The R12 from Zoom is designed for musicians who want to record, edit and mix their songs and ideas on the go without a computer. With the R12’s LCD touchscreen, you can easily cut, copy, loop and edit your tracks. The R12 features high-quality preamps, two XLR/TRS inputs and 8 audio tracks. This makes it perfect for recording everything from demos to finished productions. For that extra touch, the Zoom also features a send effects channel with reverb, chorus and delay, as well as its own effects return fader. For more advanced sounds, you can use presets and effects from Zoom’s Guitar Lab. The R12 also features pan control and a 3-band EQ for each track, as well as a compressor for inputs 1 and 2.
Use Sequence Play
The Zoom R12 runs for up to 5 hours on four AA batteries, so you can take your production with you wherever you go. You can also power the device using the AD-17 adapter or a power bank. The multitrack recorder features a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack and two 6.3 mm monitor outputs.
The R12 can be controlled via your iOS device using the optional R12 Control app. This app will be available from late 2022
