Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM LiveTrak L-12 ( ). The has the
following features.
12-channel digital mixer & multitrack recorder
The combines a digital mixer with 12 total input channels (8 mono and 2 stereo),
a multitrack recorder that can simultaneously record up to 14 tracks, and a 14-in/4-out
USB audio interface. Compact and lightweight, this digital mixer is easy to transport and
can even be used with PA systems for live performances in rehearsal studios, cafés and
other small venues.
High-quality mic preamps
The has high-quality mic preamps built-in for 8 channels. The high-quality ana-
log inputs, which can provide +48V phantom power, have a −128dBu or better EIN rating
and +60dB maximum input gain. In addition, channels 1 and 2 also support Hi-Z input,
while channels 3 to 8 have PAD functions (26dB attenuation), enabling them to accept
high levels of input.
5 MONITOR OUT channels
In addition to the MASTER OUT, the also has 5 MONITOR OUT channels. The
MONITOR OUT mixes can be set separately for each output. Since these support head-
phone output, headphones are all that are needed to send different mixes to each per-
former.
Digital mixer that can be operated intuitively
Opening menus is not necessary with the . Every mixer parameter can be con-
trolled with knobs and keys just like an analog mixer. Each channel has a 3-band EQ,
and the mono channels have compressor functions. The mixer also includes high-quality
send effects. In addition, up to 9 mixer status scenes can be saved in the unit.
Recorder can simultaneously record 14 tracks and play 12 tracks
The can simultaneously record every channel and the master fader stereo signal
output for a total of 14 tracks. Since the recorded data is saved in 16/24-bit, 44.1/48/96kHz
WAV format, the files can easily be copied to a computer and used in a DAW. In addition,
overdubbing and punching in/out can be done as expected with a multitrack recorder.
14-in/4-out USB audio interface
The can be used as a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface. The signals from each in-
put and the master fader output can be recorded in a DAW. In addition, signals output
from a computer can also be assigned to a stereo channel.
Class compliant mode, which enables connection with iOS devices, is also supported.
