Design company and manufacturer of unique audio equipment Teenage Engineering has announced that it is partnering once more, this time to launch a professional-quality record cutter for the home. Called the APC-2, the upcoming device is also part of a collaboration with analog company SuperSense, “to enable access to anyone who wants their music or sound on a physical record.”
The APC-2 measures 51 x 23.6 x 15.7 inches with a wight of 308 lb, and carves each record using a “super-low-flutter direct-drive motor” and a custom tonearm outfitted with a stereo-feedback cutting head. Exact details of various input methods have not been revealed, but Teenage Engineering says that users can feed audio from a digital audio workstation for “locked grooves and other specialty cuts.”
Pricing and release information is still to be announced, but the company says that a limited number of units has been built “so far,” hinting that demand may dictate a wider release.
