teenage engineering field system—Ultraportable Tools Engineered for High-Fidelity Production

The teenage engineering field series is a cohesive ecosystem of battery-powered devices built for high-resolution recording, mixing, and playback in portable environments. At its core is the OP–1 field—a powerful update to the original OP–1—featuring a 32-bit floating-point audio engine, high-resolution screen and four-track tape-style workflow with stereo sampling and USB-C connectivity. It integrates seamlessly with the TX–6, a 12-channel stereo mixer with 32-bit/48kHz resolution, internal FX and a synthesizer/drum machine engine, all within a pocket-sized enclosure. The TP–7 field recorder captures 24-bit/96 kHz audio with a motorized tape wheel, dual stereo mic/line inputs and Bluetooth and USB-C audio interface support. The CM–15 microphone delivers large-diaphragm condenser performance with onboard preamp, USB-C interface and 32-bit recording. All Field products share a common design language, aluminum unibody construction, stereo 3.5 mm TRS I/O and USB-C multichannel compatibility, creating a fully modular, studio-quality setup that runs on internal batteries and fits in a backpack.
