    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 expect surgical precision. At this price point, you're looking at mostly basic 3-band EQ. Does it give you enough flexibility to shape the tone and deal with feedback? That's the key.

Preamp Cleanliness

How much noise and hiss do you get? A clean preamp is essential for recording or when you need that subtle nuance. Excessive noise ruins everything.

Build Quality

Rackmount gear takes a beating. We're assessing the robustness of the chassis, the fader feel, and the overall construction - will it survive a few gigs?

Aux Sends/Returns

Crucial for effects loops and monitor mixes. More aux sends give you more creative options and flexibility for stage monitoring.

Headroom

How much can you push the mixer before it starts to distort unpleasantly? Headroom is especially important for louder bands or when you need a little bit of controlled breakup.

Buying guide

So, you need a rack mixer for gigs, rehearsals, or even tracking, but you're staring down a budget limit of $1000? It's a totally reasonable goal - you don't need to drop serious cash for something that'll get the job done. Forget those marketing buzzwords; we're focusing on practical solutions for real musicians who need a solid, reliable mixer without breaking the bank. Let's find you something that'll cut through the mix without emptying your wallet.

Under $1000, you're making compromises. Don't expect fully parametric EQ, premium preamps, or a perfectly silent noise floor. Focus on getting a mixer with enough aux sends for your monitor needs, a decent EQ to tame feedback, and a robust build that can handle gigging.

The faders will likely feel a bit plasticky, and the overall tone won't blow you away, but it'll be a reliable workhorse.

Questions

What's the difference between a 'clean' and a 'colored' preamp?

A 'clean' preamp aims for transparency, amplifying the signal without adding its own character. A 'colored' preamp intentionally adds harmonic distortion or saturation, which can be desirable for certain instruments or sounds, but might not be what you want for everything.

How many channels do I really need?

Be honest about your setup. A 16-channel mixer might seem overkill, but having extra channels for future expansion or unexpected inputs is always a good idea. Consider the number of mics, instruments, and aux sends you'll regularly use.

What about USB audio interface functionality?

Some rack mixers include USB audio interfaces, which can be convenient for recording. However, the quality is often basic. Don't rely on it for critical recording applications - a dedicated interface will almost always sound better.

Are used mixers a good option?

Absolutely! You can often find older, higher-end models within your budget on the used market. Just be sure to inspect it thoroughly for wear and tear, especially the faders and connectors.

Can I use this mixer for live streaming?

Yes, but you'll likely need an external audio interface for better audio quality and more control over your stream. Rack mixers at this price point are primarily designed for live sound reinforcement, not high-end streaming.
