At Superbooth 2025, Teenage Engineering introduced Field System Black, new versions of their flagship mobile audio devices, with black styling.
The line includes the TX–6 field mixer, TP–7 field recorder and CM–15 field microphone, all of which are now available in a matte black color. The OP-XY is already available in black.
Availability:
The Field System Black versions are expected to be available in early June. See the TE site for details.
I’ve never used any TE products. This line looks great. How is the build & sound quality of their devices? Does it justify the price?
I have the OP-1 Field and love it. The build quality seems excellent. The workflow is unusual if you’re used to DAWs, but it didn’t take me long to get to grips with it. I travel constantly and it’s a great travel companion.
Thanks. I have to admit I’ve always admired the TE design aesthetic. As long as the quality matches asking price, that’s great.
It does not. OP-1 Field knobs have a tendency to crack.
Available as an integrated package complete with a second mortgage.
Look! It’s Malibu Stacy, and she’s got a new hat!
I would prefer if they released a silver op-xy.
Anyways, op-xy is still buggy despite all the fixes… just demoed it again today with latest firmware and apparently disabling velocity sensitivity does nothing.
