back of the CA-40 is also very cool. I highly recommend this tuner, and might have to pick up a couple more!
