Musicians who write and record away from a desk get a complete mobile studio in one package. No computer is required to start capturing ideas.
Eight-Track Recording at 24-Bit/44.1 kHz
The R12 records up to 8 tracks simultaneously at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz resolution. Two XLR-1/4" combo inputs with phantom power accept microphones or instruments directly. This track count and resolution decide whether the unit fits a solo artist or a small band session.
Touchscreen Editing and Battery Power
A 2.4" full-color LCD touchscreen handles mixing, editing and transport control without menus on a computer. Power comes from four AA batteries, USB-C or the included adapter for true location work. The USB-C port also lets the R12 serve as an audio interface and control surface for a DAW. First-time users should budget time to learn the touchscreen workflow and verify that phantom power is engaged only for condenser microphones.
