Teenage Engineering EP-2350

The Teenage Engineering EP-2350 Ting is a standalone handheld vocal performance microphone that combines battery-powered portability with built-in vocal effects, sample triggering, and hands-on sound manipulation for live creative control.

Overview and Key Capabilities

Ting functions as a self-contained vocal instrument for live performers who want expressive, tactile control without relying on external gear. It connects directly to systems such as RIDDIM units or any PA or mixer via its integrated 3.5 mm curly cable, providing a fast setup for stage or street performance. This compact mic includes four distinct vocal effects that cover classic spatial ambience, lo-fi colour, pitch-altering tones, and robotic textures. Echo offers clear delay repeats suitable for rhythmic vocal phrasing, while Echo plus Spring adds a splashy analogue-inspired reverb character. Pixie introduces pitch-bending and formant shifting for ethereal or cartoon-like timbres, and Robot locks the voice to synthetic, metallic tonalities ideal for glitch and industrial aesthetics. Live effect parameter adjustment allows performers to shape delay feedback, reverb intensity, modulation depth, or pitch shifts directly from the mic, enabling spontaneous sound-sculpting in real time.

Sampling and Performance Workflow

Ting holds four replaceable samples that the user can trigger directly from the microphone, turning it into a hybrid vocal and performance sampler instrument. This design suits beatboxers, experimental vocalists, sound artists, and stage performers who want to trigger textures, hits, or vocal stabs without a secondary controller. Each sample responds immediately, maintaining tight timing with live vocals, and the onboard controls ensure seamless integration into improvisational or rehearsed sets.

Connectivity, Power and Build

Ting uses a line-level output and a 3.5 mm curly cable built into the mic body, giving it plug-and-play convenience with compact mixers, portable speakers, dedicated vocal units such as RIDDIM, and venue systems. The device embraces lo-fi character by design, prioritising creative texture over transparent clinical audio. It runs on two AAA batteries for cable-free mobility and also accepts USB-C power when performers require continuous operation during longer sets.
