Tascam MZ-123BT – 3-Zone Installation Mixer with Bluetooth

Product Overview

The TASCAM MZ-123BT is a compact 1U rack-mount 3-channel multi-zone installation mixer with Bluetooth wireless audio reception designed for retail stores, restaurants, bars, hotels, cafes, and any commercial space requiring independent audio routing, background music, and announcement capabilities. Three discrete zone outputs with individual volume controls allow different audio content to be sent to different areas of a venue simultaneously, and the Bluetooth input accepts audio from a paired mobile device without a physical connection.

Product Description

The MZ-123BT accepts three channels of stereo background music via RCA inputs, adds two mic inputs for announcements and paging, and routes any combination of these sources to three independent zone outputs via Euroblock connectors. Automatic background music attenuation activates whenever a microphone is keyed, ensuring announcement intelligibility without manual operator intervention. Bluetooth 4.2 or later allows a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to stream audio wirelessly as one of the music sources, useful for venues where a fixed media player is not practical or where visiting DJs or performers need a wireless connection point. Front-panel volume controls and source assignment make daily operation straightforward for non-technical staff. The Euroblock zone output connectors are suited to permanent installation wiring and connect to distributed amplifiers and speaker systems. The MZ-123BT is available at Creation Networks alongside the MZ-223 and MZ-372 for higher channel-count installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can different music play in each zone simultaneously on the MZ-123BT?

Yes. Each of the three zone outputs can be assigned different source combinations from the available input channels, allowing independent audio content per zone.

How does the Bluetooth input work?

The MZ-123BT pairs with a Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) and receives stereo audio wirelessly as one of the available music source inputs.

Does the automatic attenuation work independently per zone?

The mic attenuation function lowers background music when a microphone is active. Attenuation behavior can be configured for each zone output independently.

What type of connectors are the zone outputs?

Zone outputs use Euroblock (Phoenix/terminal block) connectors, standard for permanent installation wiring to distributed amplifiers and speaker systems.

What warranty applies to the MZ-123BT?

TASCAM products purchased through authorized dealers including Creation Networks carry TASCAM's standard limited warranty.
