Zoom LiveTrak L6max 12-Channel Studio Mixer & Recorder

A 12-Channel Mixer & Recorder for Music, Streaming, and Podcasts.

Max version of the excellent L6 mixer/recorder takes things to the next level with the addition of a high-contrast OLED screen, two more inputs, noise reduction and an extra headphone output for even more versatility.

Supplier's Notes:
The Zoom LiveTrak 12-Channel Mixer & Recorder for Music, Streaming, and Podcasts. Packed with all the features you'd expect from a full-size mixer, plus a multi-track recorder. It's compact, battery powered, and ready to be the centerpiece of your live show, rehearsal, or podcast.

A 3-band EQ lets you dial in the perfect tone with LOW, HIGH, and variable MID EQ on each channel.

Build the perfect mix with onboard effects including Reverb, Delay, and Echo. Use the TAP key to set delay times.

The master track compressor adds punch and saturation to your mix. With 32-bit float the audio will never clip, even at high volumes.

Capture up to 12 individual tracks plus a stereo mix directly to SD cards up to 2TB. Projects can be saved and recalled for mixing anytime.

You can mix and bounce tracks to the dedicated 'bounce track' freeing up additional channels to keep adding layers. If the bounce doesn't hit the mark, 'undo' it and try again. Even after a bounce, individual tracks are saved to the SD card for future mixing.

The free L6 Editor app for Mac and Windows lets you customize pads, effects, and MIDI assignments with ease.

Power the L6max via AA batteries, USB bus power, or a mobile battery pack.
