Use the included AC adapter (PS-M1524) to connect a power supply to the unit as shown below.
Power outlet
text_image
DC plug TASCAM PS-M1524 (included)CAUTION
Always use the AC adapter (PS-M1524) that was shipped with the unit. Using a different AC adapter could cause malfunction, overheating, fire or other problems.
NOTE
The AC adapter for the unit includes two types of adapter cords. Attach the type of AC adapter cord that matches the power outlet that you are using.
Attaching the cord
In order to prevent the cord from becoming disconnected during use, attach it to the cord holder (30) when connecting it to the unit.
text_image
DC IN 15V- Remove the cord holder (30) screw.
- Place the cord in the cord holder (30).
- Tighten the cord holder (30) screw.
Connecting other equipment
This is an example of MZ-223 connections.
Precautions before making connections
Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then connect them correctly.
Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
install all connected devices, including this unit, so that they are powered from the same line. When using a power strip or similar device, be sure to use one that has high current capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize fluctuations in power voltage.
When connecting audio devices, minimize the channel 1-5 GAIN knobs (27) and faders (8), and the OUTPUT VOL (11) and PHONES VOLUME (21) knobs. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.

Examples of connections to an MZ-223
Connecting microphones
Use the MIC 1-2 INPUT jacks (①) on the front of the unit to connect mics.
Connecting electronic devices and other audio equipment
When connecting an electronic device or other audio equipment, connect it to channel 1-5 LINE A or B jacks (35).
When connected to channel 1–2 LINE A input jacks, set the LINE/PHONO (29) input switch to LINE.
Connecting record players
When connecting a record player, connect it to channel 1–2 LINE A (35) jacks, and set the LINE/PHONO (29) input switch to PHONO.
Connect the grounding wire from the record player to the ± (GND) (28) connector.
Connecting monitor speakers
Connect monitor speakers (powered speakers or an amplifier and speaker system) to the MONITOR OUT (32) jacks.
To mix in the mic input signals from the MIC 1-2 INPUT (①) jacks, and output them from the monitor speakers, set the MONITOR OUT (②5) mic mix switch to WITH MIC.
NOTE
- You can make selections with the MONITOR SELECT switches (14), and monitor signals before outputting them from the MAIN OUTPUTS 1-3 (UNBALANCED) (34) and MAIN OUTPUTS 1-3 (BALANCED) (33) jacks.
- Monitored sounds are affected by the output equalizers.
Connecting headphones
Connect headphones to the PHONES (22) jack (standard stereo).
You can monitor input channel pre-fader signals and signals before they are sent to the stereo output bus.
Use the MONITOR SELECT (14) switches to select the outputs that you want to monitor.
CAUTION
Before connecting headphones, minimize the volume with the PHONES VOLUME (21) knob. Failure to do so could result in a sudden loud noise that could harm hearing, for example.
NOTE
Sounds output from headphones are affected by the output equalizers.
Connecting stereo amplifiers
When connecting a stereo amplifier, connect it to the MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (UNBALANCED) (34) or MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (BALANCED) (33) jacks.
TIP
- When connecting 2 or more amplifier and speaker systems, including main and sub, main and monitoring, or front and rear combinations, using the MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (UNBALANCED) (24) and MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (BALANCED) (33) jacks could be convenient. Moreover, the outputs of the jacks are independent and have their own dedicated output knobs, so you can set the output levels separately with this unit.
- By connecting a recorder to MONITOR OUT (32) jacks, the signal output to amplifier/speaker systems can be recorded.
Turning the power on and off
CAUTION
- Turn down the volume of the sound system connected to the unit before starting up or shutting down the unit.
- Do not wear connected headphones when turning the unit on and off. Loud noises could damage the speakers or harm your hearing.
Before turning the power on
- Make the following settings on the front of the unit.
• EQ knobs → center values
- Other knobs → all the way left (MIN side)
- Faders → all the way down
- Switches → off (not pushed in)
- Minimize the output levels of audio sources and input levels of amplifiers connected to this unit.
