Connecting other equipment
This is an example of MZ-372 connections.
Precautions before making connections
0Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then connect them correctly.
0Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
0Install 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 mini-
mize fluctuations in power voltage.
0When connecting audio devices, minimize the channel 1–6 GAIN (4) knobs and faders (6), and the MAIN
OUTPUT VOL (8), SUB OUTPUT VOL (q) and PHONES VOLUME (i) 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-372
TASCAM MZ-372 13
Connecting microphones
Mics can be connected to the MAIN MIC INPUT (w)
jack on the front of the unit or to one of the channel
1–6 C (MONO) /MIC (h) input jacks on the back of
the unit with the INPUT LEVEL (j) switch set to MIC.
Connecting electronic devices and other
audio equipment
When connecting an electronic device or other audio
equipment, connect it to channel 1–6 C (MONO) /
MIC (h) input jacks, and set the INPUT LEVEL switch
(j) to LINE. The device can be connected to channel
1–6 LINE A or B (v) input jacks.
When connected to channel 2–4 LINE A (v) input
jacks, set the LINE/PHONO (k) input switch to LINE.
NOTE
The C (MONO) /MIC (h) jacks are mono inputs.
Connecting record players
When connecting a record player, connect it to
channel 2–4 LINE A (v) input jacks, and set the LINE/
PHONO (k) input switch to PHONO.
Connect the grounding wire from the record player
to the | (GND) (b) connector.
Connecting monitor speakers
Connect monitor speakers (powered speakers or an
amplifier and speaker system) to the MONITOR OUT
(z) jacks.
To mix in the mic input signal from the MAIN MIC
INPUT (w) jack, and output it from the monitor
speakers, set the MONITOR OUT (s) mic mix switch
to WITH MIC.
Connecting headphones
Connect headphones to the PHONES (p) jack (stan-
dard stereo).
You can monitor input channel pre-fader signals and
the signal before it is sent to the stereo output bus.
CAUTION
Before connecting headphones, minimize the vol-
ume with the PHONES VOLUME (i) knob. Failure
to do so could result in a sudden loud noise that
could harm hearing, for example.
NOTE
Since the headphone sound is output from the
monitoring bus, the position of the MAIN OUT-
PUT VOL (8) knob has no effect on it.
Connecting stereo amplifiers
When connecting a stereo amplifier, connect it to the
MAIN OUTPUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED) (f) or MAIN
OUTPUTS 1-2 (BALANCED) (c) jacks.
TIP
i When connecting 2 or more amplifier and speaker
systems, including main and sub, main and mon-
itoring, or front and rear combinations, using the
MAIN OUTPUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED) (f), MAIN
OUTPUTS 1-2 (BALANCED) (c), and SUB OUT-
PUT (x) 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.
i By connecting a recorder to MONITOR OUT
(z) jacks, the signal output to amplifier/speaker
systems can be recorded.
Turning the power on and off
CAUTION
i Turn down the volume of the sound system con-
nected to the unit before starting up or shutting
down the unit.
i Do not wear connected headphones when turn-
ing the unit on and off. Loud noises could damage
the speakers or harm your hearing.
Before turning the power on
1. Make the following settings on the front of the
unit.

Output channels
Output signals can be sent to the following jacks from
the stereo output bus.
0MAIN OUTPUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED) (f) and
MAIN OUTPUTS 1-2 (BALANCED) (c) jacks
0SUB OUTPUT (x) jacks
0MONITOR OUT (z) jacks
NOTE
The output level from the MONITOR OUT (z)
jacks cannot be adjusted.
Adjusting the levels output from the MAIN
OUTPUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED) and MAIN
OUTPUTS 1-2 (BALANCED) jacks
While checking the output level indicators (7), use
the channel faders (6) and MAIN OUTPUT VOL (8)
knobs to adjust the output levels. The optimal output
level adjustment is usually when the output level
indicators (7) light around 0 dB.
When an amplifier is connected to the MAIN OUT-
PUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED) (f) or MAIN OUTPUTS
1-2 (BALANCED) (c) jacks, set the ATTENUATOR (g)
switch to OFF if it accepts high gain or ON (-6dB) if it
accepts low gain.
Adjusting the level output from the SUB
OUTPUT jacks
Use the SUB OUTPUT VOL (q) knob to adjust the
output level.
If the MONO (0) switch is set to ON (MONO indicator
lit) mono signals will be output from all output jacks.
To output mono signals from only the SUB OUTPUT
(x) jacks, set the SUB OUTPUT (d) switch to MONO.

Using the talkover function
When the talkover function is turned on by pressing
the TALKOVER (3) switch, the levels of channels 1–6
will be automatically lowered when sound is input
from a mic connected to the MAIN MIC INPUT (w)
jack, making the mic signal easier to hear.
To turn the talkover function off, press the TALKOVER
(3) switch to turn it off (TALKOVER (3) indicator
becomes unlit).
Listening to channel pre-fader signals
By pressing the PFL (y) switches of channels to turn
them on, you can enable headphone monitoring of
individual channels 1–6, even when their faders (6)
are set at minimum values.
You can also monitor the signal before it is sent to the
stereo output bus.
1. Press the PFL (y) switches for the channels you
want to monitor so that their PFL indicators light,
and turn the MIXING (u) knob to PFL.
To monitor the signal before it is sent to the
stereo output bus, turn the MIXING (u) knob to
MONITOR.
2. After making mixing adjustments, use the
PHONES VOLUME (i) knob to adjust the moni-
toring output level.
NOTE
i The L/R SPLIT (o) switch can be turned on/off to
change the headphone output mode.
i When the L/R SPLIT switch (o) is on (indicator
lit), the pre-fader signals are output from the left
channel and the monitoring signal is output from
the right channel.
i When the L/R SPLIT switch (o) is off (indicator
unlit), the pre-fader signals and the monitoring
signal are mixed and output together from both
headphone channels.
i When the PFL (y) switch is off, if the L/R SPLIT
(o) switch is set to on, the monitoring signal
will be output from the right channel and no
sound will be output from the left channel of the
