AW-1 Acoustic Wind Tuner from Korg
 January 19, 2004
Korg introduced the AW-1 Acoustic Wind Tuner at the Winter NAMM show. The compact, lightweight AW-1 provides quick, accurate, auto-chromatic tuning of traditional band and orchestra instruments, as well as acoustic guitar and bass.
The AW-1 offers a wide tuning range (A0-C8), with support for 12 equal temperaments. It also provides a wide calibration adjustment of 410-480 Hz, as well as an easy-to-read, accurate display denoting both cents and marked indicators for major and minor third tuning.
Players can use the internal mic or the included piezo pickup mic for picking up direct vibration from an instrument. They can also select from two mounting clips (large and small) for attachment to a variety of instrument types. In addition, the AW-1 can be easily mounted to a mic or music stand.
The AW-1 is equipped with a S Meter Reverse Function that enables the user to select whether the LCD pitch display indicates high to low readings from left to right, or in the opposite direction, facilitating flexible positioning of the tuner. This increases the tuner's versatility and enables it to adapt to a variety of instruments and players.
The AW-1 Acoustic Wind tuner comes with a carrying case and mounting clips, and runs on a standard lithium battery. Auto Power Off and a Memory Backup Function are also provided.
