How does the CM-15 work with the field system?
CM-15 in the Teenage Engineering field system:
Field system overview:
- TX-6 (mixer)
- TP-7 (recorder)
- OP-1 Field (synth)
- OB-4 (speaker)
CM-15 + TX-6: 1. Connect via 3.5mm or USB-C 2. Use TX-6 as preamp and mixer 3. Combine with other sources 4. Process with TX-6 EQ and effects 5. Monitor through TX-6
CM-15 + TP-7: 1. Connect via 3.5mm or USB-C 2. Record directly to TP-7 3. Portable recording setup 4. Battery-powered field recording 5. No computer needed
Full field system setup: 1. CM-15 captures audio 2. TX-6 mixes with other sources (synths, etc.) 3. TP-7 records the final mix 4. OB-4 plays back for monitoring 5. Completely portable, battery-powered
Workflow example: Interview recording 1. CM-15 on talent 2. Second audio source to TX-6 3. Mix and monitor on TX-6 4. Record to TP-7 5. Transfer files via USB-C
Workflow example: Music production 1. OP-1 Field for synths 2. CM-15 for vocals/acoustic 3. TX-6 mixing all sources 4. TP-7 capturing final mix 5. Work anywhere
Connection options:
- Analog: 3.5mm TRS cables
- Digital: USB-C
- XLR: For traditional gear
- Mix and match as needed
The field system philosophy: Professional quality, portable form factor, seamless interconnection.
