Zoom LiveTrak L-8 8-Channel Mixer and Recorder

Zoom has been driving creation and capturing inspiration for over two decades. Now, with the introduction of the L-8, you get all the tools to take you from idea to finished product, in one compact portable package.

Whether your creation takes the form of Podcasts and Vlogs, mixing live performances, or recording musical artists, the L-8 was created to meet your needs.

Podcasting has become the voice of the people and the L-8 wants to get your voice out there. equipped with 6 transparent Zoom preamps, the L-8 will capture every detail, and with 6 independent channels, everyone can have their say. You can bring outside collaborators into the discussion using your phone and the supplied TRRS cable. A mix-minus function ensures there's no echo or feedback to or from the caller, and it can all be monitored via the four available headphone outputs. Everything can be recorded on separate tracks to an SD card for editing, and the settings can be saved in the 7 show "scenes" for quick recall.

A high-quality audio interface and feature-rich mixer, the L-8 is equally at home when the lights go down and the music comes up. The L-8's six preamps all come with phantom power for your favorite condenser mics. You also get 2 high impedance (bass/electric guitar) inputs and 2 line-level inputs (keyboards/processors) which is enough for most small bands. Once you get everything connected, you can fine-tune each channel with the 3-band EQ and record the performance to the SD card or your computer at up to 24-bit/96KHz. The L-8 supports three independent headphone mixes so everyone can hear what they want, and what they don't want when tracking.

Dream it, create it, record it, mix it, put it out there, no limitations. The L-8 captures the moment.
