Korg - MA2-BLBK LCD Pocket Digital Metronome - Black & Blue

If you don'y like teh sound - put tape over teh speaker hole! Several low star reviews complain about the very high pitched metronome sound. I agree. It set my hearing aids squealing and my wife was complaining several rooms away. There is a simple solution. Stick a piece of electrical insutation tape or even sellotape, over the speaker hole on the front (see picture). It gets rid of the annoying higher frequency sounds, but you can still hear the clicks clearly. It makes the metronome far more pleasant to use.

It's a nice size, not too small so as to be awkward to use and seems well made. It could do with a light so as to make it more visual, maybe for use in a pit or onstage, and certainly for practising if you wanted to turn the sound down. And that leads me to the volume - it could be louder. It will do for me whilst practising on my drum pad, but anything else? not really. Sort those things out and they'd have a winner.

As a guitar player I needed a metronome for practise and helping me with rhythm exercises etc. This little thing has exceeded my expectations and is exactly what I was looking for and more, given its note value and rhythmic customisations. While it can feel a little flimsy being plastic, and the batteries are somewhat tedious to get to, for the price it is no issue at all! The sound is very high and piercing, which I thought would annoy me, however is actually perfect for cutting through my playing as I practice!

Item has a huge battery life, is portable and does the job very well. It is lightweight, accurate and a surefire tool to improve as a musician and gain proficiency in a faster time as well as accuracy and clearly display technique limitions. Its a best seller for good reason. Fast delivery and great price. I should of bought one earlier than I have - don't hesitate. I shall be using this often.

Useful.

This gadget is a handy size for carrying round to rehearsals. Fairly easy to use after a quick practice, good sound with control over the volume from a side wheel. Rather a harsh 'click' for the beat but can be easily heard if there are a few players. Took a while to figure out how to slide the back off to install the two batteries that came in the box! A lot more portable and user friendly than my old traditional metronome. A usefull function is the 'tap' button which means you can listen to a piece of music and tap in its speed before playing same piece yourself. Can't do that with traditional metronomes!

The Korg MA-2 is an outstanding pick for any instrumentalist or vocalist in need of reliable tempo support. The clear, backlit LCD display makes it easy to adjust BPM—ranging from pencil‑slow to blazing fast—while onboard rhythms and tuning functions add real versatility. Its ultra‑portable design (fits in your pocket!) and long battery life mean it’s always ready when practice strikes. I also appreciate the adjustable volume and headphone jack, which allow discreet, external listening. As a tool for building better timing and staying in rhythm, this little powerhouse delivers — highly recommended!

Hole on the case is just that - does not have a flashing light as it should! That's a real shame as would be a better visual cue than onscreen, especially when you're reading a music score. Very poor instruction manual, will have to check Youtube for how to properly use it.

non è ecnomico ma è migliore dopo tante cadute funziona ancora dopo 2 anni

Este es mi tercer metrónomo, y es el que más me ha gustado hasta ahorita. Sus funciones te permiten practicar a diferentes tiempos.

Produto muito bom, marcação do tempo com precisão. recomendo!

Works fine. Battery lasts long. Full volume is quite loud. Handy stuff.
