Teenage Engineering TP-7 Portable Field Recorder

The Teenage Engineering TP-7 is an ultra-portable audio recorder. Record and listen back using the internal mic and speaker, or use any number of the three two-way jacks for external mics, headsets or other signal sources. Multiple connectivity options include USB-C, MFi and Bluetooth. Instant voice-to-text transcription is available via the iOS app.

The TP–7 fits perfectly in the palm of your hand providing your finger with ergonomic access to the controls. The index finger triggers fast forward and the middle finger rewinds. Your thumb records a memo and your pinky selects the mode. It is a genuinely rewarding man-machine experience!

The TP-7 comes with everything you needed to get started: a 6.35 mm jack adapter, textile USB-C cable, user guide and reusable plastic storage box.

TAPE REEL SENSATION

The centerpiece of the TP–7 is the motorized tape reel - a delicately engineered brushed motor with ball bearings, and a highly sensitive hall sensor that lets you virtually grab your recording. The reel is also used for scrubbing, to pause, menu navigation and as gentle visual feedback during playback and recording.

THE ROCKER

The side-mounted rocker allows you to quickly scrub through your audio. Just press on the top edge to fast forward, and down to rewind. Watch the wheel spin around and hear your tracks scrub in ’hyperspeed’.

TRANSCRIPTION HELL TURNED INTO TRANSCRIPTION HEAVEN

If you've ever experienced the process of transcribing recorded speech to text by hand, you know how tedious and time-consuming of a task t can be. A key feature of the TP–7 is its ability to streamline the process of turning audio into text. Simply connect your phone to TP–7 via BLE or USB, open the TP–7 app and press transcribe. Job done!

OFF THE RECORD

Picture yourself in an interview situation. The reel on the TP–7 is spinning slowly, the bright red record lamp is lit. Both the reel and the lamp indicate that a recording is taking place. The interview is going quite well. The situation gets heated, you're suddenly asked some personal questions. In that moment, you gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview ‘off the record’.

INPUTS, OUTPUTS AND 20 YEARS OF IDEAS

The TP–7 features three stereo two-way jacks to be used as either inputs or outputs, for connecting external mics, headphones, studio monitors, or any other audio equipment like OP–1 field or TX–6, recording with all 6 stereo channels. Use USB-C for multi-channel audio interface, MIDI, data transfer and charging, and BLE and MFi for wireless connectivity. TP–7 also includes a 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm jack adapter. Add to that 128 GB of internal storage and you can preserve 5 minutes of ideas a day for 20 years.
