Korg CA-2 Chromatic Tuner Korg

Korg CA-2 Chromatic Tuner

The proven choice for any instrumentalist, the affordable CA-2 Chromatic Tuner is packed with features missing from other low-cost chromatic tuners. Pure Major and Minor Third indicators benefit any ensemble player. Auto Power Off preserves battery life.

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 orchestral 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-200 contact mic can also be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even more accurate tuning.

High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg tuners the worldwide favorite. And now, the new CA-2 joins the best-selling CA series of band tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and marks for pure major thirds and minor thirds, the CA-2 Chromatic Tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into an ultra-compact body.

In addition to visual tuning via meter, the CA-2 band and orchestra tuner 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.

The power will turn off automatically, if the unit is left powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption. 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.

The meter section uses an 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.
