Teenage Engineering TP–7

TP-7 is an ultra-portable audio recorder that lets you record and listen back using the internal mic and speaker, or use any number of the 3x two-way jacks for external mics, headsets, or other signal sources. It also has multiple connectivity options, including USB-C, MFi, and Bluetooth. Instant voice-to-text transcription is available via the iOS app.TP-7 is designed to capture thoughts, ideas, fragments, music, interviews, and important ideas with zero friction in the highest possible quality. It is a dedicated piece of hardware for ideas, or just a dirty riff.TP-7 fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and lets your fingers naturally adopt the controls. The index finger triggers fast forward and the middle finger rewinds. Your thumb records a memo, and the pinky selects the mode. It is a genuinely rewarding human-machine experience.The centerpiece of the TP-7 is the motorized tape reel. It is a delicately engineered brushless motor with ball bearings and a highly sensitive hall sensor that lets you virtually grab your recording. The reel is also used for scrubbing, pausing, menu navigation, and as gentle visual feedback during playback and recording.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'.One of the key features of the TP-7 is its ability to streamline the process of turning audio into text. Simply connect your phone to TP-7 via Bluetooth or USB, open the TP-7 app, and press transcribe. Job done!TP-7 is an ideal recorder for interview situations. The reel on the TP-7 spins slowly, and the bright red record lamp is lit, indicating that a recording is taking place. If the situation gets heated, you can gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview 'off the record'.TP-7 is also a great choice for podcasting. Whether you're in the studio or out in the field, TP-7's high-quality audio is perfect for podcast recording. You can connect up to 3 external mics, or use the internal mic in a pinch. Keep an eye on your levels with the VU meter and headphones.For voice memos, TP-7 is the perfect companion. Think out loud, and TP-7 will capture your thoughts, then convert them into accurate text using the TP-7 app. This is ideal for professionals, avid thinkers, and writers.TP-7 is also great for field recording. With an internal mic, 3x inputs, and a 7-hour rechargeable battery, you can use TP-7 to record samples and demos on the go. Never lose an idea again.TP-7 can also be used in a live performance or recording scenario. Track all the instruments in your studio, or record your live set when performing. You can even use TP-7 as turntables and TX-6 to mix.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.
