KORG EXHIBITS SECOND GENERATION EAR METRONOME
NAMM SUMMER SESSION, NASHVILLE, TN, July 23, 2004 — Korg, the industry leader in metronome and tuner technology, displays the MM-2 MetroGnome. Based on the MM-1 — the world’s smallest metronome — the MM-2 offers all the features of its predecessor, plus improved comfort and sound quality.Lightweight and unobtrusive, the MM-2 has a full-size wrap around piece that gently hooks over the ear, and a compact body with padded speaker that rests against the earlobe. A piezo electric speaker with volume control offers enhanced amplification. It has 39 selectable tempo steps in a range from 40-208 BPM, as well as selectable time signatures (from 1/4 through 7/4), plus 8th notes, triplets and 16th notes.
The streamlined MM-2 comes with two interchangeable color faceplates (black, silver), and two different ear clips for a more comfortable fit. It is powered by a 3V Lithium battery.
The micro metronome was created for musicians practicing in high volume situations. Because of its proximity to the ear, it can always be heard. It eliminates straining to hear a “traditional” metronome, or the use of headphones, whose additional cables interfere with freedom of movement.
The MM-2 is currently available with a US MSRP of $35.