Turning the power on
- Use the POWER (24) switch on the back of the unit to turn its power on.
The POWER (15) indicator on the front of the unit will light when on. - Turn connected input audio source devices on.
- Finally turn amplifiers on.
Turning the power off
Follow the procedures above in reverse when turning the power off.
Failure to follow the correct order could result in clicking noises, for example, that might damage equipment.
Operation procedures
After turning the power on, adjust the levels of the input signals.
Adjusting line input channels (1–5)
- Set the channel 1–5 GAIN knobs (27) to their center positions.
- Press the channel 1–5 SOURCE SELECT switches (10), so that the SOURCE SELECT indicator (A/B) lights.
- Press the channel 1–5 OUTPUT SEL switches (19) to select the output channel stereo buses (1–3) that receive the input signals of each channel.
- When connecting an audio device to channel 1–2 LINE A/B (35) input jacks, set the LINE/PHONE switch (29) to LINE.
- Set the OUTPUT VOL (⑪) knob levels low.
- Start playback on the connected audio device. Use the GAIN knobs (27) to adjust the levels so that the channel 1–5 PEAK indicators (9) do not light red.
- Follow the above procedures to adjust other line input channels with connected audio devices.
Adjusting the inputs of mics connected to the MAIN MIC 1–2 INPUT jacks
- Connect a mic to a MIC 1-2 INPUT jack (①), and press the MIC 1-2 switch (⑦) so that the MIC 1-2 indicator (⑦) lights.
- Press OUTPUT SELECT switches (②) to select outputs for signals input through the MIC 1-2 INPUT jacks (①).
- While checking the MIC 1-2 INPUT (⑤) and PEAK (④) indicators, use the MIC 1-2 INPUT VOLUME knobs (③) to adjust the mic input levels.
- Use the MIC 1-2 INPUT EQ knobs (⑥) to adjust the 3-band (HIGH/MID/LOW) equalizers.
Output channels
Output signals can be sent to the following jacks from the stereo output bus after the output equalizer.
MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (UNBALANCED) (34) and MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (BALANCED) (33) jacks
MONITOR OUT jacks (32)
NOTE
The output level from the MONITOR OUT (32) jacks cannot be adjusted.
Adjusting the levels output from the MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (UNBALANCED) and MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (BALANCED) jacks
While checking the output level indicators (12), use the channel faders (8) and OUTPUT VOL (11) knobs to adjust the output levels. The optimal output level adjustment is usually when the output level indicators (12) light around 0 dB.
When an amplifier is connected to the MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (UNBALANCED) (34) or MAIN OUTPUTS 1–3 (BALANCED) (33) jacks, set the ATTENUATOR (26) switch to OFF if it accepts high gain or ON (-6dB) if it accepts low gain.
Use the OUTPUT EQ knobs (13) to adjust the 3-band (HIGH/MID/LOW) equalizers for the output sound.
Using the talkover function
When the talkover function is turned on by pressing the TALKOVER ON switch (18), the levels of channels 1 will be automatically lowered when sound is input from a mic connected to a MIC 1-2 INPUT (1) jack, making the mic signal easier to hear.
To turn the talkover function off, press the TALKOVER ON (18) switch to disable it (TALKOVER ON (18) indicator becomes unlit).
Use the TALKOVER DAMP (16) and TALKOVER TIME (17) knobs to adjust the attenuation level and response time.
Listening to channel pre-fader signals
By pressing the PFL (20) switches of channels to turn them on, you can enable headphone monitoring of individual channels 1–5, even when their faders (8) are set at minimum values.
-
Press PFL (20) switches so that their PFL indicators light, and turn the MIXING (23) knob to PFL. To monitor the signal before it is sent to the stereo output bus, turn the MIXING (23) knob to MONITOR.
-
Use the PHONES VOLUME (21) knob to adjust the monitoring output level.
