  • In the Studio When laying down tracks, everything must be perfectly in tune especially when dealing with punch ins/outs and recording loops. With a normal tuning system, it takes a considerable amount of time to maintain this threshold of accuracy. With Min-ETune you stay perfectly in tune, so you can make better use of your time and capture that next big hit. On Stage Does your setlist consist of pop songs in E Standard, grunge songs in Drop D, an alt metal song in D Standard, and a blues song in open G with bottle slide? There is no need to drag along 4 guitars to the gig with Min-ETune. Quickly switch tunings between songs with just a few strums. And it doesnt matter how loud your bandmates are, Min-ETune automatically adjusts by sensing the tension of the strings, and dials in to perfect tune with an isolated piezo pickup that is immune to outside noise. When Writing Sometimes songwriting happens right where the inspiration hits you in the back of a tour bus, on the balcony of your city apartment or around a campfire. With Min-ETune, changing the tuning is easy, and almost instantly a single guitar opens up the entire world of musical expression. So when the muse strikes and you create that unique song, save the tuning in the programmable bank of the system for safe keeping.

  • Enthusiast Keep on Rocking Min-ETune is fast, easy, accurate and removes the inconvenience of getting in tune. It also opens your play to more sonic opportunities of open tunings. No need to remember how to tune to open G to sound just like Keef. Ever tried to learn a song from your favorite artists CD and you just cant get it quite right? Chances are the track is played in an alternate tuning. The Min- ETune system allows you to quickly change from E to E to Drop D so you can play along with your favorite recordings. Beginner Ready to Rock? How many of us have struggled with pitch pipes, tuning forks or complex electronic tuners as beginners? When learning the guitar, time is of the essence you want to get playing fast. With Min-ETune, you will spend your time learning how to rock instead of tuning your guitar.

  • Take the famed Onkyo sound on the road with ES-HF300 and ES-FC300 On- Ear Headphones. Your passion for music is reflected in the aluminum driver housing, its shape referencing the volume control on our iconic audio components. The single-arm design creates a clean, elegant profile accentuated with brushed and burnished aluminum. Soft leatherette earpads and headband make for comfortable listening, but that's just the beginning: two 40 mm (1 9/16) titanium drivers, bass reflex sub-chambers, and rigid construction combine to present a wonderfully clear stereo image. These headphones handle everything from Mendelssohn to metal, with deep-reaching bass and a detailed mid-range-testament to the long hours spent tuning the drivers to perfection. The flat elastomer cable design of the ES-FC300 resists knots and tangles while the ES-HF300 include an audiophile-grade copper cable, which provides almost perfect conductivity for superior sound quality. Protected by transparent elastomer to insulate against touch noise, the one-piece cable has gold-plated connections and is the perfect length for travel. Details such as the flat-folding design and detachable cable make it easier to enjoy component-quality audio
