With the TP-7, Teenage Engineering presents a portable audio recorder that is – and aims to be – far more than just an exclusive voice recorder. Sometimes things need to happen very quickly; it’s the moment that counts. The TP-7 was developed precisely for this purpose: to record sounds, music and voice as conveniently as possible and in the highest possible quality at that crucial moment. This well-designed device is exceptionally handy, elegant and unobtrusive, whilst being packed with details that bear witness to the developers’ more than two decades of experience. The TP-7 is ideal if you frequently want to record memos, interviews, podcasts, field recordings and live performances.
As soon as you’ve got the TP-7 in your hand, you’ll soon be able to operate it with just four fingers without having to glance at the small but crystal-clear display. A large red LED and the rotating tape reel indicate when recording is in progress. The tape reel is the TP-7’s central control element, as it is used to navigate through the menu, pause the recording until released, and is also suitable for scratching the audio material or slowly scanning through a recording. The rocker switch on the side is used for (quick) fast-forwarding and rewinding a recording; as you do so, the tape reel spins at increased speed in the corresponding direction. The TP-7 is fitted with a built-in rechargeable battery which, when fully charged, guarantees up to seven hours’ operation. The internal storage capacity is 128 GB, which is essentially enough for five minutes of recording every day for over 20 years.
