The Zoom LiveTrak L-8 makes it easier than ever to mix, monitor, and record professional-quality podcasts, live music performances, and multi-person interviews in a single compact console. Engineered for maximum portability without sacrificing professional control, the L-8 combines hands-on mixing faders, multi-track SD card recording, customizable sound pads, and battery power into one travel-ready unit.
8 Discrete Input Channels & Clean Preamps
The L-8 features 6 XLR/TRS combo inputs equipped with Zoom’s high-performance preamps (delivering up to +54 dB of gain) and switchable +48V phantom power for condenser microphones. Inputs 1 and 2 feature Hi-Z switching for connecting electric guitars and basses directly, while Channels 7 and 8 offer stereo 1/4″ and line connections. Whether you are running a multi-host podcast panel or a small acoustic group setup, every source gets clean, transparent amplification.
4 Independent Headphone Mixes & Sound Pads
Monitoring is seamless for every contributor. The L-8 offers 4 discrete headphone outputs with independent volume controls, allowing up to three custom monitor mixes alongside the main mix. To raise your production value, 6 customizable Sound Pads let you instantly trigger intros, jingles, ads, applause, or pre-recorded audio stings with a single press.
Remote Interviews & Echo-Free Mix-Minus Routing
Bringing in phone guests or remote co-hosts is effortless. You can connect a smartphone via the included 3.5mm TRRS cable or route audio from a computer via USB. The L-8 automatically applies an internal Mix-Minus workflow to eliminate distracting audio echo and feedback loops on the caller’s end, keeping the phone connection pristine and broadcast-ready.
12-Track Multi-Track Recording & USB Audio Interface
Record up to 12 simultaneous tracks (8 individual channel stems + stereo master mix) directly onto SD cards up to 512 GB at resolutions up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. You can also save up to 7 custom “Scene” setups to instantly recall mixer levels and EQ settings for recurring podcasts or sets. When connected to a computer, tablet, or smartphone, the L-8 functions as a 12-in / 4-out USB audio interface for direct recording into your favorite DAW or live streaming software.
