Korg TM60 Combo Tuner and Metronome with Contact Clip-on Microphone

Austin Bazaar offers an instrument bundle that includes all the necessary accessories to start playing immediately. By bundling your instrument with the required elements, the hassle of separately acquiring them is eliminated, and you can save both time and money. Tuning and rhythm training are essential for brass band or orchestral practice, and the Korg TM-60 tuner and metronome provides a comprehensive solution.

The TM-60 features a display that is approximately 1.3 times larger than the previous TM-50 model, allowing for easy viewing even when placed on your music stand. This feature enables you to simultaneously view the tuner and metronome functions, eliminating the need to switch between them. Consequently, you can employ practicing techniques that are idiomatic to orchestral instruments, such as maintaining a consistent pitch over a long note while varying the tone to add vibrato in time with the tempo, or checking the pitch of chords while using the metronome.

The enlarged display of the TM-60 is backlit, and you can adjust the brightness to two levels (soft or auto), ensuring stress-free tuning even in dimly lit environments. The circuitry has been redesigned to achieve a battery life of 130 hours, approximately double the previous TM-50 model's battery life (with the tuner in use and the backlight off). This extended battery life means you can focus on your practice or performance without worrying about the remaining battery life.

The TM-60 operates on a 12-note equal temperament scale and has a detection range of C1 (32.70 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz) with a sine wave input. The reference tone generation range is C3 (130.81 Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz) across three octaves. The tuning modes include meter mode, sound out mode, and sound back mode, and the calibration range is adjustable from A4=410 Hz to 480 Hz in 1 Hz units. The detection and sound accuracy are both better than +/- 1 cent.

The metronome section of the TM-60 offers a tempo range of 30 to 252 quarter notes per minute, with three methods of tempo setting: pendulum step, full step, and tap tempo. The time signature range covers 15 different types, providing versatility for various musical styles and genres.

The Korg TM-60 combines high precision, simultaneous use of a tuner and metronome, and instant pitch detection response, making it a convenient and versatile tool for musicians. With its large, backlit LCD display, adjustable calibration, and marked third intervals, the TM-60 ensures accurate tuning every time, thanks to the included CM-200 clip-on microphone. Additionally, the practical features, such as memory backup, auto shut-off, and long battery life, further enhance the user experience.
