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.IncludesLiveTrak L-8 Mixer/RecorderTRRS CableUSB CableAD-17 AC AdapterQuick GuideFeatures8-channel mixer (6 combo, plus 2 TS)12-track simultaneous recording, 10-track playbackMix-Minus function preventing audio feedback from dial-in guestsTRRS connection and included TRRS cable for phone connectivity6 assignable Sound Pads, with 13 preset sounds4 headphone outputs, consisting of 3 custom monitor mixes, plus one main mix3-band EQ and a low-cut function7 scene memories for storing mixes12-in / 4-out USB audio interfaceClass-compliant mode (for iOS compatibility)Battery operated with four AA batteries or a USB power supplyRecord up to 24-bit/96kHz, record up to 48kHZ to computer and SD card simultaneouslySpecificationsNumber of input and output channelsInputsMIC/LINE 6LINE 2OutputMASTER OUT 1MASTER OUT (PHONES) 1MONITOR OUT (PHONES) 3InputsMIC/LINE Type XLR/TRS combo jacks (XLR: 2 HOT, TRS: TIP HOT)Input gain +10 – +54 dB/–3 – +41 dB (when Hi-Z ON)Input impedance XLR: 3 kΩ, TRS: 3 kΩ/1 MΩ (when Hi-Z ON)Maximum input level –2 dBu when –26dB switch OFF (at 0 dBFS) +24 dBu when –26dB switch ON (at 0 dBFS)Phantom power +48 VLINEType TS phone jackInput impedance 10 kΩMaximum input level +3 dBuSmartphone connection jackType TRRS mini jack (4-contact/TIP: L, RING 1: R, RING 2: GND, SLEEVE: MIC)Input impedance 10 kΩMaximum input level +3 dBuOutputMASTER OUT Type XLR jacks (balanced)Maximum output level +14.5 dBuOutput impedance 100 ΩMASTER OUT (PHONES)Type Standard stereo phone jackMaximum output level 10 mW + 10 mW (60Ω load)Output impedance 10 ΩMONITOR OUT (PHONES)Type Standard stereo phone jackMaximum output level 10 mW + 10 mW (60Ω load)Output impedance 10 ΩBusesMASTER 1MONITOR 3SEND EFX 1Channel stripLOW CUT 75 Hz, 12 dB/OCTEQ HIGH: 10 kHz, ±15 dB, shelvingMID: 2.5 kHz, ±15 dB, peakingLOW: 100 Hz, ±15 dB, shelvingLevel meter9 segmentsSend effects8 typesRecorder Maximum simultaneous recording tracks12 at 44.1/48/96 kHzMaximum simultaneous playback tracks10Recording formatWAV 44.1/48/96 kHz, 16/24-bit, mono/stereoRecording media4GB–32GB SDHC-compliant cards (Class 10 or higher)64GB–512GB SDXC-compliant cards (Class 10 or higher)Audio interface44.1/48 kHz Recording: 12 channels Playback: 4 channelsBit depth 24-bitInterface USB 2.0Card readerClass Mass storage USB 2.0 High SpeedSampling frequency44.1/48/96 kHzFrequency response20 Hz – 20 kHz: –1 dB at 44.1 kHz20 Hz – 40 kHz: –3 dB at 96 kHz (when GAIN at 3 o'clock)Equivalent input noise–121 dBu or less (IHF-A) at +54dB/150Ω inputDisplayLCD with backlight (96×64 resolution)Power4 AA batteries (alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable NiMH)AC adapter (ZOOM AD-17): DC 5V/1ASupports USB bus powerEstimated continuous recording time using batteries Recording 44.1kHz/16-bit/4ch audio to SD card (when 48V is OFF, LCD BACKLIGHT is 15sec, BATTERY SAVING is ON and headphone impedance is 62Ω):Alkaline batteries: about 2 hoursNiMH batteries (1900 mAh): about 3.5 hoursLithium batteries: about 6.5 hoursThe above values are approximate.Continuous battery operation times were determined using ...
