The TASCAM MZ-223 is a versatile 22-input zone mixer in a convenient 2U rackmount format. A comprehensive selection of I/O accommodates just about any source, including turntables. Select, mute, and contour your audio sources with an intuitive array of volume faders, toggle switches, and EQ knobs. This mixer features three stereo zone outputs with separate volume controls, along with balanced and unbalanced connectors. You also get a master recording stereo output, which sends audio to an external recorder. Two additional front-panel combo inputs include studio-quality mic preamps and ducking circuits for voice-overs and announcements. Ideal for permanent installations, the MZ-223 is a flexible routing and mixing solution.
Enough flexible I/O to accommodate 5 stereo audio sources
If you've got a lot of audio sources, you're in luck. The MZ-223 can handle up to five stereo audio sources and mix, mute, and route them to its three stereo zone outputs. Its flexible array of I/O includes five channels with two sets of unbalanced RCA stereo pairs on each — that's a total of 20 RCA inputs. Channels 1 and 2 can be set to accommodate phono-level signals for use with turntables. You also get two additional front-panel combo inputs with great-sounding microphone preamps and ducking circuits that are ideal for voice-overs and announcements.
3 stereo zone outputs with separate volume controls
The TASCAM MZ-223 features three stereo zone outputs with both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors, so integrating it into your existing audio system will be child's play. Any combination of microphones, media players, or instruments can be selected or muted and sent simultaneously to the MZ-223's outputs. And since each output has its own volume control, you have complete control over the sound levels in each zone. Finally, the ducking circuits on the front-panel combo inputs automatically lower any mixed channel source when you speak into a microphone, so your listeners won't miss a word.
Intuitive front panel for easy, immediate control
Gracing the front of the MZ-223 is an intuitive set of volume faders, toggle buttons and switches, EQ knobs, and mute buttons. Capturing an event or performance is easy, thanks to a master recording stereo output, which can route audio to an external recorder. We're impressed with the MZ-223's incredible ease of use. Even if an individual knows next to nothing about audio, they'll be able to operate this rackmount mixer.
