Device intended for live group recording. Used by me as a mixing console in rehearsal allowing to record each take with top quality.
The preamps are good, much better I find than those of its predecessor zoom hd16 that I already had.
The +:
- easy to use for those who are used to using a mixing console
- quality of the preamps
- number of inputs and outputs. So comfortable!
- light and therefore easily transportable for live sound recording.
- very decent recording without having to go through a computer. (which remains possible though)
The cons:
- a bit fragile in appearance (very plastic)
- price maybe a bit expensive, but at the same time given all that the beast can do.... Not many competitors with this number of simultaneously recordable inputs at a non-pro budget anyway!
To be seen in use, but I am quite happy with it for now!... (Show more)

Very nice Mixing Console.
A bit expensive of course (and still I have a friend who bought it for 1200 a few months before me, now it is at 870) but it works as a Mix console + Multitrack sound card.
It records in Multitracks (wav file) and not just a simple stereo MP3 file so possibility to rework your mix in Cubase or other ProTools... (you can even record directly in your favorite DAW because this console also works as a USB Multitrack sound card 44.1khz 48khz 96khz)
Lots of possibilities (Save 9 group scenes, 6 return outputs or headphones etc...)
It's a very good Mixing Console, it only lacks one thing... The motorization of the knobs, that's all... maybe for a future L25 or L30....?
If I had to buy it again, I would do it without hesitation... (Show more)

What to say exactly, that's what our group needed, great system to be able to memorize each balance of all the tracks. Not to mention the 6 rare ones on a table and I only remember that the quality is there, if one day it dies I will get the same thing again. EXTRA

I find it very useful, a great help for our group projects. It will allow us to correct our live performances, whether in rehearsal or in concert, because we will have real-time support and inspirations captured on the spot can be developed in the home studio.

I already owned the Zoom R16
So I was used to the operation of the equipment
Convinced by the sound quality and the 6 return outputs.
I will be able to use it in concert with the band and planned recording
Really great equipment

Very happy with our purchase for a first mixing console, not easy to handle, no manual provided, you have to look for the 100-page PDF on Google.
