Mixing, Recording, Monitoring, Playback, and Remix!
LiveTrak L-12 is the only digital console that lets you mix your live performance, simultaneously record on twelve individual tracks, and even provide five independent, freely configurable headphone mixes. Finally, you can mix, record, and control your monitoring with a single device.
Record Anytime, Remix Anywhere
With the L-12, you can record twelve tracks at up to 24 bit/96 kHz in WAV format onto an SD card while mixing your live show simultaneously. Create overdubs with LiveTrak and then mix the finished project. Or transfer the individual tracks to your preferred DAW and continue mixing and editing there.
Effects, equalizers, overdub function, audio interface, fader modes A-E, and channels 13-14 (stereo mix) are not available at 96 kHz.
Five Tailored Monitor Mixes
LiveTrak features five headphone outputs that provide a tailored monitoring situation for each musician through individually adjustable mixes. Thanks to an integrated Class-D amplifier, the L-12 produces a level that cuts through in any live situation without a separate monitoring setup for headphones.
USB Connection to Your DAW
LiveTrak is also a USB audio interface with 14 inputs and 4 outputs and extensive routing options, opening countless possibilities. (Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required.)
What’s Under the Hood?
Zoom’s Best Microphone Preamps Yet
With an equivalent input noise of -128 dBu (extremely low self-noise) and up to +60 dB input gain, LiveTrak is equipped with the quietest and most advanced preamps we’ve ever built. Wait until you hear how incredibly good it sounds!
High Sampling Rates
The L-12 supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz when recording to an SD card, allowing you to record in high-definition resolution. In audio interface mode, the L-12 can record at up to 48 kHz to a computer and simultaneously to an SD card.
Versatile Operating Modes
The L-12 offers different operating modes. In audio interface mode, you can route inputs and outputs to any DAW.
Versatile Operating Modes
In USB host mode, you can transfer projects and audio files to a connected USB storage device. In card reader mode, the L-12 functions as an SD card reader, allowing you to transfer audio files to or from a computer. In class-compliant mode, you can connect the L-12 to a compatible iOS device.
Comfortable Stereo Headphones
The KH-238 delivers a full, balanced sound with rich bass and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume while maintaining clean and precise stereo imaging. Naturally, the softly padded, wide headband is length-adjustable. The extension offers 12 steps on each side for optimal fit. For even more comfort, the ear cups are mounted on two-axis swivels. The thick, soft padding of the over-ear cups also provides good external noise isolation. The integrated volume control on the cable is always at hand, making it easy to use with a PC or mp3 player. The 3.5 mm stereo jack delivers excellent transmission quality, and a 6.3 mm stereo adapter is also included.

Questions about product
Question by Peter Zerna on 12.08.2019
Is there an Apple app for remote controlling for the Livetrak L-12?
Is a WLAN router integrated?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The recorder has no network functionality and therefore cannot be controlled remotely. IOS devices can only be connected wired for recording in for example "Garage Band".
