Wittner MT-50 Quartz Metronome
The Wittner MT-50 is a 96 g quartz electronic metronome: a dial sets the tempo from 40 to 208, a click and an LED mark each beat, and a 440 Hz A is there for tuning.
What sets it apart
- 39 tempo positions, from 40 to 208
- Click and LED, or LED alone for silent practice
- Built-in A 440 Hz for tuning
- Earphone jack, earphone included
- Rated accuracy of ±0.05%
Quartz-timed tempo
A quartz oscillator times the beat: no spring to wind, no pendulum to level. Turn the dial to the tempo you want and the MT-50 starts right away, with the ±0.05% accuracy Wittner specifies.
The selector switch picks sound and light, or light alone.
Tune up and practise late
At the dial's A4 setting, the unit plays an A at 440 Hz. As soon as the earphone goes into the 3.5 mm jack, the speaker goes quiet: the sound goes to your ear only.
Before first use
The 9 V battery is not included. It sits under the case cover; Wittner suggests removing it if the metronome will go unused for a long time. A fold-out stand keeps it upright on a music stand or table.
