Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner

The Korg CA-30 is a top-selling chromatic tuner that boasts high accuracy and a wealth of features. This versatile device caters to a wide range of instruments, from electric and acoustic guitars to 6-string basses and orchestral instruments. Korg's renowned tuners have become the worldwide favorite due to their high accuracy and superb functionality.

The new Korg CA-30 joins the best-selling CA series, offering even more features such as a pitch reference tone and marks for pure major and minor thirds. This compact chromatic tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into an ultra-compact body, providing plenty of features and functionality in a small package.

The CA-30's high-precision LCD meter and LEDs accurately indicate pitch deviation, while the built-in speaker allows for reference pitches to be played. This chromatic tuner supports a broad range of pitch detection, from C1 (32.70 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz), enabling speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments.

The compact and lightweight design of the CA-30 belies its impressive capabilities. Despite its pocket-sized body, this chromatic tuner packs the functionality needed for tuning a wide range of instruments, from the studio to the stage. The unique "tilt slit" on the back of the unit allows you to easily use a plastic card as a handy stand.

The CA-30's high-precision LCD meter combines the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is offered by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation, ensuring accurate tuning.

In addition to visual tuning, the Korg CA-30 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch cycles through the A4-Bb4 notes, commonly used for tuning wind instruments. Alternatively, you can hold down the Sound switch to change the cycle to the semitone intervals from C4 through C5, allowing reference pitches for any instrument to be sounded quickly.

The Calibration function (410-480 Hz) of this chromatic tuner supports a wide range of standard pitches and can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps, ensuring accurate and flexible tuning to any song or key. The Memory Backup function retains the Calibration and reference pitch settings even when the power is turned off, though these will be initialized when the batteries are replaced.

For enhanced convenience, the CA-30 features an Auto Power Off function that turns the unit off automatically if left powered-on for 20 minutes without any operation, preventing unnecessary battery consumption. Additionally, the low-power consumption design allows for an impressive 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg USA authorized dealer now have a three-year warranty, providing peace of mind for users.

In summary, the Korg CA-30 is a compact chromatic tuner that delivers high accuracy, a wide range of pitch detection, and a wealth of convenient features, making it an ideal choice for brass bands, orchestras, and musicians of all kinds.
