OP-1 Field

The best just got better

Building on the success of the now legendary OP-1, the OP-1 Field has refined every aspect of the original design whilst staying true to its core. Jam-packed with new features and upgrades; the OP-1 Field is the ultimate portable synthesizer for musicians and sound designers. The new and improved speaker system features a new passive loudspeaker on the rear of the synth, which has been optimised to deliver a powerful bass response for a more full-bodied sound.

The battery life has been improved dramatically, providing you with up to a whole day of use (24 hours) from a full charge. The overall design has been revamped too with a new, low-profile aluminium body equipped with a high-res flush display. One of the most innovative features of the OP-1 returns in the form of Tapes. Tape mode provides four stereo tracks with up to six minutes of recording time (at normal speed). There are now four different tape styles to choose from. With the OP-1 Field you can now store up to eight tapes via the onboard memory and switch between them in an instant.

All the iconic graphics have been revamped and overhauled with a brand-new colour scheme. The onboard memory has also been expanded to 256 MB. The overall sound quality has been improved with studio-grade 32-bit audio fidelity. You can now receive and transmit FM signals thanks to the new internal antenna, allowing you to broadcast, as well as sample from the radio. The UI (user interface) has been completely reworked as well as including charge power status LEDs for added convenience. For the full list of the new and improved features see the list towards the bottom of this page.

The vocoder – available with the latest firmware

Teenage Engineering is always updating and enhancing its range of products via firmware updates and the OP-1 Field is no exception. Simply down and install the firmware (available here) and you're ready to go! The vocoder is an effect that was championed by countless artists including Roger Troutman, 2Pac, Daft Punk and many more; synthesizing the human voice to achieve a unique sound. It works by speaking/singing and playing notes at the same time, with the notes dictating the pitch of your voice. The powerful modulation options that the OP-1 Field offers allow you to tap into various styles of vocoding for maximum versatility.

Deep synthesis with new and improved engines

Equipped with multiple original synth engines; the OP-1 Field expands on the original design with the inclusion of stereo synth engines. With 12 engines in total (as well as a synth sample engine) you are presented with a massive sonic palette; allowing you to create everything from aggressive bass sounds to lush pads and even FM-style sounds. The wide variety of engines allows you to easily translate your ideas into sound. There are also a range of stereo effects on offer including a new spring reverb, punch, grid and more.

As well as the synth mode; the OP-1 Field also has a ‘drum mode’. When activated, you’re presented with stereo drum samples and a dual oscillator drum synth as well as a myriad of presets to choose from including a range of new drum kits exclusive to the OP-1 Field. You can now stack multiple drum samples to create powerful layered sounds. The drum envelope has also been improved to provide better transient control. From drum sampling to synthesis; the drum mode has multiple ways to interact with drum sounds or create your own from scratch using dbox.

Advanced sampling with stereo sample engine

From hip-hop to EDM; the art of sampling has long been a staple in popular music and the OP-1 Field gives you everything you need to master this art. The onboard chromatic stereo sampler has been vastly overhauled, now allowing you to zoom in while editing samples. This is a great step-up from the previous version; allowing you to chop and refine samples with maximum precision. The sample storage has also been expanded, now allowing for over 160 minutes of sample storage. You can sample sounds from multiple sources including the built-in microphone or from FM radio.

Wireless Bluetooth connectivity – link together Teenage Engineering gear

The onboard Bluetooth LE connectivity allows for simple wireless MIDI connectivity. Equipped with dual BLE antennas; the OP-1 Field delivers an ultra-stable wireless performance. You can use the wireless MIDI connectivity to connect to outboard MIDI gear or Teenage Engineering units with wireless capabilities such as the OP-Z or the TX-6 mixer. You can also use the OP-1 Field as a MIDI controller or connect to other audio gear via the USB audio/MIDI connectivity.

OB-4 Bluetooth Speaker

Endless audio adventures

The OB-4's standout feature is its endless looping tape, enabling you to rewind and remix anything played on the speaker. This isn't just about replaying your favourite moments; it's about rediscovering them in a new light. Whether it's capturing the essence of a live radio show or revisiting a Bluetooth-streamed album, the OB-4 enhances your listening experience by offering a creative twist on traditional playback. It's designed for the curious and creative, transforming passive listening into an interactive journey.

Massive 40-hour battery life

With a 40-hour battery life on Bluetooth and 72 hours when tuning into the radio, the OB-4 ensures your music never stops. This speaker is a testament to Teenage Engineering's commitment to combining performance with portability. The high-capacity Li-ion battery is engineered to support days of continuous play, making the OB-4 an essential companion for any outing. It's the perfect blend of endurance and excellence, ensuring your soundscapes are uninterrupted, no matter where you find yourself.

Revolutionary motorised interface

The OB-4's motorised interface is a game-changer. It transforms your interaction with sound through a digital-motion-controlled volume knob and tape reel, inviting you to physically engage with your audio. This innovative feature goes beyond the conventional, offering a new level of user experience. It's about feeling the music at your fingertips, making each adjustment an integral part of the listening process. The OB-4 is not just heard; it's felt, it's seen, and it's manipulated in real-time, redefining the boundaries of what a speaker can be.

TX-6 Ultra-Portable Mixer

6-channel stereo mixer/multi-channel audio interface

This comprehensive and portable mixer features six stereo channels complete with encoders and mini-sliders you can use to control a range of parameters. Don’t be fooled by its compact design, the TX-6 is packed with useful features including an internal synthesizer and sequencer as well as a built-in tuner. You can even connect the mixer to iOS devices thanks to the MFi compatibility. Its highly versatile design makes it perfect for any musician on the move. Whether you’re a music producer, a DJ or just an avid listener; this portable mixer solution is ideal for everyone.

Whilst primarily operating as a six-channel mixer, the TX-6 can also be used as a 12-channel audio interface for use with music software and apps. The interface boasts 32-bit/48kHz audio fidelity with 12 available channels for multitrack recordings. Six inputs are included in the form of 3.5mm connections which you can use with a variety of gear including mics and instruments thanks to the inclusion of a 6.3mm adapter. There is also a headset mic input as well as an AUX output for added flexibility. You can navigate between settings, modes and parameters using the monochrome display and the various encoders and track buttons.

CM-15 Condenser Microphone

ESS Sabre conversion technology for high-end audio fidelity

Avant-Garde design company Teenage Engineering brings you the CM-15. A premium pocket-sized condenser microphone, suitable for high quality audio recording. This mic features a large diaphragm gold condenser capsule with a super-cardioid polar pattern, which accurately picks up every nuance of the sound you're recording.

The CM-15 also features a powerful ESS Sabre analog to digital converter that preserves the purity of analog signals in a digital audio configuration, resulting in a clear, bold and natural sound.
