This simple setup shows the AV-452 at the cen- ter of a single room setup. This is a common arrangement for boardrooms, small churches and school presentation rooms. Mic panels in the walls allow up to four microphones to be connected to the AV-452, or wireless microphones can be connected in their place. The DVD player and Cassette/CD-RW combo are connected to their dedicated inputs and can be switched from the AV-452’s front panel or

learning remote control.

The AV-452’s internal 100W amplifier provides power for the distributed speaker system. A con- stant voltage input allows the building’s intercom system to be wired directly into the mixer, so the presenter can turn off background music during presentations. A gate on the CV line can still pass announcements and emergency alerts.

In this case, the AV-452 functions not only as a small PA and A/V amplifier, but also as a video switcher and master controller for the system.

can use a single AV-452 in this joined setup.

The A/V equipment is placed in Room A,and will only be available in that room. When the partitions are open, both Amp A and Amp B are switched on from the AV-452’s front panel. When a small group needs to use room B and the partition is closed, Amp B is switched off. The installer can even wire a toggle switch to the wall in room B to switch that

This technology allows for effects such as reverb, echo, and compression to be applied to audio signals, enhancing the overall sound quality and providing creative sound shaping options. The intuitive interface makes it easy for users to select and tweak these effects in real time, which is particularly useful during live performances.

The AV-452 also features comprehensive connectivity options. With balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS outputs, it can easily integrate into existing audio systems. Additionally, the USB output allows for straightforward recording of mixed audio directly to a computer, making it a valuable tool for content creators and streamers looking to produce high-quality audio streams or recordings.

One of the standout characteristics of the AV-452 is its user-friendly interface. The layout is designed for quick access to all important controls, ensuring that users can make adjustments on the fly without getting distracted from the performance. The mixer’s sleek and compact design allows for easy portability, making it an ideal choice for mobile setups.

The Tascam AV-452 is also equipped with several safety and convenience features, such as a built-in limiter that prevents distortion and clipping and a headphone output with separate volume control for monitoring.
