    MZ-123 BT · Tascam

    8 for sale on Reverb1 finish at Thomann

    • Size19"
    • Weight3 kg

    You'll find this mixer fits best in a fixed spot, like a shop, school, or venue that needs announcements in several zones.

    • Three zone outputs, each with its own level control, for permanent installations
    • Two microphone inputs with level cut, low-cut filter and 48 V phantom power for each input

How to choose the best 19'' rack mixers

EQ

Don't underestimate the quality of the EQ. Cheap mixers often have a muddy, undefined EQ that just smears the frequencies instead of sculpting them. Look for a parametric EQ on at least a few channels if you want to really dial in your tone and cut through the mix.

Preamp Quality

The preamps are your first point of amplification, and they really impact the overall tone. A weak preamp can crush dynamics and add unwanted noise. Listen for clarity, headroom, and a natural response - you want to hear the instrument, not the preamp's coloration (unless that's what you're after).

Routing & Effects

How many aux sends do you really need? Do you want built-in effects like reverb and delay? Think about your workflow - do you need to send a drum bleed to the monitors, or run multiple vocal effects? More routing options give you more flexibility, but also add complexity.

Build Quality & Noise Floor

A flimsy chassis and cheap pots will rattle and fail you onstage. Equally important is the noise floor - a quiet mixer is a clean mixer. Listen carefully for hiss and hum, especially when pushing the gain. It's a pain to clean up a noisy signal later.

Headroom

This is crucial for loud gigs. Headroom dictates how much you can push the mixer before it starts to distort unpleasantly. Clipping is ugly - listen for that clean headroom before the breakup starts; you want a margin for those dynamic peaks.

Buying guide

Alright, so you're looking at a 19-inch rack mixer. Forget the tiny desktop mixers - these are for serious business: bigger bands, more complex rigs, and situations where you need something that can live in a touring setup or a professional studio. They're not always the prettiest, but a solid rack mixer can be the backbone of your sound, offering a ton of routing and processing options in a compact footprint. Let's break down what to look for before you drop some serious cash.

Rack mixers are a serious investment, so be realistic about your needs. Don't blow your budget on features you won't use. Cheaper mixers will almost always cut corners on preamp quality and EQ precision - you'll hear it.

Paying more often buys you better components, more routing options, and a quieter, more reliable experience, which translates to less frustration and a better-sounding show.

Questions

What's the difference between a rack mixer and a console?

Think of a rack mixer as a more compact, often more modular, version of a console. Consoles usually have a larger footprint and more dedicated features, while rack mixers prioritize space-saving and flexibility for touring or studio setups.

Can I use a rack mixer for recording?

Absolutely! Many rack mixers have direct outputs on each channel, making them ideal for recording individual tracks. Just be mindful of the preamp quality - a better preamp will result in a cleaner recording.

How many channels do I really need?

It's always better to have a few extra channels than to be constantly scrambling to connect gear. Consider your typical band size, plus any auxiliary equipment like backing tracks or effects processors.

What about digital rack mixers?

Digital rack mixers offer recallable settings, advanced routing, and often built-in processing. However, they can be more complex to learn and may introduce latency, which is a concern for live performance.

Are rackmount effects processors a good addition?

Definitely. Dedicated effects units often offer higher quality effects and more control than built-in options. Just factor in the extra space and cost.
