Tascam MZ-123BT – Compact Multi-Zone Audio Mixer with Bluetooth

Description

Full Description

Ideal for commercial use – three zone outputs for three spaces

Designed with commercial use in mind, the MZ-123BT features everything you need to play background music and make announcements across multiple spaces. With three zone outputs in total, the mixer allows you to route music across three different spaces with dedicated rotary controls for volume level. Perfect for commercial businesses such as bars, cafes, restaurants and hotels; the MZ-123BT provides all the controls and connections you need for professional-grade sound routing.

The rear of the unit features three pairs of balanced stereo outputs with Euroblock connectors – ideal for fixes installations. Each output is accompanied by a switch allowing you to toggle between mono and stereo modes. 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.

Three stereo input channels and Bluetooth connectivity

You can incorporate a range of playback sources thanks to the three stereo input channels comprised of two stereo in inputs and an AUX/Bluetooth input. The two stereo line inputs (RCA, unbalanced) are perfect for integrating audio gear such as solid-state players, media players and other playback devices.

The built-in Bluetooth connection allows you to stream music wirelessly, directly to the mixer from a Bluetooth-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet. Each input comes with its own dedicated volume control knob with three zone routing buttons for audio distribution in different spaces. The front panel of the mixer features an external Bluetooth antenna ensuring high-speed signal transmission and stable wireless connectivity.

Dual mic inputs with 48V Phantom Power

You can utilise studio-grade microphones to make your announcements thanks to the inclusion of 48V Phantom Power. The two pristine microphone inputs feature talkover functionality as well as zone selection with the front-panel buttons. There is a front-panel XLR/TRS combo connection as well as two rear-panel Euroblock connectors.

Three-band EQ and high-pass filter

For advanced users, you can shape your sound to suit any space using the onboard three-band equaliser and switchable high-pass filter. The rear of the unit features three gain controls knobs for each band (low, mid, high) as well as gain control knobs. You can also shape your sound further using the high-pass filter, allowing you to set the input level and tonal character for each microphone.
