Teenage Engineering rarely leaves a simple control alone when it can turn it into an instrument. The EP-2350 FX-MIC applies that instinct to a handheld microphone, putting effects, samples, and a physical modulation lever directly under the performer’s hand.

Four built-in voice treatments cover echo, echo with spring reverb, pixie, and robot effects. Four triggerable samples can be replaced by the user, while custom presets can be edited through a JSON file. The lever changes effect parameters in real time, giving the microphone a more performative role than a conventional vocal input. It fits neatly into Teenage Engineering’s broader approach to playful audio hardware, where controls invite manipulation rather than disappear.

The mic runs on two AAA batteries or USB-C and uses a fixed curly 3.5mm cable for audio output. It can connect directly to Teenage Engineering’s EP-series samplers or other compatible sound systems, making it useful as a compact effects front end even without the company’s own gear. Its deliberately lo-fi voice also keeps expectations aligned with experimentation rather than studio transparency.

The EP-2350 accompanies the EP-40 riddim sampler ecosystem but is sold separately. Teenage Engineering prices the microphone at $59. Direct-store availability varies by region, while several U.S. music retailers list it at the same price. The appeal is straightforward: effects that normally live in a pedal or software plug-in have moved onto the microphone itself.
