Korg CM-100L Clip-On Piezo Contact Tuner Microphone

Ensure pinpoint tuning accuracy in any environment with the KORG CM-100L Contact Microphone. Designed for musicians who perform in high-noise venues—such as brass bands, busy rehearsal rooms, or live stages—this piezo-style clip-on mic captures the physical vibrations of your instrument directly. By bypassing ambient stage noise, it delivers a clean, high-sensitivity signal to your tuner, ensuring that your intonation is perfect every time, even when other instruments are playing around you.

Direct Vibration Pickup for Maximum Precision

Standard tuners relying on built-in microphones often struggle to "lock" onto a note when there is background music, chatter, or stage noise present. The CM-100L solves this by utilizing a high-performance piezoelectric element. By clipping the microphone onto the bell of a brass instrument, the bridge of a violin, or the headstock of a guitar, the device detects the specific vibrations of your instrument's body, effectively isolating your sound from the rest of the room.

This direct signal path is not only more accurate but also faster, allowing your tuner to detect the pitch and display it on the screen with minimal latency. It is an indispensable accessory for students and professionals alike, providing a consistent, reliable "tuning bridge" between your instrument and your favorite Korg tuner.

Rugged Versatility and Wide Compatibility

The CM-100L features a versatile, spring-loaded clip designed to attach securely to a variety of orchestral and fretted instruments without damaging the finish. The cable is designed for ease of use, allowing you to position your tuner for optimal visibility while keeping the microphone perfectly placed on your instrument. With its standard 1/4-inch (6.3mm) male phone connector, it is compatible with virtually all Korg tuners and metronome/tuner combos that feature an audio input jack.

Whether you are tuning an acoustic guitar, a delicate orchestral instrument, or a loud brass piece, the CM-100L offers the reliable, interference-free performance required for professional practice and performance.
