Korg KDM-2 True Tone Advanced Digital Metronome
Category: korg metronome
The Korg KDM-2 is a versatile and user-friendly electric metronome that delivers remarkable accuracy and powerful sound. Featuring a large, easy-to-see LED display, this metronome visually marks the tempo with precision, making it an ideal tool for musicians and performers.
Equipped with an encoder-type TEMPO/CALIB dial and a Step Select switch, the KDM-2 provides quick and direct access to a wide range of settings and functions. With its Tap Tempo control, musicians can easily set the desired tempo by simply pressing the TAP switch at the preferred interval.
The Korg KDM-2 offers a remarkable sound quality, thanks to its original cylindrical resonator design. This innovative feature enhances the overall tone and ensures the metronome's sound is clearly audible, even in the presence of loud instruments.
Versatility is a key strength of the KDM-2, as it offers a choice of three different PCM sounds (cowbell, agogo, and clave) for the beat, allowing users to select the most suitable option for their instrument or musical style. The volume can also be adjusted to the most appropriate level, ensuring the metronome seamlessly integrates with the performance.
For private practice, the KDM-2 features a built-in PHONE jack, enabling users to connect a mini-plug (1/8") earphone, ensuring a focused and undisturbed practice session.
The metronome's START/STOP switch on the top panel blinks in two colors (red and green), providing a clear visual indication of the tempo, making it a valuable tool for musicians who prefer a silent metronome during their practice.
The KDM-2 covers a wide range of rhythmic patterns, from basic beats to more sophisticated variations like son clave and rumba clave, with a total of 19 beat patterns available. Users can adjust the tempo in three different ways: Full Step mode, Pendulum Step mode, and Tap Tempo.
In addition to its metronome functions, the KDM-2 also offers a Sound Out mode, which outputs a reference tone that can be used as a tuning guide. Users can select from any one of the twelve pitches from C4 to B4, and they can also adjust the A4 frequency (calibration) within a broad range of 410 Hz to 480 Hz.
Designed for stability and ease of use, the KDM-2 features a large LCD screen that makes it easy to view the settings. The compact and sturdy design of the metronome allows it to be placed on a desk, piano, or any other surface, ensuring a stable and reliable performance.
The Korg KDM-2 is also designed for long battery life, with the metronome capable of marking an accurate tempo for approximately 120 hours of continuous use at a tempo of 120 beats per minute. Additionally, Korg digital and electric metronomes purchased from an authorized dealer now come with a three-year warranty, providing users with peace of mind and a reliable product.
