Sound Out generates C4–B4 reference tones with A4 calibration between 410–480 Hz , and tempo accuracy is within ±0.02% . The compact body includes a fold-down stand , a built-in sliding battery cover , a 3.5mm mini-jack headphone output , and a 15mm piezo speaker . With up to 400 hours of use on alkaline batteries, a 20-minute auto-off (when the metronome is stopped), and a preset memory, it's a reliable tool for students and professionals alike.
