If you would like us to give you a call, please reply with your phone number and the best time to call. If you would like to discuss this further you can give us a call, or we can call you to save toll charges.

#Turbo strobe tuner generator

You will need an signal generator that has recent calibration and is using at least a TCXO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator) or preferably an OCXO (oven controlled crystal oscillator). 02 cent accuracy, you need to feed a reference signal with known accuracy into to the tuner and watch for rotation in the display.

#Turbo strobe tuner manual

I don't know if you received a manual with your tuner, but you can download it here: The tuner should display L# for a few seconds while it reloads all the default tunings and temperaments an resets the A4 reference. Hold down both MODE buttons and keep them held down while you turn the tuner ON - OFF - ON, then release the MODE buttons.ģ.

To do a full factory reset do the following:Ģ. When A4 is set to anything other than 440 Hz, the A4 LED will be illuminated. You can tell this by the A4 LED on the face of the tuner. It is possible that the previous owner set the A4 reference to something other than 440 Hz. The only way it could not be within ±.02 cents is if it suffered physical damage. We achieve this level of accuracy by using crystals that are custom made to our specifications. The ±.02 cent value takes into account the drift with component aging, so 20 years from now the tuner will still be within. It is virtually impossible for the A440 to drift out of specs over time.Įach Turbo Tuner is individually calibrated at the factory to an accuracy of ☑ppm, which is about. After spending a bit of time with it, I actually think it might be showing up the other tuners inadequacies now!! I.E: the Turbo Tuner is a true strobe tuner & has an accuracy of +/- 0.02 cents, whereas the Boss TU12 is about +/- 0.1cent.Īctually, JUST got an email back from Sonic Research!! VERY interesting. Gives 12 Hour continuous operation with alkaline battery.Ha, yeah, I did. Power Supply 9 Volt Alkaline Battery(included), or external 9 Volt DC adapter (optional). Jacks Input, Output (1/4') external 9 VDC, parallel 9 VDC Reference Pitch A4 = 300.0 Hz to 599.9 Hz in. Output muted when tuner is on.Ĭan also be configured to pass the signal through while tuning. Weight 246 g / 8.7 oz (including battery) Other LED tuners have a ‘strobe mode’ that emulates the appearance of a strobe. Other companies, such as Sonic Research, TC Electronic, and Planet Waves, sell highly accurate LED-based true strobe tuners. Any 9 Volt adapter designed for stomp boxes will work fine.ĭimensions 4.4' (11.2cm) x 2.4' (6.1cm) x 1.4' (3.4cm) HxWxD The best known brand in strobe tuner technology is Peterson Tuners who in 1967 marketed their first strobe tuner, the Model 400. The Turbo Tuner ST-300 Mini operates from an external 9 Volt adaptor. The ST-300 can store a total of 5 different temperaments, in addition to the equal temperament. The ST-300 can operate in the equal temperament or any 12 note temperament the user desires. A strobe tuner works by comparing the frequency of the note being tuned to a reference frequency. 1Hz, over the range of 300.0 Hz to 599.9 Hz. The Turbo Tuner is a musical instrument tuner with the precision and features of the best strobe tuners, in a compact size at an affordable price. No battery is necessary.īy default, the tuner uses A4=440Hz as the reference pitch. The ST-300 remembers the settings for mode, drop tuning and A4 changes. The tuner comes with a number of pre-defined tunings for stringed instruments. In this mode the tuner only recognises notes that are defined for the specified tuning. Permits tuning to any of the 12 notes from C0 to C8, in any temperament. The internal timing generator is calibrated at the factory to maintain a precision of ±.02 cents. It is completely disconnected from all internal circuitry and the tuner puts zero load on the signal. The output of the ST-300 is muted when the tuner is on, and when off the input signal is passed directly to the output. This gives zero latency and instantly shows the slightest tuning error. The ring of LEDs is a true stroboscope, driven directly by the analog input signal and a precision internal frequency reference. Easy to read display instantly shows the slightest difference in pitch of the note played from the indicated note.
