Tascam MZ-223

The Tascam MZ-223 is a 22-channel zone mixer in a compact 2U 19-inch rack format. This mixer is designed for fixed installations where reliability and ease of use are key. Thanks to its extensive connectivity options, you'll effortlessly connect a variety of audio sources, including turntables. Clear volume faders, switches and EQ knobs allow you to precisely adjust each source. The MZ-223 features three stereo zone outputs, each with its own volume control and equipped with both balanced and unbalanced connections. In addition, a separate master stereo output is available to pass audio to an external recorder. At the front are two additional combo inputs with studio-quality microphone preamps. These are equipped with ducking function, ideal for public address systems or presentations where speech has priority over music.

Ample connectivity for 5 stereo audio sources
The Tascam MZ-223 is ideal for installations with multiple audio sources. This zone mixer handles up to five stereo audio sources simultaneously and offers full control over mixing, muting and routing to three separate stereo zone outputs. Each of the five channels features two unbalanced RCA stereo inputs, making a total of 20 RCA inputs. Channels 1 and 2 are adjustable for phono level, allowing you to connect turntables directly. This makes the MZ-223 an excellent choice for applications using both digital and analog sources. On the front you will also find two combo inputs with high-quality microphone preamplifiers. These feature ducking functionality, which automatically prioritizes voice over background music - perfect for announcements or presentations.

3 stereo zone outputs with separate volume control
The Tascam MZ-223 features three stereo zone outputs that are individually controllable. Each output features both balanced XLR jacks and unbalanced RCA connectors, making integration with existing audio systems easy. You can select or mute any combination of microphones, media players or instruments and send them to the desired zones simultaneously. Separate volume controls for each zone give you complete control over the sound level in each room. The ducking function on the front combo inputs ensures that as soon as you speak through the microphone, the volume of the other audio sources is automatically lowered. Thus, announcements always remain clearly intelligible, regardless of the music or other sources that are active.

Intuitive front controls for instant control
The front of the Tascam MZ-223 is designed to be uncluttered and user-friendly. Volume faders, switches, EQ knobs and mute buttons allow you to adjust the sound easily and quickly. Everything is instantly accessible, giving you instant control of your audio sources without cumbersome menus. In addition, the MZ-223 features a master stereo recording output that allows you to easily transfer audio to an external recorder. Ideal for capturing events, presentations or live use. The controls of this rack mixer are so logically structured that even users with no technical audio experience can get right to work with it. Perfect for situations where multiple people are working with the system.
