Teenage Engineering’s EP-2350 Ting microphone embraces live & lo-fi vocals
The standalone mic comes with onboard effects, samples & physical controls, designed for expressive use rather than studio recording
Following our recent look at the EP-40 Riddim, Teenage Engineering’s EP-2350 Ting microphone sits naturally alongside it as a hands-on vocal tool designed for live use.
Ting is a standalone, battery-powered handheld microphone with a 3.5 mm line out, allowing it to connect directly to the EP-40 Riddim or any standard soundsystem. This makes it easy to integrate into live setups without additional hardware.
While it may not be designed for clean studio recording, it prioritises interaction and performance.

The microphone features four built-in voice effects—echo, echo with spring, pixie, and robot—all adjustable in real time. A modulation lever and shake-based control encourage physical movement, while push-to-sing keeps operation simple and immediate.
Four onboard samples can be triggered directly from the microphone. These samples, along with effect presets, can be replaced or customised using a simple JSON file.

Power comes from two AAA batteries or USB-C. Practical details include auto on/off, adjustable output level, a belt clip, and a discreet “secret” button for additional control. Its intentionally lo-fi sound pairs closely with the EP-40 Riddim’s reggae and soundsystem-inspired character.
Used as part of the EP-40 Riddim setup, the EP-2350 Ting adds direct vocal processing and sample triggering in a compact form, extending the system into live vocal performance without unnecessary complexity.
