The EP-136 KO Sidekick by Teenage Engineering is a two-channel mixer designed for live performances and DJ sets. It supports two stereo inputs or four mono inputs with split audio adapters, and can control DJ apps via USB-C.
Each channel features a three-band EQ and a versatile built-in compressor with three modes. The most intriguing aspect of the Sidekick is its six performance effects: a DJ filter, tremolo, delay, tape echo, loop and siren. These effects can be automated or controlled by pressure on the mod stick.
The device automatically detects incoming audio's BPM to keep rhythmic effects in sync, allowing for sophisticated layering of effects. Channels can run effects in series or parallel, giving users maximum creative control over their soundscapes.
Available now for $179, the EP-136 KO Sidekick is a must-have for musicians and DJs looking to add dynamic flair to their performances without breaking the bank.
