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

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

I bought this for use with a modular synth, and overall it works *mostly* well. Despite what an optional eurorack mounting kit might suggest, it does not handle modular levels well. Some attenuation is necessary to avoid clipping. For non-modular sources it works really well.
Mixer preamp are not 'exeptional', they go easily in distortion. Dynamic quality not so good. The worse thing is thar headphone line is post-master.
