Teenage Engineering introduces the APC–2, an ultra-premium, professional-grade lathe record cutter designed for real-time vinyl production.
The APC–2 is a professional-grade lathe record cutter built by Teenage Engineering in partnership with SUPERSENSE. Designed for high-fidelity, real-time audio disc production, the heavy-duty unit features a powder-coated aluminum chassis and a granite base, weighing approximately 140 kg (308 lbs). It enables direct analog recording from Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) with automated pitch control, precise direct-drive mechanics, an integrated amplifier with RIAA encoder, and a built-in vacuum system to handle cutting waste. Positioned as an exclusive studio tool rather than a consumer device, it is produced in extremely limited quantities with pricing available only upon direct inquiry.
Teenage Engineering is returning to its roots of ultra-premium industrial design, creating a massive, luxury studio lathe that bridges high-end digital workflows with the physical craftsmanship of analog vinyl cutting.
* Mechanical Precision: A 140 kg granite-supported base ensures the mechanical stability required for cutting records with less than 0.01% wow and flutter.
* Integrated Ecosystem: By packaging the cutting lathe, RIAA amplifier, and vacuum swarf remover into a single unit, it simplifies an historically complex analog workflow.
* Hyper-Exclusive Distribution: Partnering with SUPERSENSE for a limited-run release signals that this is a boutique luxury item targeted at elite archives and high-end studios.
