Digital Control with Analog Workflow. The LiveTrak L12next Digital Mixer / Recorder
 
Digital Mixing Reimagined for Creators
The L12next combines the power of a digital mixer with analog-style operation. Three knobs per channel deliver High/Mid/Low EQ, and with a simple switch, you can adjust gain, pan, and sends, offering hands-on mixing like a classic analog console.

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 14 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, every musician can have a personal mix. Outputs support stereo for headphones and in-ears, or mono for stage monitors, making it flexible for live or studio use.

For the Sound Guy
The sound engineer’s output lets you quickly monitor and adjust both the master and each monitor out mix. Use the built-in Talkback function for easy communication between the engineer and musicians.

Custom Scene Recall
The L12next stores up to 10 scene memories, saving fader positions, EQ, pan, mutes, effects, and more. 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.
*Requires the optional BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter. Wireless range up to 10 m in open spaces.

Audio Interface + Control Surface
The L12next is a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface for Mac, Windows, and mobile, supporting 24-bit/96kHz recording and playback. Record to computer and SD card simultaneously, sync tracks, and even control your DAW.

Stream Ready
