This console also has two internal effects processors along with a 40-600Hz, 12dB/octave low-cut added to the 4-band EQ. phantom power is switchable globally for the six mic inputs; there’s no LED indicator but a message flashes on the screen when phantom is engaged, or if it is engaged when you switch the unit on.It’s not a lot of control, admittedly, but between the channel send level, these parameters and the EFX RTN channel fader, I found it sufficient.

I needed a mixer for small streaming/video gigs, including outdoor events with no AC power, plus a backup for my main PA mixer and a replacement for my Zoom L6 for small recording tasks.A further three headphone outputs can be set to have a duplicate of the master mix, or a unique mix – determined by the fader position on the associated output channel. You can also specify the recording format, and engage auto (threshold‑triggered) record and/or 2‑second pre‑record modes.

The L-8 features six independent Zoom preamps, built to handle anything from a whisper to a raucous debate. It does include latency compensation, though, so you can monitor your performance and the backing in perfect sync, and things will line up perfectly on playback. The eight input channels’ signals (7 and 8 each have left and right channels) are taken directly after the preamp, before the Channel Strip and fader, while the stereo mix is captured post‑fader. The encoders control panning, the effects send level and a three‑band EQ, comprising high (10kHz) and low (100Hz) shelves and a peaking mid band (2. LiveTrak L-20 has the same features as the L-12 however it has 16x XLR/TRS combination jack inputs along with the 2x stereo channel inputs.The fact that it can record to both DAW and SD card simultaneously also gives the LiveTrak L-8 a level of redundancy seldom afforded in the prosumer space. As with USB recording, each of the eight input channels can be recorded pre‑ the Channel Strip and fader, and the post‑fader master mix signal can be captured. You can copy and paste from one mix to another, making it quick and easy to set up personalised cue mixes. L-8 has the ability to mix, multi-track record, and monitor audio from eight channels, all whilst being powered via 4x AA alkaline, lithium or rechargeable NiMH battery cells; USB bus power, or included AD-17 AC power adapter.

Each of the eight input channels has its own fader, mute (but not solo) and Select buttons, and when a channel is selected you can tweak further parameters in the Channel Strip section. The neutral‑sounding broad‑brush EQ is exactly what’s required here, and I found a handful of the effects (mainly the reverbs) very usable, even if I always wanted to tweak the default settings to something that sounded less obvious. I bought this to record a wide variety of voiceovers and musical instruments on battery power, but it has become my main audio interface for my Linux computer. Input channels 1-6 are by way of XLR/TRS combination jack for mic or line level input, with channels 1 and 2 also supporting Hi-Z input via switch.The contents of this article are subject to worldwide copyright protection and reproduction in whole or part, whether mechanical or electronic, is expressly forbidden without the prior written consent of the Publishers.

You can also save your show presets in the Scene section, which is great for different setups under your fingertips. The main benefits of the L-12 over the L-8 are channel count, which totals twelve – of which eight are XLR/TRS combination jacks; compression controllers on channels 1-8, phantom power in groups of 1-4 and 5-8, and 4-band EQ.
