Tascam MZ-123BT

Compact analog mixer for background music and paging in three zones
The Tascam MZ-123BT is a compact (1U) audio mixer with multiple zone inputs and outputs for professional installations. It provides flexible routing, mixing, and distribution of up to three channels of music and paging for a wide variety of commercial applications: retail outlets, restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, or any environment requiring independent routing and paging capabilities. Featuring a simple and intuitive user interface for ease of use, the MZ-123BT Bluetooth mixer is equipped with two versatile microphone inputs and automatic background music attenuation for improved intelligibility during voice announcements.

Audio Control and Assignment to Separate Zones
Three separate zone outputs, with adjustable levels, allow background music to be routed to the desired zones or rooms in a restaurant, hotel, retail outlet, or other commercial environment.

Three Euroblock Outputs
Three pairs of balanced stereo outputs on Euroblock connectors, for fixed installation, are accessible from the rear panel. Each output can be set to mono or stereo mode.

Three Stereo Inputs for Audio Sources
Two stereo line inputs (RCA/cinch, unbalanced) allow the connection of audio/video devices, such as a Tascam CD player, USB and SD media, or similar playback source. Channel 3 features an Aux/Bluetooth input for connecting an additional audio source, via Bluetooth streaming or a 3.5mm mini jack. Each input has a volume control and three zone assignment buttons, allowing the audio signal to be routed to the desired rooms or zones.

External Bluetooth Antenna for Improved Wireless Connection Stability
The MZ-123BT features a dedicated Bluetooth antenna on the front panel, providing improved wireless connection stability and reliability when streaming Bluetooth audio—even in the most congested wireless environments.

Two Microphone Inputs on Euroblock Connectors
For announcements or moderators, the MZ-123BT offers two microphone inputs, each with switchable 48-volt phantom power for condenser microphones, talkover functionality, and zone selection via front-panel buttons.

Two microphones can be connected to the Euroblock connectors on the rear panel, and an additional Combo connector (XLR/TRS jack) on the front panel allows for quick connection of another microphone, with selection via a front-panel button.

Three-band EQ, gain control, and switchable high-pass filter
The rear panel features potentiometers for adjusting the gain and three EQ bands (Low, Mid, High), as well as a low-pass filter activation switch for each input, allowing for optimal input level, sound quality, and vocal tone for each microphone.

Talkover function for clear announcements
The Talkover function automatically detects the microphone input signal during audio playback and attenuates the background music level in selected areas, ensuring optimal intelligibility during voice announcements. The threshold level and release time (automatic attenuation timing) are adjustable via controls on the rear panel, allowing for precise level reduction and a gradual return of the background music to previously set levels.

Simple Control Layout, Easy to Use
The intuitive front-panel layout of channel volume, output level, zone selection, and Bluetooth pairing controls facilitates basic operation for non-technical teams and individuals. More advanced system and operational settings (EQ, gain, threshold) are accessible via dedicated potentiometers on the rear panel.

Compact Dimensions, 1 Rack Unit
Thanks to its reduced height (1 rack unit), the MZ-123BT is designed to fit seamlessly into an existing A/V rack, and its optimized depth leaves more space for connections with other A/V devices, such as Tascam CD players and USB and SD media.
