How Teenage Engineering Makes Cool Stuff!

got excited and thought it was friday for a sec

Well this is certainly a collision of two things I enjoy that I was in no way expecting lol.

Love that this episode exists! an hour of hearing an actual product engineer geek out about his product is just soo valuable, especially with such an iconic company as TE. So by all means, do publish more of these

"It's a dual-core CPU, but we don’t actually use the other core yet." Well damn. Here's hoping for some interesting new features with that untapped potential in the future 🤞 Thanks for sharing this conversation!

I'm so happy this interview exists, love, love, love it. ❤

ADAM ON THE BIG TABLE ALERT 🚨 🚨 ‼️

this interview was so interesting! I have a KO2 and I love it! I love it even more now knowing more about how it was made. The whole process sounded like it was a lot of fun, you can really tell a lot of passion went into the EP line. Im very excited to see what comes next!

Ayeeeee love this. First I see MKBHD rocking the CM-15 mic in his video now this awesome interview. Great stuff!! 🙌🏾

I loved this so so much! Thank you, Adam and David. I'm such a massive fan of Teenage Engineering—I adore my OP-1f and EP-133, but this changed my entire view of the company. Just so cool!

Extra episode. Let's go!

Concerning the design question at 30:00, anyone interested in their approach to design (at least in terms of the hardware) should check out Dieter Rams, the Industrial design GOAT. Teenage Engineering borrows A LOT from Rams - he's very clearly their biggest influence when it comes to hardware design. Jony Ive - the industrial designer behind most of Apple's most iconic products - also borrows heavily from Dieter Rams, which is likely a big part of why people are always comparing Teenage Engineering to Apple. Most people drawing that comparison assume TE is drawing inspiration from Apple, but the reality is both TE and Apple draw inspiration from Rams. If anything, TE goes way further in emulating Rams.

Yeeees!!! Such a cool surprise!!! Thank you so much for putting this out!!! Absolutely loved it!! Had to pull out my KO II while I watched it 🎉🎉🎉 looking forward to the future 🎉🎉🎉

This is super interesting, thank you! I'm a software engineer/ originally electronics engineer myself. In my company we used to work in a very similar way when we were smaller 10 years ago... "Unfortunately" we grew quite a bit and had to add more "structure".... I miss those creative / chaotic days. Love TE and their products!

I know next to nothing about audio production but this was such an interesting and engaging chat that I found myself really enjoying the talk and I learned a thing or two in the process. Mad respect to David for being really open and willing to receive feedback and work on improving the products. Great job on the interview Adam!

Wow. I'm a big TE fan and was expecting just a basic interview. I love that it gets into the details of their design and production problems. I'm building hardware right now and going through some similar challenges, so it was great to learn about their experience.

Geeking out on this stuff while working.... priceless 👍🏻

Always love this in depth bonus episodes

Such an insightful interview & it makes you respect their approach to product design. Thanks for sharing this as I was not expecting this kind of coverage on this show! 👏👏👏

Great Episode and Interview! I can't wait to see Adam doing more interviews like this.

This was great! More Adam and more product people too please. Really enjoyed seeing behind the curtain
