Heir to the brand's "R" multitrack recorders, the Zoom R20 introduces a modern approach with a color touchscreen and track color coding. It retains the simplicity that made the series successful, while gaining a more visual non-linear editing, updated effects, and better integration with the Zoom ecosystem via Guitar Lab.
The R20 is designed for musicians and creators who want to record without a computer while keeping the option to switch to an audio interface as needed. Ideal for capturing band demos, producing multitrack podcasts, managing arrangements with drum loops, and layering instruments, it offers quick handling and reliable results both in the studio and on the go.
The touch editing allows you to cut, move, duplicate, and refine takes directly on the device, with clear visual feedback thanks to the color coding of faders, gain knobs, and tracks. The eight mic preamps ensure clean capture, while inputs 1-2 accept high-impedance guitars and provide 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
On the creative side, the loop drum generator speeds up arrangement, and the built-in FM synth quickly enriches your productions. The internal effects cover dynamics, EQ, and creative processing, and compatibility with Guitar Lab opens up a wide range of guitar and bass signal chains.
Connect the R20 via USB-C to use it as a 10x2 audio interface in your workstation, or record autonomously to SDHC/SDXC cards. Support for 16-bit/44.1 kHz WAV BWF and MP3 formats ensures easy project exchange. Optionally, the BTA-1 Bluetooth module allows wireless control via the R20 app on your smartphone.
