Teenage Engineering Introduces ‘TX-6’ New Tiny Stereo Mixer

The company behind ultra-stylish synthesizers, speakers, and PC cases, Teenage Engineering has introduced a new tiny audio gadget called the TX-6 to enable users to mix together sound from six stereo inputs and output them to a computer, speaker, or both.

TX-6 in true Teenage Engineering fashion is a tiny field mixer absolutely festooned with knobs and can also act as a basic synthesizer, drum sequencer, and USB-C audio interface.

There are also LED volume meters, with controllable brightness.

TX-6 acts as controls for a three-band equalizer, letting you tweak the highs, mids, and lows for each input.

It also can be used for controlling compressor settings to adjust pan or note length. The knobs are colourful and knurled at the top, which is expected to help users grip something that’s otherwise approximately the size of a large Q-Tip.

The TX-6 has those six audio jacks for input and three output jacks; two are 3.5 mm for aux and cue out, and the main output is 6.35 mm, or a quarter-inch.

It has also got a built-in battery, which Teenage Engineering says is good for around eight hours of use, and charges via the USB-C port that also handles connecting the TX-6 to your device.

It also has a CNC aluminum frame, an adorable little screen to show you menus, and artificial leather backing.
