This compact 1U mixer offers seamless routing, mixing, and distribution of up to three audio channels, making it an ideal solution for venues requiring independent audio routing and announcement functionalities.

The MZ-123BT is Bluetooth-enabled, allowing for wireless audio streaming, and features a user-friendly interface that simplifies operation for non-technical staff. It is equipped with two versatile microphone inputs, each with +48V phantom power, ensuring superior voice clarity during announcements or paging.

This mixer boasts three discrete zone outputs with individual volume controls, enabling precise audio distribution to specific areas or rooms. Each output is accessible via Euroblock connectors on the back panel, with a MONO/STEREO switch provided for each output to tailor the audio experience to your needs.

The TASCAM MZ-123BT features three input channels, including stereo LINE Inputs 1 and 2 (RCA, Unbalanced) for connecting AV equipment like TASCAM CD/Solid State Players. The Channel 3 AUX/Bluetooth Input offers additional flexibility, allowing audio sources to connect via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm mini plug. Each input channel is equipped with a volume control knob and a zone routing button, facilitating easy audio distribution to the desired zones.

For advanced audio configuration, the back panel provides dedicated knobs for EQ, Gain, and Threshold settings, allowing precise control over room level, tonal quality, and voicing character for each microphone channel. The integrated Talkover function automatically detects microphone input during audio playback, attenuating background music in the selected zone to ensure clear voiceover announcements. Adjustments for Mic Threshold Level and Timing (release time) are also available on the back panel, ensuring smooth transitions back to pre-set music levels.

A dedicated front-panel Bluetooth antenna ensures stable wireless connectivity, even in challenging signal environments, making the TASCAM MZ-123BT a reliable choice for any commercial audio setup.
