Tascam MZ-223 - TRIPLE OUTPUT ZONE MIXER

The MZ-223 allows multiple audio sources to be mixed, segregated, and routed to 3 independent zones or destinations using familiar volume sliders and assignment buttons. Input signals can be inserted via 5 audio channels, each consisting of 2 sets of unbalanced RCA stereo pairs. A total of 10 sets of RCA inputs are provided. Channels 1 and 2 can be set to accommodate phono-level signals for use with a turntable. In addition located conveniently on the front panel, 2 mic-compatible XLR inputs are available.

The independent 3-zone outputs each have a combination of balanced professional XLR or RCA unbalanced configurations for long runs or connection to common residential power amplifiers or speakers. This flexibility, for example, allows music to be routed to ZONE1, ambient noise or natural sounds to ZONE2, a separate music track or a voice announcement can be routed to ZONE3, while the convenient “Talkover” function will automatically lower any mixed channel source so the microphone can be heard while speaking.

Familiar volume sliders, routing switches/buttons, EQ knobs, and mute buttons for the microphones make the MZ-223 simple and fast to operate and set up. There is even a master recording stereo output, which can send audio to an external recorder which makes event capturing easy. The MZ-223 delivers simple operation and maximum audio routing flexibility, all in a compact, affordable package.

The volume can be adjusted individually for the three output lines. When installing multiple speakers in each area such as at a shop, public facility, or office, the volume for each can be controlled from a single unit. Each output has a stereo LED level meter. This allows you to check the volume balance of the entire system. You can also use the 3-band equalizer to adjust the tone for each area.
