Zoom LiveTrak L-20 Digital Recording and Mixing Console

LIVETRAK L-20

MORE BOARD. MORE MUSIC.

The LiveTrak™ L-20 is the new digital console offering everything creators need to mix, monitor, and record complex productions. With 20 discrete audio channels and six individual custom monitor mixes, it’s built for bigger, bolder arrangements.

20 Inputs for Bigger Sound

The LiveTrak L-20 is designed to mix bigger. It features 20 inputs
(16 mono mic/line inputs and two stereo inputs), all with independent
3-band mid-parametric EQ. The 16 mono inputs offer stand-alone compressor control.

22 Tracks of Recording

Record 20 discrete channels plus a stereo mix directly to an SD card. The LiveTrak L-20 captures pristine audio in resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz.* At -128 dBu EIN with +60 dB maximum input gain, the L-20 is equipped with our quietest and most advanced preamps ever. Mix down finished songs on the L-20 or transfer your discrete tracks to a DAW to perfect later.

*Effects, EQ, overdub, audio interface, and fader modes A-F are not available in 96 kHz.

“I could unload two racks worth of gear and it still wouldn’t add up to everything the L-20 can do. It’s easy. It’s intuitive. It expands my abilities as an engineer.”

—Joe Wohlmuth, Sound Engineer
Shakira, Josh Groban,
Celine Dion, Santana,
Thirty Seconds to Mars

Create Six Custom Monitor Mixes

With six independent monitor outputs for musicians, each output can have its own custom mix, complete with effects, that can easily be switched from a powerful headphone output, to a balanced line output for stage monitors.

And One for the House

The LiveTrak L-20 features a dedicated 7th output for the FOH engineer. The sound engineer can monitor the main mix and any of the sub mixes, thus adjusting them to the musicians’ satisfaction.

“What I love about the L-20 is the flexibility it gives you with 20 channels, preamp effects, six individual mixes and high-quality multi-mode recording. This little board is like the Swiss army knife of boards. 1000000000 hugs!” 

—Carlitos del Puerto, Bassist
Chick Corea + Steve Gadd Band,
Quincy Jones,
Bruce Springsteen

Big Beautiful Interface

Although the LiveTrak L-20 is designed to work as a stand-alone recording and mixing console, it can also be used as a 22-in/4-out USB audio interface. Audio Interface mode lets you route inputs to any DAW or streaming software, even while recording to an SD card. Additionally, audio can be routed from your computer into the L-20 to be mixed with your live performance. Class compliant mode, which enables connection with iOS devices, is supported as well.*

*Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required.

Wireless Mixing

The LiveTrak L-20 offers wireless control* via a free iOS mobile app featuring most onboard functions, including Fader Levels and Modes, Scenes, EQ, EFX sends, returns, parameters, and more. You can even manage your Effects Library and Scene Library right from your device. Control it all on either large Monitor Out view with a mini transport, or a mini Monitor Out view with expanded Transport controls.

* Zoom Bluetooth adapter (ex. BTA-1) required. Communication at up to 10 meters is possible in an unobstructed indoor space with BTA-1 units.
