Teenage Engineering Announce Vinyl Record Cutter
In perhaps the ultimate nod to lo-fi audio fans, makers of the OP-1 and TX-6, Teenage Engineering, have announced the launch of the latest addition to their Pocket Operator line-up, the PO-80 Record Factory.
Designed in collaboration with Japanese sound artist Yuri Suzuki, the PO-80 Record Factory allows you to plug in any audio device through the built-in 3.5mm audio input and cut your own 5″ vinyl.
In a further collaboration, Teenage Engineering has also worked with the renowned Swedish plugin maker Klevgrand to create an online vinyl mastering tool to ensure you get the optimum lo-fi sound quality for your recordings before cutting.
The Record Factory and a number of accessories, including 5″ blank records, a carry case and replacement cutting heads, are available from the Teenage Engineering website. The PO-80 Record Factory retails for £149 and includes everything you need to assemble your machine, from needle to disks.
