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 marks for pure major
thirds and minor thirds, 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.
