Korg DTR-1000 Rackmount Digital Tuner

The KORG DTR-1000 Chromatic Rackmount Tuner is a classic, professional-grade solution for guitarists and bassists who demand the ultimate in tuning precision and stage visibility. Engineered for seamless integration into 19-inch racks, this tuner provides a massive, high-contrast LED meter that allows for accurate pitch tracking from across a stage or studio. With its proprietary pitch-detection circuitry, the DTR-1000 locks onto your instrument’s fundamental frequency instantly, ignoring unwanted harmonics and providing a stable, jitter-free reading even in high-volume environments.

Pro-Level Precision and Flexible Tuning Modes

Whether you are in a recording session or performing live, the DTR-1000 offers professional tools to manage any tuning requirement. It features two primary display modes—Cents or Strobe—giving you the choice between intuitive, needle-style pitch tracking or the ultra-precise visual feedback of a traditional strobe tuner. For musicians using drop-tunings or lower-register instruments, the DTR-1000 supports up to seven-semitone flat tuning, ensuring your instrument remains perfectly intonated regardless of your creative setup.

The unit is designed for stage efficiency, featuring both front and rear panel inputs for flexible rack cable management. A dedicated Mute function—which can be controlled via an external footswitch—allows for completely silent tuning between songs, ensuring your live performance remains clean and professional. The adjustable calibration range (438–455 Hz) also ensures that you can sync your instrument's pitch with other band members or historical recording standards with absolute ease.

Durable Design and Seamless Rig Integration

Housed in a sturdy, 1U single-rack-space metal chassis, the DTR-1000 is built to withstand the rigors of touring. It requires no bulky external power adapters, as it features a standard internal power supply, making it a reliable, long-term addition to any professional pedalboard or amp rack. Its straightforward, "set-and-forget" interface is highly favored by guitar techs and session engineers who need gear that performs consistently under pressure.
