Teenage Engineering's Record Factory is Perfect for the Holidays
Teenage Engineering develops a new Music Factory device to continue growing the digitalization of the music industry. It is the perfect blend of nostalgic design that functions as a turntable and also works to cut vinyl as well. Customers will have to assemble it themselves and they are able to master their own songs from the device.
It appears to be like a toy and to launch this version, the brand worked together with the help of Suzuki. It even includes a special interview with the designer that is found in the magazine booklet that features instructions as well. Building the Record Factory takes about an hour to an hour and a half. This helps users properly understand the interior and workings of the design.
