You never know when inspiration will strike. Capture it when it does with the ZOOM R12 Multitrack Recorder. The R12 is a compact, mobile recording station that allows you to record, edit, and mix songs wherever you are without a computer. Up front, a pair of low-noise preamps accept mic or line inputs with XLR/TRS combo jacks to capture the true character of your source signal before passing it on to the 24-bit 44.1kHz converters. Once your tracks are captured you can edit them directly from the elegant 2.4" full-color touchscreen. With two XLR/TRS inputs and 8 audio tracks, the R12 is ideal for everything from demos to professional songs. It includes a send effects channel with reverb, chorus, and delay, plus Zoom’s Guitar Lab presets so you can find your tone, no amp required. Each track has a pan, and a 3-channel EQ, while inputs 1 and 2 come with a compressor. Powered by four AA batteries for up to 5 hours or the included AD-17 power adapter, the R12 is designed for portability. Additional features include Sequence Play for creating playlists, 150 preloaded drum loops, stereo headphone and monitor outputs, USB-C connectivity for use as a stereo audio interface, and control surface functionality with transport controls. The customizable click track makes rehearsals, live performances, and overdubbing a breeze, blending the metronome with playback audio. Don't simply remember the moment.
