0Share

If you don’t enjoy lugging around bushels of gear for live shows, recording sessions, practice sessions, and podcasts, the Zoom LiveTrack L-12 digital mixer will raise an interested eyebrow or two. Designed to be flexible, simple, and space-saving, the L-12 offers 16 built-in effects, nine mixer scenes, multiple monitor outputs, and multi-channel recording and mixing capabilities. All of this fits in a compact unit about the size of a briefcase.

The L-12 has eight high-gain, low-noise mic preamps with XLR-1/4” combo jacks as well as two pairs of stereo inputs via 1/4” and RCA jacks. There are XLR master outputs, stereo 1/4” monitor outputs, and five independent 1/4” stereo headphone outputs. Per-channel fader, mute, and rec/play select functions allow for quick mixing operations. Eight of the 12 input channels feature +48V phantom power, -26 dB pads, and dedicated single-knob compression. Each channel’s SEL button allows you to easily manipulate panning and effects send level. All channels, including the EFX return and master output, feature 12-segment LED meters and 3-band EQ with low cut.

Import and export projects or audio files via SD card or flash drive, record up to 12 tracks at up to 96 kHz on an SD card, or stream 14 channels of audio at up to 48 kHz via USB to a computer or iOS device running your favorite audio app. The auto-record function enables a specified dB level to trigger recording and provides a 2-second “pre-record” capture so you’ll never miss the start of a set. The L-12 sports a metronome to give musicians a stable tempo reference and a built-in slate mic for talkback functionality. It even offers switchable latency adjustment for delay-free overdubbing. No one wants latency for overdubbing.

Support for multiple footswitch functions is offered and easy access to device parameters and project management is provided via a backlit LCD screen and rotary encoder. The LiveTrack L-12 ships with an AC adapter and USB cable. 

For live concerts, studio- and home-based recording, podcasting, or multi-source mixing at conferences or meetings, the L-12 has the versatility to let you spend more time working and less time carting around equipment.
