The Zoom R12 is made for musicians who live to make music. And they want the freedom to make music wherever they go. Everything you need is on-board. Compact and mobile, you can record and mix songs without a computer. Use the R12’s full-color LCD touchscreen to cut, copy, loop, and edit your tracks. The R12 has super-clean preamps and you’ll love the way they sound. With two XLR/TRS inputs, and 8 tracks of audio, the R12 is perfect for recording everything from demos to release-ready songs. It also includes a send effects channel offering reverb, chorus and delay with a dedicated effects return fader. For advanced tones, you can use presets and effects from Zoom's Guitar Lab. You can take the Zoom R12 everywhere you go. The R12 provides up to 5 hours on four AA batteries allowing you to bring your production out of the studio and into the world. Additionally, you can use the R12 with the included AD-17 power adapter, or a USB battery.

Use Sequence Play to create a playlist of your projects. Then use them as backing tracks, whether you’re playing live or rehearsing a set. And it doesn’t stop there, because the unit also comes with 150 preloaded drum loops in a variety of patterns and genres, the R12 provides a versatile rhythm section for any project. Add additional audio samples by importing files into your R12 via Micro SD card or USB thumb drive. Use the R12 as a stereo audio interface with your favorite DAW or streaming platform, via USB-C. As a control surface, the transport controls and faders make it easy to adjust and control your software during production. The R12 also has pan and a 3-channel EQ for each track and a compressor on inputs 1 and 2. Activate the fully customizable click track with the press of a button. Click balance blends the metronome with your playback audio and routes it to your headphones and/or the main outputs. The R12 even has 18 FM synth instruments built in. They can be played by plugging in a MIDI keyboard via USB-C or programmed using the touchscreen. So, in short, the Zoom R12 has pretty much everything you need, all in the box and ready to go!
