Its onboard recorder captures 14 individual tracks at 24-bit/96kHz, while a 32-bit float master channel ensures clip-free results.

The L12Next features a 14-in/4-out USB-C audio interface for seamless integration with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android devices, while simultaneously recording to an SD card. Five independent monitor outputs and a built-in talkback allow each performer to receive custom headphone mixes. Its vivid OLED display and LED meters make monitoring and adjustment intuitive, and optional accessories like the Zoom FS01 footswitch and RKL-12 rackmount kit expand its versatility. Compact yet robust, the LiveTrak L12Next is perfect for studio production, live performance, and streaming, delivering professional-quality audio and hands-on control in a portable package.
