PRODUCT OVERVIEW  
TASCAM's CD-450 is an advanced CD player optimized  
for studio and live applications. The combination of  
searching for track and index IDs, a call function for  
auditioning start points, and the incremental play  
function combine to help you find the right cue quickly,  
and prevent the next track from playing at the wrong  
time. Pitch control helps keep the pace of the sound  
appropriate for the production. Plus, the digital output  
is handy for use with DAWs, digital mixers, or simply  
rearranging tunes to a digital recorder.

APPLICATIONS  
SPECIFICATIONS  
Performance Specifications:  
The CD-450 CD player is designed to fit a number of live and

grind of broadcast situations, and full featured enough to serve  
in both live and studio applications.

Optional LA-450 Balancing Kit  
In live situations, the audio engineer typically has a lot going on  
at the same time. The CD-450 actually helps by automatically  
performing routine tasks. The Auto Ready function will  
automatically put the player in pause at the start of the next  
track. (No audio run-over to the wrong track.) If you are pulling  
custom cues, the Call function also helps you check your cue  
before playing it for the audience. Pitch Control is very useful  
for extending slightly short cues, or for helping dancers turn  
a dragging tempo into a good groove.

Recording Studio - Post Production  
The CD-450 has standard SPDIF digital output, so it is ideal for  
transferring audio from CDs into DAWs or digital recorders.  
Often times, sound effect CDs will have numerous versions of  
a particular sound effect on a single track ID that is separated  
by index IDs. (ie Telephone rings could all be on track 37, with  
rings recorded from an old fashioned bell phone, digital phone,  
cell phone, office phone, fax machine, etc. each on their own  
index ID.) Locating the effect by index greatly speeds up Foley  
work. Plus, with quick play response, the CD-450 often can be  
used to drop the sound effect in directly.

Radio - Live Broadcast  
In radio work, you want the music to start as soon as you hit  
play on your broadcast audio console. The CD-450 response to  
broadcast standard fader start messages, and can position  
itself right on the starting edge of the music. (Most CDs have  
approximately a quarter to a half second gap from the start ID  
to the audio start. Cue to music starts you at the audio, not at  
the track ID.) As with live theater work, Auto Ready is also  
handy to automatically stop the machine when the track is done.
