The L12next combines the power of a digital mixer with analog-style operation. Three knobs per channel can deliver High/Mid/Low EQ control. With a simple switch you can also adjust gain, pan, and sends, offering hands-on mixing, just like an analog console.
Combo inputs support XLR or 1/4-inch connections. Channels 1 and 2 offer Hi-Z inputs for connecting an electric guitar or bass. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 have TS line connectivity for keyboards and other audio devices.
In addition to 60mm faders, each channel has three multi-function encoder knobs, giving you analog style control of gain, EQ, compression, panning, and sends.
Choose which controls are accessible on the multi-function encoder knobs ie: EQ, Gain, Sends
Five powered headphone outputs can send individual monitor sub mixes to headphones, in-ear monitors, or powered monitor speakers. The main outputs feature XLR connectors to easily connect to your PA.
Quick access to advanced recording capabilities such as mixdown, overdub and autopunch.
LED screen and encoder knob let you access the menu system to create new projects, recall previous projects, and customize your recorder settings.
Save up to ten different scenes and recall your custom settings automatically. Each scene saves fader position, EQ settings, pan, mute, and more.
The engineer can use the talkback mic to talk to the artists right from the board.
Fader Position button lets you quickly view saved fader positions when recalling scenes.
16 built-in effects with fully adjustable parameters. Choose from delay and reverb effects, then apply them to any channel.
