Zoom PodTrak P8 13-Track Touchscreen Podcast Mixer

Zoom offers the PodTrak P8, with all the functions you need to record, edit and mix, the PodTrak P8 is your complete podcast studio, easy to use and can handle the most ambitious podcasts.

The color touchscreen interface makes monitoring, adjusting, and onboard editing seamless. Everything you need is a touch away: M

mic preamp slider, low cut, tone adjustment, and compressor/deesser. Also, In the ‘On Air’ screen select noise reduction to decrease background noise by automatically turning down the mic levels for tracks not in use.

The P8’s color-coded inputs, outputs, and controls make on-the-fly adjustments a breeze, keeping you focused on the discussion. The PodTrak P8 features six of Zoom’s best-sounding mic inputs, providing pristine audio for you and your guests.

The P8 features a dedicated channel for recording phone calls. And channel six can be switched to USB mode to record your guests via computer. Both options include a Mix-Minus feature to prevent echo and feedback for the caller.

When a channel’s ON AIR is disabled, you can still hear the tracks through your headphones, but they won’t be recorded, or go through speakers or USB. That’s helpful when having sidebar conversations or prepping your guests during breaks.

Make your podcast sound professional by triggering sound effects, intro music, jingles, pre-recorded interviews, and more, with nine multi-colored sound pads. Choose from 13 preloaded sounds or load your own. Create up to four banks of sounds for a total of 36 sound clips at your fingertips.

The P8 features six independent headphone outputs, each with individual volume control. For professional playback, the P8’s main outputs allow you to connect to studio monitors.

With the P8’s onboard editing, easily trim, split and fade audio clips to produce a finished episode. You can also transfer track files to your computer to do a final mix.

When recording outside the studio, the P8 provides up to 2 hours of recording with four AA batteries or connect a USB power supply for extended use.

A USB-C port allows the PodTrak P8 to function as an audio interface when connected to a computer for recording or live streaming. See it, Edit, Cast.
