Handy Mic — A Push-to-Talk Companion for the K.O.-AMP 35

The Handy Mic from Teenage Engineering is a compact handheld microphone built to give the EP-35 K.O.-AMP 35 a voice. Designed exclusively for that portable amplifier, this accessory turns the K.O.-AMP into a ready-made karaoke machine, presentation tool, or impromptu PA. Plug in the XLR cable, press the button, and your voice comes through the amp — no menu diving, no setup screens. The Handy Mic is the right choice for K.O.-AMP 35 owners who want a clean, no-fuss way to amplify vocals on the spot.

What Sets the Handy Mic Apart

Most add-on microphones for portable amps require extra cables or adapters. The Handy Mic skips that complexity with a permanently attached coiled XLR cable that tucks away when not in use. Its push-to-talk button is a rare feature in this category — it acts as a hardware mute so the mic only picks up sound while you're actively speaking or singing. Inside the body sits an electret condenser capsule, the same transducer type found in many stage microphones, giving the mic responsive vocal capture in a shell small enough to fit inside the amp's handle.

Capsule Design — Clear Vocal Capture

The capsule is the heart of any microphone, and the electret condenser design responds quickly to vocal input. That makes it well suited to singing, spoken-word announcements, and call-and-response moments during a performance.

• Capsule Type: Electret Condenser — responsive to vocal detail and dynamics
• Application: Karaoke, Vocals — tuned for singing and speech
• Switch: Push-to-Talk — hardware mute keeps the channel silent until pressed

Connection & Power — Plug-and-Play XLR

A standard XLR connection means the mic works with any mixer or amp that accepts a balanced mic-level input, not just the K.O.-AMP 35. The mic draws phantom power from the connected device, so there's no battery to replace or charge between sessions.

• Output: 3-pin XLR — balanced connection for clean signal transfer
• Phantom Power: 5V–48V — compatible with most mixers and the K.O.-AMP 35
• Battery Powered: No — power comes from the connected device

Form Factor — Built to Travel with the Amp

Designed to travel with the amp, the mic's compact body is shaped to slide into the integrated handle of the EP-35 K.O.-AMP 35, so it stays with the unit between uses. The coiled cable stretches when you need reach and springs back when you let go.

• Cable: Coiled XLR, extends to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) — flexible reach without slack
• Compatibility: Teenage Engineering EP-35 K.O.-AMP 35 — designed to fit the amp's handle
• Manufacturer Part Number: TE035AS300

Who Should Pick Up the Handy Mic

Built for K.O.-AMP 35 owners who want a dedicated, ready-to-go vocal mic without buying a separate stand, cable, and adapter. Karaoke hosts will appreciate the push-to-talk button, which mutes the mic between singers and prevents room noise from leaking into the mix. Presenters and event organizers can use it for announcements at small gatherings, while casual musicians can sing along to backing tracks streamed over Bluetooth to the amp. The Teenage Engineering Handy Mic is the right choice for anyone who already owns the EP-35 K.O.-AMP 35 and wants a tidy, integrated vocal solution.

Teenage Engineering — Stockholm's Playful Design Studio

Teenage Engineering is a Stockholm-based company that designs synthesizers, samplers, speakers, and accessories from its own studio in Sweden. The brand first drew widespread attention with the OP-1 portable synthesizer, which debuted at NAMM in 2010 and won over musicians with its playful look and deep sound-shaping capabilities. That same design philosophy — serious engineering wrapped in approachable, minimal hardware — runs through the EP-35 K.O.-AMP 35 and its accessory family, including this push-to-talk mic.
