The TASCAM MZ-223 brings professional multi-zone audio control to compact installations with its powerful 2U rack-mounted design. This versatile mixer handles multiple audio sources simultaneously, routing music, microphone input, phonograph signals and more across three independent zones. Perfect for hotels, restaurants, meeting rooms and schools, the MZ-223 provides the flexibility needed for moderate-sized commercial audio installations where independent zone control is essential.
With five audio channels offering ten sets of RCA inputs plus two front-panel XLR microphone inputs, the MZ-223 accommodates diverse source material. Channels 1 and 2 can be configured for phono-level signals to connect turntables directly, while the balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs on each zone provide connection options for both professional and residential amplification systems. The intuitive front panel features familiar volume sliders, routing buttons, EQ controls and mute functions for straightforward operation.
Each of the three zones includes individual volume control, stereo LED level metering and 3-band equalisation for precise tonal adjustment. The built-in “Talkover” function automatically reduces background music levels when microphone input is detected, ensuring announcements cut through clearly. Additional features include PFL monitoring for pre-fader listening and a master recording output for capturing events, making the MZ-223 a comprehensive solution for multi-zone audio management in a single, affordable unit.
