Zoom LiveTrak L6max Portable 12-Channel Mixer and Recorder

The Zoom L6max (ZL6MAX) is a compact, portable 12‑channel digital mixer and multitrack recorder. Designed for musicians, live performers, podcasters, and mobile studios — it combines full mixer functionality, onboard effects and processing, and multitrack recording, all in a backpack‑friendly form factor. It can also double as a USB audio interface, making it equally useful for live performances, rehearsals, or studio sessions.
