First-Time Caller, Long-Time ListenerRemote interviews are a snap with the L-8; just connect your phone via the provided TRRS cable. The Mix-Minus function automatically prevents echo and feedback to and from the caller. Or use the USB connection to route audio from Skype, Facetime, Hangouts, Slack and more. |
Freedom of SpeechZoom’s preamps are famous for a good reason: they’re transparent, powerful and ultra-reliable. The L-8 features six independent Zoom preamps, built to handle anything from a whisper to a raucous debate. |
Hear Yourself TalkIf you can’t hear yourself, how are you supposed to speak your mind? The L-8 is equipped with four headphone outputs, so that each participant can clearly hear what is going on. |

A Track for EveryoneThe pros know that when you record everyone on their own separate track it just sounds better and provides more flexibility in the edit. The L-8 records separate tracks directly to your SD card, enabling you to edit them later. |
On Air, On the MoveThe Zoom LiveTrak L-8 can run up to 2 ½ hours with just four AA batteries, or on a USB battery, so you can podcast from anywhere. |
Record Twice, OnceUsed as an audio interface, the L-8 can record full episodes directly to your computer and an SD card simultaneously. You can also live stream while recording. L-8 is class compliant, enabling connection with iOS devices. Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required |

Small in Size Big on SoundFrom singer-songwriters to small bands, the L-8 is the ideal mixer and recorder for musicians who may be small in number, but big on sound. |
Coming Through Loud & ClearThe L-8 features six high performance preamps each with phantom power, a low noise floor (-121dBU EIN), and maximum input gain of +54dB. Additionally there are two each Hi-Z, line-level and USB inputs. You can also fine-tune each channel with EQ and onboard effects. |
True Multi-Track RecordingThe L-8 lets you record up to 10 discrete tracks plus a stereo mix directly to an SD card at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz*. You can punch-in and overdub with ease, then transfer your work to your favorite DAW for fine tuning. *Effects, EQ, overdub, and audio interface are not available in 96 kHz. |
Individual Monitor MixesNever settle for that “compromise” monitor mix again. The L-8 provides three custom monitor mixes, so no matter where you are on stage, you hear exactly what you need. |

Some called them cheesy and cheaply made - I don't see it - I have two of these things and they are pretty solid. The other is that the Rode unit is better for Podcasting - maybe true, but this one doubles way better for small PA work.
After I got it working, it worked good and easy to use.

As a live mixer it is about the smallest footprint you will find that has 8 channels. Yes, it is actually a 8 channel mixer, Audio interface and recorder. The 12 is only because 7 and 8 are stereo and they count the master as another stereo pair. This is common practice. After all they call it the L8 so they are not really misleading you.
Getting used to it at home I kept finding more things I liked about it and soon figured out all the many settings and functions. I had a gig that weekend so I set everything up and then saved that as a scene. It worked.
I also found the effects were excellent for what I needed. And you can edit them, something very few mixers allow. It's because its a digital mixer that you get these cool options.
There's 3 Monitor mixes which is also 2 more than normal in this size a mixer. Be warned that these are actually headphone jacks they are not Balanced outputs. To connect to powered PA speakers only insert the TS 1/4" patch cable to the first stop.
The big bonus is this is a very good audio interface as well. I can record at 48/32. Most interfaces only offer a fixed 24 bit. The L8 lets you choose. It is so cool to have all those inputs as well as you can have 4 custom headphone cue mixes with effects. You can also print the built in effects to your DAW as you record using the Master as the track source.
Then the built in digital recorder is dead simple to use. I recorded my gig in multitrack. Pop the SD card in your computer and drag and drop the audio files into your DAW.
I would have gladly paid the price just to get the mixer. I wasn't planning on using the other 2 features but this is a huge plus for the money. I put my Moto M4 on the shelf and I can leave my Tascam DR 40 at home now too.
Highly recommended!
