DESCRIPTION
Digital mixing meets analog simplicity with the Zoom LiveTrak L-12next — a powerful all-in-one mixer and recorder designed for today’s creators, performers, and producers. Whether you're running live sound, rehearsing with your band, or capturing multi-track recordings, the L12next puts complete control right at your fingertips.
Unlike traditional digital mixers that bury key functions in menus, the L12next delivers hands-on, analog-style workflow. Each channel features three dedicated multi-function encoder knobs for instant control of High/Mid/Low EQ — and with a simple switch, you can quickly adjust gain, pan, compression, and sends. Paired with smooth 60mm faders, mixing feels fast, intuitive, and musical.
For live performance, the L12next gives you the confidence to react in real time. Its significantly upgraded preamps provide up to +70dB of clean gain with ultra-low noise performance (–128 dBu EIN), ensuring studio-quality sound on stage or in the rehearsal room. With Hi-Z inputs for guitars and bass, PAD switches for hot signals, and +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, every channel is ready for any source.
When it’s time to record, the L12next captures up to 14 individual tracks plus a stereo mix at 24-bit/96kHz resolution. The newly integrated OLED screen streamlines setup and navigation, making session management faster and more efficient. Creative tools like Overdub Mode and Auto Punch In/Out allow for seamless layering and precise re-recording, while the File Select button lets you quickly load additional tracks to expand your mix.
Your final mix is captured in stunning 32-bit float on the master channel, delivering pristine, clip-free audio with extended dynamic range. The built-in master compressor adds warmth and natural glue, ensuring your mix sounds polished and professional.
From live gigs to studio sessions, the L12next reimagines digital mixing — combining flexibility, clarity, and tactile control into one powerful creative hub.
