Built for musicians who live to make music, the R12 MultiTrak from Zoom is a comprehensive and highly portable, all-in-one production surface, packing an 8-track, 24-bit / 44.1 kHz digital recorder with 2x4 audio interface capability in a battery powered chassis, allowing you to make music anywhere you are. The R12 wears many hats for the modern musician, featuring control surface functionality, 150 preloaded drum loops, a customizable click track, a dedicated FX channel with four options, a compressor on inputs 1 and 2, pan and 3-band EQ control per track, a tuner, and even a highly musical FM synthesizer, letting you easily record albums, perform live, or produce quality streaming content thanks to features like sequence play for backing tracks.

The R12 sports a large, colorful 2.4" LCD touchscreen with intuitive control functions like swipe editing, two XLR-1/4" TRS combo inputs, with Hi-Z on input 1 and selectable phantom power on both, balanced 1/4" monitor outputs, a 3.5mm output with support for high-powered headphones, and a USB-C terminal for audio interface and bus power duties (cable included). Powering the R12 is as simple as loading in four AA batteries for up to 5 hours of continuous use, and you can also power the unit with the included AD-17 AC adapter, providing three methods of powering your recorder.
