Teenage Engineering TP-7 Field Recorder

Available from Gear4Music at £1,218.00 ($1,547).

The Teenage Engineering TP-7 Field Recorder is a compact and portable recording device designed to capture memos found sounds and live recordings on the move. Unlike conventional field recorders the TP-7 features a motorised tape reel design that utilises smooth ball bearings to control menu navigation playback scrubbing and more. Inspired by classic design the TP-7 also features a side-mounted rocker which (when pushing up/down on the top edge) allows you to fast forward or rewind at high speeds. You can also use the TP-7 to transcribe your recorded speech by connecting the TP-7 to your phone (via Bluetooth or USB) and using the dedicated app. For the time when you need to quickly pause the recording you can place your finger on the reel to stop capturing audio. Taking inspiration from classic Dictaphone design the TP-7 takes capturing live audio to the next level. The premium-grade onboard microphone and speaker combined with the 24-bit/96kHz audio fidelity ensures you capture every nuance of your source. From interviews to podcasts to recording live performances of your favourite artists the TP-7 can do it all. With a whopping 128GB of onboard storage you can record to your hearts content without worrying about running out of space. It also features a built-in rechargeable battery that offers up to 7 hours of battery life with visual feedback provided by the streamlined monochrome display.
