Mixer, Effects Processor, and Audio Interface in One
A multifaceted device, the Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O.-Sidekick combines a stereo mixer, an effects processor, and an audio interface in a compact, desktop-friendly unit. The EP-136 features two stereo channels with 24dB of gain, each with a 3-style, 3-band EQ and a 3-mode compressor. You get six performance effects that you can deploy in either series or parallel, along with headphone Cue and beat-matching on each channel. The EP-136 features potent effects automation via Motion Control, which functions like a tap-FX sequencer, along with a pressure-sensitive effects pad and a multifunction Mod stick. Additionally, this stellar sidekick includes a stereo Aux input, a stereo mix Output, MIDI over USB-C, and an 8-in, 4-out USB audio interface. Sweetwater’s more adventurous music creators have long appreciated Teenage Engineering’s philosophy of go-anywhere portability, and the EP-136 follows suit as a fully standalone instrument that can run on two AAA batteries. A high-resolution LCD screen rounds out this mixer’s bountiful features. Whether you use it standalone, in the studio, or onstage, or link multiple units together for expanded channel counts, the EP-136 K.O.-Sidekick makes a worthwhile addition to any electronic musician’s setup.

Teenage Engineering: serious gear, playful design
At Sweetwater, the name Telefunken commands instant respect. Telefunken microphones have long been an industry standard. Rich in tradition, Telefunken Elektroakustik carries on a legacy that started over a century ago in Germany, building premium microphones and other pro audio equipment for both studio and stage. If you have clients coming into your studio, appearances matter — and having no-name microphones set up in your tracking room is probably not the best way to impress them. When your clients see the Telefunken Diamond badge, they’ll know they’re in a professional studio with serious equipment.
