#2$1,500? For a field recorder?
That's not a crazy number for a digital synthesizer. It's eye-watering for a pocket-sized mixer. For a microphone though? This is madness. You carry a cell phone with you every day - if you need more, you buy a Zoom handheld for maybe ~$150.
There's no shortage of pissing-and-moaning about Teenage Engineering hardware, but goddamn. They are really betting on people not wanting to open the Voice Recordings app on their smartphone with this one.

Yeah although it seems like besides their pocket operators everything they sell costs around 1500. I'm sure its amazing but the mic on my cell phone is good enough for me to capture tons of samples with my phone.

#4Anyone know the model of typewriter they use in the image, where they sell up the ease of transcribing TP-7 audio to text?

I don't think they're betting on anything. They know they make somethings that no one else in the world does.
Are there designer microphones like this made by other companies anywhere else in the world? No. They have no real competitors despite making technologies you can easily purchase elsewhere.

They're betting on people who love jawdropping gorgeous pieces of technology and have lots of money to spend on art

it's not a mic. the included mic is a subpar convenience function "in a pinch" not the primary purpose. it's $3000 for mic+recorder.

#8I know everyone's going to complain about the price (which is ridiculous), but I think Teenage Engineering is the last company around that has that sleek Apple aesthetic and extremely premium feel. I get giddy every time I see them on the HN front page.
They've been around for a while, so I assume there's a decent professional audiophile community that is supporting them. I hope they continue doing well!

Par for the course for Teenage Engineering.
Re: TP–7 Field Recorder
#10Are they going to make more than 7 of these?
Usually they only manufacture 7 examples of what they sell.
Five to give to YouTube review channels and two to actually sell.
When those two sell out they wait 29 months and then make two more.
Or so it seems.
