How do the preamps compare the Zoom F8? Tx.
Asked by: Wilhelmina
The L-20 preamps are slightly lower noise (-128dBu EIN vs -127dBu EIN), but cannot provide as much gain as the F8 (+60dB vs +75dB).

Can this mixer's monitor out in headphone mode be connected to the stereo line in of a PTZOptics camera?
Asked by: Daniel
Technically one of the Zoom LiveTrak L-20 - 20-Input Digital Mixer & Multitrack Recorder's line outputs could be connected to the line input on any device, but the headphone setting should not be selected as this will set the wrong impedance for a line input.

Do all tracks bypass onboard effects when ...

Do all tracks bypass onboard effects when recording 20 separate tracks to a SD card for import into a DAW for post production? I want to mix live with effects to FOH and monitors, but record all tracks without any effects for later import and mixing.
Asked by: Brian
All individual tracks will be recorded without any effects applied. If recording on the Master track, all effects will be heard on the recording to the Master track, but not on the individual tracks. The individual tracks can be set to record pre or post compressor in the Menu of the L-20.
