Introduction
Vocal effects normally live in a box on the floor or a channel strip you can't reach while singing. The EP-2350 puts them in the hand already holding the microphone, which changes when you can use them: on the beat you meant, not two beats after you found the knob.
Teenage Engineering announced it in August 2026 as the redesigned successor to the discontinued Ting, restyled to sit alongside the EP-133 K.O. II and the EP-136 K.O. Sidekick. There are 4 effects (Echo, Spring, Pixie and Robot) on an orange button, and 4 sample slots (horn, claps and bell from the factory) on a grey one. How far you squeeze the handle sets the effect amount, and shaking the mic bends it further.
The part that makes it more than a toy is that the samples and the effect presets are just files. Plug in USB-C, the mic mounts as a disk, and you drop WAVs on it. A plain config.json rewrites how the effects behave and how the handle and the motion sensor map onto them.

Key Features & Benefits
- Four effects on one button: Echo, Spring, Pixie and Robot, switchable mid-phrase without leaving the mic.
- The handle is the parameter: squeeze depth sets the effect amount, and the motion sensor adds more when you shake it.
- Four sample slots under your thumb: horn, claps and bell ship loaded, and they fire from the grey button.
- Your own sounds, no app: connect USB-C, the mic mounts as a disk, drag WAVs on. Mono or stereo, 8/16/24-bit or 32-bit float, up to 96 kHz.

Rewritable effects: a plain
config.jsonchanges how each preset behaves and how the handle, motion and automation map to it. - Plugs into anything with a line input: stereo line out on a 3.5 mm coiled cable, 8 dBu maximum, 98 dBA signal-to-noise.
- Runs on batteries: 2 × AAA or USB-C bus power, 100 g, 88 × 56 × 16 mm.
Real-World Reactions
“Is it a toy for your next '80s or '90s party, or perhaps a sound design tool? I think it's both, and it's definitely fun.”
Synth Anatomy, 25 August 2026
That's the right read. At €59 it isn't competing with a vocal processor, it's competing with the absence of one, and it wins that fight because it's already in your hand.

Pairs With the Rest of the EP Series
The EP-2350 is built to plug into the boxes it was designed next to. All of these are at Soundium:
- Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II, the sampler most people will run it into
- Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O. Sidekick, the 6-channel stereo mixer
- Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval
- Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim Supertone
- The whole range: Teenage Engineering at Soundium
Who It's For
- Anyone performing vocals over an EP-series sampler who wants effects without a second box
- Toasting, dub sirens and ad-libs, where the timing is the whole point
- DJs who want a mic with character rather than a flat announcement mic
- Lo-fi vocal takes straight into a mixer
Who should look elsewhere:
- Anyone needing a proper stage vocal mic. This is a line-level performance instrument, not an XLR workhorse.
- Anyone who wants to monitor on headphones from the mic itself. The output is line level only.
- Long sample work. There's 1 MB of storage, so your own sounds have to be short.
Quick Specs
- Effects: 4 presets, Echo, Spring, Pixie, Robot
- Samples: 4 user-replaceable slots, 1 MB total storage
- Sample formats: WAV, mono or stereo, 8/16/24-bit or 32-bit float, up to 96 kHz
- Output: stereo line on an attached 3.5 mm coiled cable
- Signal-to-noise: 98 dBA. Maximum output: 8 dBu (2 Vrms)
- Power: 2 × AAA or USB-C
- Dimensions: 88 × 56 × 16 mm, 100 g
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros:
- Effect depth on the handle, so expression happens without menus
- Samples and presets are plain files over USB-C, with no software to install
- Battery powered and pocket-sized, so it works into any line input on any stage
- €59 for something that replaces a vocal effects box you were never going to carry
⚠️ Cons:
- 1 MB of sample memory keeps your own sounds short
- No onboard recording, so samples come from a computer
- Line-level output only, and it won't drive headphones

Final Thoughts
Most €59 accessories are cables. This one is an instrument with a config file, and the reason it works is the handle: an analogue control you're already gripping, mapped to something that happens instantly. If you own a K.O. II, this is the cheapest thing you can add that changes what you do with it.
