Reinstated editions of Teenage Engineering's TX-6, TP-7, and CM-15 now available in a sleek black finish.
Hot Off the Press: Last month at Superbooth, Teenage Engineering showcased an alluring new look for three pieces from its Field System – the TX-6 mixer, TP-7 field recorder, and CM-15 microphone. Now, they're dressed in a sleek, matte-black attire, mimicking the monochrome elegance of the OP-XY. If you're not a fan of shiny silver, this new black colorway might just lure you into splurging a bit extra.
This Black Series edition promises the same professional-grade sound mixing capabilities as the previous versions, with the TX-6, TP-7, and CM-15 each receiving a stylish makeover. Let's dive into what each piece offers in terms of functionality and why you might want to consider adding them to your toolkit.
TL;DR: Teenage Engineering has redesigned its Field System gear, including the TX-6 mixer, TP-7 field recorder, and CM-15 microphone, in a matte-black finish for a cohesive and premium aesthetic.
The Silver Charm: TX-6 MixerFirst up is the TX-6, a compact and high-quality six-channel mixer all the way from 2022. Sporting a matte-black finish, extending down to the screws, it delivers a uniform and sophisticated feel, boasting professional-grade sound mixing capabilities suitable for studio and on-the-go setups.
Vibrant Memory: TP-7 Field RecorderNext is the TP-7, a portable, high-fidelity field recorder. Specially designed for outdoor and location sound capture, it offers a well-optimized handheld form factor, now adorned with the same sleek matte-black finish as the TX-6, making it both stylish and durable, perfect for discerning field engineers and creatives.
Strong, Stylish, and Versatile: CM-15 MicrophoneLast but not least is the CM-15, a versatile large-diaphragm, portable condenser microphone. Its impressive spec sheet includes features like a high-quality 1-inch diaphragm, an OPA140 JFET amplifier stage, and various powering options, guaranteeing excellent audio quality for a multitude of uses. And, of course, the matte-black version fits seamlessly into the Black Series lineup.
Pricey But Worthy?Though the Field System's lofty price points have sparked much controversy, there's no denying that these devices are exquisitely crafted pieces of kit, and the new black colorway might sway those who couldn't get on board with the shiny silver designs. So, if you're ready to dig into your savings and up your audio game, consider giving the Black Series trio a listen.
