Description

Ideal for commercial use – dual zone outputs for two different spaces

Designed with commercial use in mind, the MZ-372 features everything you need to play background music and make announcements across multiple spaces. With dual zone output, the mixer allows you to route music across two different spaces with dedicated rotary controls for volume level. Perfect for commercial businesses such as bars, cafes, restaurants and hotels; the MZ-372 provides all the controls and connections you need for professional-grade sound routing.

The rear of the unit features three stereo balanced outputs with RCA unbalanced connections on each of the main outputs. Each output is accompanied by a switch allowing you to toggle between high and low output levels. The onboard ‘Talkover’ function will duck the volume of your background music when it detects a microphone’s signal, allowing for clear and intelligible announcements.

Six mic/line input channels and front-panel mic connection

Using the range of mic/line connections, you can incorporate a range of playback sources using including record players, CD players, media players and other playback devices. Each of the six channels comes with gain controls and a three-band EQ as well as faders for controlling volume and LED level meters. There is also a headphone output with a dedicated volume control so you can monitor each zone individually or simultaneously. The front-panel also features a dedicated XLR/TRS combination microphone input with two-band EQ and volume control.

Versatile rear-panel connectivity

Designed for use with a wide variety of audio gear; the rear-panel of the MZ-372 comes equipped with a range of connection options. Three of six channels feature switchable line/phono connectivity so you can route up to three record players depending on your needs. In total, the rear panel features two sets of unbalanced RCA stereo pairs and a balanced XLR connector, totalling twelve sets of RCA inputs and six XLR inputs. The XLR inputs can also be used as additional, microphone inputs using the two-position mic/line switch.
