Zoom LiveTrak L12next

Zoom introduces the LiveTrak L12next Digital Mixer & Recorder, which combines the power of a digital mixer with analog-style operation. Three knobs per channel deliver High/Mid/Low EQ, and with a simple switch, you can adjust gain, pan, and sends, offering hands-on mixing like a classic analog console. The L12next puts you in total control, letting you mix with speed and confidence, whether you’re on stage or in the rehearsal room. In addition to 60mm faders, each channel has three multi-function encoder knobs, giving you analog style control of gain, EQ, compression, panning, and sends. No more scrolling through menus.

The L12next’s upgraded preamps deliver clean gain (+70dB), low noise (–128dBu EIN), and full input flexibility with Hi-Z, PAD, and +48 V phantom power. The L12next has advanced recording features and captures up to 14 tracks at 24-bit/96kHz plus a stereo mix. Its new OLED screen streamlines recording controls and setup. Newly added features such as Overdub Mode and Auto Punch In/Out allow precise layering and easy re-recording. The new File Select button allows you to easily load additional tracks to expand your mix.

The L12next’s master channel captures your mix in 32-bit float for pristine, clip-free sound, while the master Compressor adds warm, natural compression that enhances the overall mix. With five independent Monitor Outs, every musician can have a personal mix. Outputs support stereo for headphones and in-ears, or mono for stage monitors, making it flexible for live or studio use The sound engineer’s output lets you quickly monitor and adjust both the master and each monitor out mix. Use the built-in Talkback function for easy communication between the engineer and musicians.

The L12next stores up to 10 scene memories, saving fader positions, EQ, pan, mutes, effects, and more. Instantly recall mixes for live performances or recording in the studio. The L12next’s LED meters show the volume level of each channel and setting of each encoder. The new Fader Position button lets you quickly view saved fader positions when recalling scenes. Enhance your sound with 16 onboard effects, such as delays and reverbs,with two easily accessible parameter controls.
