Overview

LiveTrak L12next 12-Channel Digital Mixer & Multitrack Recorder

Digital Mixing Reimagined

The L12next combines the power of a digital mixer with analog-style operation. Three knobs per channel can deliver High/Mid/Low EQ control. With a simple switch you can also adjust gain, pan, and sends, offering hands-on mixing, just like an analog console.

Made for Live Performance

The L12next puts you in total control, letting you mix with speed and confidence, whether you’re on stage or in the rehearsal room.

Everything You Need, On Every Channel

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.

Significantly Upgraded Preamps

The L12next’s upgraded preamps deliver clean gain (+70dB), low noise (–128 dBu EIN), and full input flexibility with Hi-Z, PAD, and +48 V phantom power.

A Recorder for Every Session

The L12next has advanced recording features and captures up to 12 individual tracks at 24-bit/96 kHz, plus a stereo mix. Its new OLED screen streamlines recording controls and setup.

For Perfect Takes

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.

Your Final Mix is Ready

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.

Monitoring Options

Five Personal Mixes

With five independent Monitor Outs, each musician can have a personal mix. Outputs support a stereo mix for headphones and in-ears, or a mono mix for stage monitors, making it flexible for live or studio use.

For the Sound Guy

The fifth monitor output is designed specifically for the engineer, letting them quickly monitor and adjust both the master and every custom mix. The built-in Talkback function makes it easy for everyone to communicate.

Custom Scene Recall

The L12next stores up to 10 scene memories, saving fader positions, EQ, pan, mutes and effects. Instantly recall mixes for live performances or recording in the studio.

LED Meters

The L12next’s LED meters show the volume level and encoder position for each channel. The new Fader Position button lets you quickly view saved fader positions when recalling scenes.

A Little FX Goes a Long Way

Enhance your sound with 16 onboard effects, such as delays and reverbs, with two easily accessible parameter controls.

Wireless Mixing Control

Control your mix wirelessly with the L12next Control app for iPad. Adjust faders, scenes, EQ, effects, and more.

Audio Interface + Control Surface

The L12next is a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface for Mac, Windows, and mobile, supporting 32-bit float/96kHz recording and playback. Record to computer and SD card simultaneously, sync tracks, and even control your DAW.

Stream Ready

Going live? The L12next integrates seamlessly with streaming software, making it the ultimate hub for podcasts, performances, and online broadcasts.

Hands-Free Control

Connect the optional Zoom FS01 footswitch to control key functions like effect mutes, punch-in/out, and playback.

Rackmount

The optional RKL-12 rack mount adapter lets you mount your LiveTrak L12next in any standard rack.
