The three preset frequencies and their uses
440 Hz – The standard A
This is the universally recognized frequency for tuning musical instruments.
Known as the “International A”, it is the modern standard, providing a clear and stable reference for intonation.
432 Hz – A historical alternative
The 432 Hz is sometimes used as an alternative to 440 Hz.
Some musicians prefer it for its slightly lower pitch, often perceived as softer and warmer.
While not an official standard, it is appreciated for the unique expressiveness it offers.
415 Hz – The baroque choice
About a semitone below 440 Hz, 415 Hz is typical of baroque and early music.
It offers an authentic intonation faithful to historical context, making it ideal for instruments such as harpsichords and baroque violins.
Custom frequency and duration
With Diapason Plus you’re not limited to preset values: you can freely choose a tuning frequency within a dedicated range.
Sound duration is fixed in the basic version, while in the Pro version it becomes adjustable, giving you greater control to suit your musical needs.
Extra features
