Larger and more easily readable display

The MA-2’s display is 30% larger than that of the previous model, drastically improving the visibility.

Within the display, a digital needle moves between left and right, providing a visual indication of the beat in additional to the audible indication.

A triangular icon shows the beat position and the timing at which the measure changes.

Enhanced volume and crisp sound for easier detection

The MA-2 is equipped with a newly designed electronic buzzer. It’s more powerful, providing easily audible sound that won’t be buried by high-volume instruments or high frequencies.

Covers all the needs of rhythm training

You can choose from three different methods of setting the tempo: pendulum step lets you specify a numeric value just as on a mechanical metronome, full step lets you specify the tempo in one-step increments, and tap tempo lets you specify the tempo by pressing a button in time with the song you’re playing. You can also combine a time signature of between 0–9 beats with eight types of rhythm, supporting many types of musical practicing.

Equipped with “timer mode” for daily practicing

The MA-2 provides basic metronome function, but also includes a “timer mode” that os useful for daily practicing. Use the MODE button to switch between these at a touch.

Timer mode

When the specified time elapses, an alarm sounds and the metronome stops. You can set this in one-minute increments between one minute and 120 minutes, making it ideal for warming up or practicing the basics..

Equipped with “sound out mode” for daily practicing

The MA-2 provides basic metronome function, but also includes  a “sound out mode” that is useful for daily practicing. Use the MODE button to switch between these at a touch.

Sound out mode

A reference tone is emitted from the built-in speaker as a guide for tuning. You can select the reference tone in the one-octave range of C4–B4. The reference frequency of A4 (calibration) can be adjusted in 1 Hz increments in the range of 410 Hz to 480 Hz.

All-new body design & improved functionality

The folding stand lets the metronome stand on its own in an easily visible location.

The sliding battery cover is designed as one piece with the main unit, so there’s no danger of the cover being lost when you replace the batteries.

Up to 400 hours of continuous use

When using alkaline batteries, the unit provides approximately 400 hours of continuous operation.

As the remaining battery power runs low, a battery indicator appears in the display, making it clear when the batteries need to be replaced.

Even for extended practicing sessions, you can concentrate on your performance without worrying about battery life.
