Amalgamated Wireless Australasia (AWA) Ltd was the largest radio manufacturer in Australia.

Household radios comprised the largest share of sales for AWA, but they also manufactured equipment and parts for industry, such as this broadcast console.

The function of the console was to regulate all the audio signals (such as microphones, instruments, pre-recorded sounds) and combine them into one signal for broadcast.
