World Ready power supply
The ultimate in convenience for the traveling musician. The built-in power supply operates from 90 to 240 Volts, making life a lot easier for anyone on the road as there’s no complicated fuse changing – just plug and play!
Digital Recording output
The AES/EBU connector means you can record straight into your DAW, such as
Pro Tools or Logic. For maximum flexibility it’s also S/PDIF compatible and switchable from pre to post in the pre-amp section.
Integrated DI box
Quality can vary wildly with built-in DIs, but RH450’s DI is transformer balanced and galvanically isolated from the rest of the amp, which means no ground loops or hum. And don’t worry about long cable runs – RH450 will draw at least 100m of cable with zero drop in audio quality.

Even though the integrated DI in RH450 does not need 48v phantom to operate, it does not get harmed either if your sound engineer accidently leaves it on.
Portability
The versatility of RH450 wouldn’t really make sense if it came in an oversized, bulky box. Its stylish design with the smooth grab’n’go handle just spells out portability. It sets your creativity free and screams for you to bring it along wherever your bass talent takes you. Bring your own sound for whatever show or studio session you’re involved in or jam out on the tour bus, at the hotel room, at home - and hey, it works for rehearsals too.
 
Power Handling
The 450w high power output level of RH450 is accomplished by using Class D amplifier technology in combination with TC Electronic’s Active Power Management™. APM effectively means that the amp behaves very much like a tube amp when getting close to maximum performance by optimizing the power impact, contrary to the hard-clipping tendencies of transistor amps and most other Class D amps.

RH450 Review - Performing Musician
This is some serious piecs of kit. The clever designs and functions on the amp ensure that no feature is redundant. The rotary LEDs are a little disconcerting to use at first, but for quick visual reference they turn out to be fantastic, as is the onboard tuner, which is such a simple thing to incorporate but is again just so useful for speed of setup and reference.

RH450 Review - MusicPlayers.com
by Scott Kahn - MusicPlayers.com
The result of TC Electronic and Tannoy’s design collaboration is nothing short of brilliant - we unequivocally love this bass rig... ...The compressor sounded great, which shouldn’t come as any big surprise since TC Electronic has been doing this kind of signal processing for decades.

by Jonathan Herrera - Bass Player
With the controls set for the flattest response, the RH head was beautifully textured and fast, with warm and supple mids, taut lows, and a mellow top
