Zoom LiveTrak L-20R 20-Channel Digital Mixer-Recorder for Stage Use

The Zoom LiveTrak L-20R 20-Channel Digital Mixer-Recorder for Stage Use is the 20-input digital mixer you might take for a dedicated multi-track live-recording device. So why don’t we tell you a little about it? Built in the vein of the L-20 without the bang of its faders, and with enough flexibility to handle live performance, studio recording, band rehearsals and podcasts, this recording/mixing/performing powerhouse is both compact and rack-mountable, and supported by rack ears so you can mount the mixer in your fancy rack case. The Zoom LiveTrak L-20R 20-Channel Digital Mixer-Recorder for Stage Use also has iPad control. The front-of-house engineer can control the FOH mix, and up to six musicians can control their own discrete monitor mixes via iPads. They can change levels, EQ, effects, and more.

The mixer features 16 mono channels, each with combo mic/line XLR-1/4" inputs with high gain, low-noise microphone preamps, a one-knob compressor knob, and +48V phantom power. Channels 1-2 also offer Hi-Z inputs for connecting guitars and basses. Two stereo inputs offer dual 1/4" and RCA inputs. All channels work with the on-board channel strip, which provides a low-cut filter, a 3-band EQ, a pan control, and two send FX for sending signals to the 20 built-in high-quality effects processor. The LiveTrak L-20R features balanced XLR main outputs, while the six monitor outputs utilize balanced TRS 1/4" connectors, each with the ability to set-up customized mixes. Simply connect your headphones or a stage monitor and adjust the levels to taste. Furthermore, by connecting remotely over iOS devices, musicians can adjust their own monitor mixes on stage. The built-in SD recorder can simultaneously record every channel and the master fader stereo signal output for a total of 22 tracks at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. Files can easily be copied to a computer and used in a DAW. The L-20R can also function as a 22-in/4-out USB audio interface, allowing you to record directly to your favorite software DAW or to iOS devices. The Zoom LiveTrak L-20R ships with a power cord a BTA-1 Bluetooth cable to connect your master iPad (other iPads connect to the master via Wi-Fi).
