Hi,

Has anyone ever used the Tascam AV-452 A/V Mixer Prensentation Ampliifier before? It has been out for a couple of years. Seems like a good deal for a audio mixer and video switcher with amp capablilities. Any yeahs or neahs for this product?

The physical layout doesn't look conducive to easy switching of video, no preview bus either.

For a small mixer for presentation nothing seems to beat the venerable Panasonic MX50. Problem with the later breed is the delay through the mixer, worse still the MX70 (full digital version of the MX50) seems slow to respond to its buttons. If you can find a used MX50 at just about any price snatch it up, I suspect they're going up in value as Panasonic no longer make them and there's just nothing to replace them.
