I love, love, love Teenage Engineering's design and they create really cool products, but this seems too crazy a price point even for them.
When they released the TX-6 mixer for $1199 I almost understood their reasoning, since pro audio equipment has always been overpriced, and they clearly put a lot of thought into it and it had a somewhat unique set of features, and most of all it was beautifully designed, but this... This is plywood on an aluminum frame. What's unique about this? Maybe I'm finally just too removed from the target market. Could somebody help me understand if there's something I'm missing?
- rtkwe 4y agoIs the extrusion pattern and it's accessories new? seems like it's kind of a competitor to 8020 for small scale projects which while neat is an odd expansion choice for a premium audio manufacturer to go for. Though it's not completely out of left field since they have some things like the flat pack computer case and the little synth stations that are somewhat in this area already. This is definitely way too expensive though for what you wind up getting.
- notJim 4y agoIf you think of them as more of a product/industrial design firm than an audio firm, it makes sense. All of their products have stood out design wise.
- rtkwe 4y agoTrue that is kind of their core work now. It's hard to recalibrate from knowing them primarily for their various little synths and music things like the Pocket Operators. They moved into more of the design space after I learned of them so I still mostly think of them for their music stuff.
