Craft professional-quality live mixes
The LiveTrak L-12 makes crafting pro-quality live mixes easy. Each of its 12 discrete channels features a 3-band mid-parametric EQ and 16 built-in effects. Eight combo jacks accommodate both XLR and 1/4″ connectors and are loaded with great-sounding mic preamps and dedicated compressors. Channels 1–2 offer hi-Z inputs for your electric guitar or bass, while channels 9/10 and 11/12 have TRS and RCA connectivity for keyboards and other audio devices. You also get clear 12-segment LED metering for keeping an eye on your levels.
Produce great-sounding recordings
Recording your entire band has never been simpler, thanks to the Zoom LiveTrak L-12. Twelve individual tracks are conveniently captured onto an SD card at 24-bit/96kHz. You can then mix and overdub directly within the L-12 using its onboard effects or transfer the entire project to your DAW for further editing and processing. If you’re performing live, you can record and mix your show simultaneously. You can even set up the L-12 to record automatically when the master fader detects a certain decibel level — perfect for situations where the engineer and performer are the same people.
Create five custom headphone mixes
With the LiveTrack L-12, you don’t need separate personal monitor mixers — the monitoring is built in. Each of its five discrete monitor outputs provides a custom mix, so each member of your band can create and save their own. The L-12’s headphone amplifier delivers lots of volume — even drummers won’t have a difficult time hearing.
More than a mere digital mixer
The Zoom LiveTrak-L-12 Digital Mixer is equipped with several operation modes. Put it in Audio Interface mode and the L-12 transforms into a 14-in/4-out USB interface for your Mac, PC, or iOS device with flexible routing options. In USB Host mode, you can transfer projects and files to a connected USB flash drive. Card Reader mode allows you to transfer files to and from your computer.
USB CONNECTIVITY FOR YOUR DAW
LiveTrak is also a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface with flexible routing options, offering unlimited possibilities. Class compliant mode, which enables connection with iOS devices, is also supported.*
