    KORG MA-30 METRONOME - Wish it was louder

    Korg MA-30Published on 08/06/12 at 22:01
    Ok so what can you say about a Metronome, it should keep time and have a good range of speeds, this one does that from 40 to 208BPM. Instruction manual is very good and explains the features in enough detail to understand. It looks good and appears to be built pretty well for what it is. It also has a beat tap feature to get the tempo just where you want it to be. It also has a sound calibration button to choose from 12 different pitches. Comes with earphone jack, memory backup and the big one for me, adjustable volume. 250 hour battery life as well which is fantastic. That is all fine and dandy except for one big problem...it isn't loud enough, even with headphones. I bought this fo…

    Ok so what can you say about a Metronome, it should keep time and have a good range of speeds, this one does that from 40 to 208BPM.

That is all fine and dandy except for one big problem...it isn't loud enough, even with headphones. I bought this for my son to use with his drums and he can't hear the darn thing loud enough to use it for drums. For the sake of being fair, I think it serves guitar players very well and is loud enough for that purpose. It seems to be a nice metronome and I have used it for my guitar playing but I wish it was louder and I could appreciate all of the great features I mentioned above for my son's drum lessons. Also to be fair, this was suggested by my son's Berkley educated drum teacher so maybe we are doing something wrong. I just have to believe there is something better out there that maybe has it's own amplifier and can put out a louder tone. I have to conclude that this is probably ok for some people but we have just found it to be inadequate for our purpose. I have not tried any others as of yet but I have to say I will need to in the near future. Can't really give this high marks based on the volume.

    Practical and comprehensive

    Many time signatures, volume control, headphone output, tap tempo, a brief comprehensive model.
    Its ultra-compact and battery consumption are almost no two arguments of choice for use.
    A purchase with your eyes closed especially at this price.

    I have since I play music (specifically guitar), still used a mechanical metronome type MATRIX. When the latter decided to make the soul (reason unexplained), I started searching the metronome of the twenty-first century, that is to say something that would be flexible, practical, precise and the latest technologies. This metronome, I found the Korg MA-30.

    -Volume control (very handy under the terms sound) with headphones.

    A-LCD display with a visual indication of the movement of ancient metronomes. More intuitive than a vulgar diode when used without her.

    One-eighth division of the tempo, double etc. ... very useful for beginners.

    One-eighth division of the tempo, double etc. ... very useful for beginners.

    A pitch-which not only provide just the A 440, since all the notes are selected, so can act as tuning the ear to forget the automatic tuner.

    A-Tap Tempo function Extremely useful for identifying the tempo of a song in seconds.
    A-format "credit card" that will fit nicely anywhere.

    For 30, there is therefore little wonder. A little more expensive than a conventional metronome, but so much better.
    Investment sr to play as precise as a groovebox!

    Report quality price: unbeatable! 200 balls for a mtronome can REPRESENTATIVES much, but when you end up with such essential tool in hand, we see quickly that it is an investment ncessaire. I would do the same choices with eyes closed.

    It's an ISAF years I AIS and is not to say there is no better on the market either at the metronome-type credit card or mechanical one is perfect, easy to grip, he all necessary functions, a headphone jack, a system to find the tempo, just short of good.
    In addition it is solid trs (eh leader who steals my metronome bin ...).
    I would put 9 because when I was a lil but really any small defect: ca Beach beat is a bit too short from 40 to 208 if he could go up to 250 this would be good.
    30 For the price there is no better.

    I have been using ending for one year. It is blue plastic, it beats the time and position (you can change the format of the measures and the tempo, what is more normal for a mtronome) it has a headphone output that allows you to walk by listening to the tic tic tic tac or the bus to pass the time. It can also make sounds to grant a guitar "ear" more easily. It features an LCD display.
    In short, it is very well and not too expensive, the only snag is the sound quite as nerve trs strident (even if the volume is adjustable HP)

    only problem as a zip says the penguin's tone is strident even in a headphone with my custom plugs sometimes has me so stressed out for those like me who suffers from a hyper lgre acoustic Pitet not be s 'use it with headphones.

    I just bought ...
    Its design is very simple and convenient with its elongated format.
    A model.
    Good quality price, for 30 Euros more than dir.
    Yes as it has all the basic functions demand for the instrument that I know plays the guitar.

    I have the metronome for a year.
    Allows plenty of options while
    remains simple. For the person who
    want to keep the tempo without leaving his savings
    it is the right purchase. The "TAP IN" is very interested.

    I would put 9 / 10 as optional headset
    is not that great

    It is my fourth metronome (built-in amplifier, PC, Smartphone)

    What I like most is its size and how you play and t'allumes.

    Good quality / price ratio as it did a lot of different signatures.

    Yes I would buy the same experience with

    Do not buy

    I use it for 1 month

    The big worry is that the rotary volume, acting as a switch, all or nothing. Not very practical.

    Other concerns, the headphone output is mono, so when you connect stereo headphones (this is most common) the sound coming from one side of the headphone.

    The headphone volume is not huge either.

    I do not do it again this election.
