Mobile recording with Zoom R12 MultiTrak
oom has developed the compact R12 MultiTrak portable multitrack recorder for musicians and songwriters. Eight tracks can be simultaneously recorded onto an SD card. The 2.4-inch small full-color LCD touchscreen is another central element with the transport fields. For recording, there are two XLR jack inputs, which can also be connected to condenser microphones, thanks to phantom power. Channel 1 can even be used as an instrument input. There is a 3-band EQ for all channels, and channels 1 and 2 also have a compressor. In addition, there are two mono jack outputs, the headphone jack and a USB-C port. In the rhythm section, 150 pre-installed drum loops are available for very different patterns. Furthermore, there is an internal FM synthesizer. The built-in effects for Reverb, Chorus and Delay have their own Send and Return faders. Power can be supplied for five hours via four AA batteries; alternatively, via an optional AC adapter or via
