Product Overview
The MA-2 is a compact card-type electronic metronome designed for orchestral instruments and rhythm training. It offers a wide tempo range, multiple beat and rhythm patterns, and an improved display that is 30% larger than the previous model for better visibility. The display includes a digital needle that moves left and right to visually indicate the beat, along with a triangular icon showing beat position and measure change timing.
The metronome includes a newly designed electronic buzzer with enhanced volume and crisp sound that is audible even alongside high-volume instruments. It features a folding stand for independent positioning, a sliding battery cover that is integrated with the main unit to prevent loss, and up to 400 hours of continuous use with alkaline batteries. The Auto Power-Off function turns the power off after 20 minutes of the metronome being stopped. Two color schemes are available: blue and black (MA-2-BLBK) and black and red (MA-2-BKRD).
