Additional Information
Customer Review Summary
The Zoom LiveTrak L-20R is a versatile and compact mixer that effectively meets the needs of musicians and bands looking for a reliable solution for both live performances and recording. Its build quality is satisfactory, although some users have noted that the plastic casing feels less premium than expected for the price.
This mixer excels in its sound quality and the ability to record each channel separately onto an SD card, making it particularly useful for capturing live performances or rehearsals. The inclusion of 6 headphone outputs allows for individual monitoring mixes, which is a significant advantage for bands needing customised sound for each member.
However, it is essential to have an iPad for full functionality, as the control app is exclusively available for iOS devices. Users have expressed frustration regarding the app’s limitations and the necessity of connecting to an iPad for basic functions. While the app has improved over time, some still find it cumbersome and lacking in features compared to traditional mixers.
Despite these drawbacks, many users appreciate the portability and practicality of the L-20R, especially for on-the-go recording. The mixer is well-suited for bands looking to streamline their setup without compromising on quality. Overall, while the device has its quirks and requires an iPad for optimal use, it remains a strong choice for those needing a compact and capable mixer.
