Sabine Releases
a New Line of Tuners: The New ZOID
Clip-ons
Sabine is
introducing a new line of tuners that include the companys ground-breaking
tuner circuit.The new ZOID Tuners are a family of clip-on
tuners designed to quickly clip on to both string and wind instruments.The new ZOID Tuners are chromatic and
automatic, and feature instant note recognition, fast and stable tuning information,
and industry-standard accuracy.
The ZOID Z-1000 is tailored for stringed
instruments, and includes a Flat Tune function to quickly transpose guitars
down from standard tuning. It is great for those dark and heavy Eb and D tunings. Designed to clip on to the headstock of any
stringed instrument, the Z-1000 mounts via a durable clip, and the tuner can be
rotated and swiveled for viewing at a variety of angles.
The ZOID Z-2000 is designed for use with brass
and woodwind instruments, and includes a very handy Transpose function. Players can easily change the note display to
read the proper notes for their instrument. Choose from standard concert C, Bb, Eb, or F. This is a huge advantage for both beginners
and professionals. The Z-2000 can clip
on to the bell or lyre of any wind instrument and the tuner easily swivels to
be viewed at just the right angle. The
ZOID can also be clipped to a music stand.
The bright
and large LCD features a large note name indicator and a meter-style display of
the tuning status. The meter clearly
shows the pitch of the note. Sharp or flat and shows how far away from in-tune
the note is. When the note is sharp or
flat the entire two-color display lights up in bright orange. When the note goes in-tune the display
changes to a bright green.
The ZOIDs
each have two tuning modes. In the Clip Mode the tuner senses the notes of the
instrument through the clip. This means
the ZOID focuses on the note and rejects background noise, making it easy to
tune when everyone else in the band is playing. In Mic Mode the ZOIDs use a built-in mic to pickup the notes. This allows for easy sharing of the tuner
among everyone in the band. Both ZOIDs feature a Calibration function allowing
the tuner to match pitch from a reference of 433 to 447 Hz.
Both ZOIDs
have a 7-octave tuning range, and come with a free long-life lithium
battery. The ZOIDs turn off
automatically after three minutes of inactivity, further extending the already long
battery life. All settings are recalled on power-down, so the tuner always turns
on with the players preferred settings loaded in. Suggested list price for both ZOIDs is
$39.95.
Sabine also
manufactures the industry-standard STX1100 AutoTuner, the AX3000 Contact
AutoTuners, the NexTune 6z and 12z Guitar and Chromatic Tuners, the MT9000
