Teenage Engineering TP-7

A Device Designed as a Dedicated Tool, Not a Secondary Feature

The TP-7 is built around a simple idea: record without friction, then easily retrieve the essentials. While many solutions scatter between accessories and menus, this recorder focuses on a compact form factor and clear architecture to instantly capture a voice, an interview, an ambient sound take, or a raw riff the moment inspiration strikes.

Who Is It For and What Uses in Studio and Outdoors?

The TP-7 is aimed at musicians, producers, journalists, podcasters, and content creators who want a reliable and fast recorder without sacrificing quality. On the go, it becomes a high-end audio notebook for vocal takes, sound design, and location scouting. In the studio, it can serve as a capture tool, reference player, or USB-C audio interface to integrate an external source into a minimalist setup.

Key Features: Input/Output Flexibility, Audio Interface, and Modern Workflow

3 Configurable TRRS Jacks: A True Chameleon

The three TRRS mini-jacks can be assigned according to your needs: stereo input for a line source, stereo output to another device, or headphone use. This modular approach simplifies preparation for a shoot, interview, or writing session while keeping the bag light.

USB-C: Recorder and 6-Channel Audio Interface

The USB-C connection is not limited to data transfer: it allows the TP-7 to be used as a 6-channel audio interface at 24-bit / 96 kHz, while also handling MIDI transmission and charging. Convenient for moving from a field take to a DAW session without multiplying boxes.

Built-in Microphone and Speaker, Plus iOS Transcription

For quick captures, the internal microphone enables immediate recording, and the built-in speaker offers monitoring playback in all situations. The TP-7 can also function as a dictaphone thanks to the TP-7 transcription app (available for iOS), useful for turning voice notes into usable content.
