Overview
ZOOM R12 MULTITRAK RECORDER WITH 8-TRACK, USB-C INTERFACE
Build a song without opening a laptop
Zoom R12 MultiTrak is a portable eight-track recorder with two XLR/TRS inputs, physical faders and a colour touchscreen. Record two tracks at a time, layer parts, edit and mix onboard, or use USB-C for audio-interface and DAW-control functions.

Layer a song one performance at a time
The R12 records two input tracks simultaneously and plays back up to eight tracks. Capture a vocal and instrument, then overdub the next part while listening to earlier takes. Input 1 includes Hi-Z for direct guitar or bass recording, and both inputs can supply 48V phantom power.
Edit and mix on the recorder
Use the 2.4-inch touchscreen to work with audio regions and the physical faders to balance tracks. Each track has pan and three-band EQ, while input dynamics and insert or send effects help shape the recording. A dedicated effects-return fader controls the send-effect level.
Develop the arrangement
Start with one of 150 rhythm loops, add the metronome, or use the onboard FM synth sounds. A compatible USB MIDI keyboard can play the synth, while touchscreen programming supports ideas without a keyboard. Import audio from a memory card or USB storage to build on existing material.
Connect to the rest of your studio
Balanced monitor outputs and a 3.5 mm headphone socket provide listening options. USB-C enables audio-interface use, file transfer and DAW control-surface operation. Recording runs at 44.1 kHz with 16-bit or 24-bit WAV files; this is an eight-playback-track recorder, not an eight-microphone-input mixer.
Record wherever ideas happen
Use four AA batteries, a suitable USB power source or the included AD-17 adapter. The R12 supports microSDXC cards up to 1TB. Instruments, microphones, headphones and memory cards shown in setup photos are sold separately.
Build Tracks with the Actual Input Count
Record up to two inputs at once and build an arrangement with up to eight playback tracks. Eight playback tracks do not mean eight simultaneous microphone inputs. Record successive performances to create the arrangement, using the touchscreen and track controls to edit and mix rather than planning eight live microphone connections at the same time.
