Zoom Podtrak P8 Zoom

If you’ve been searching for a standalone solution for capturing interviews, podcasts, cast readings, and color commentary on the go, the 8-channel PodTrak P8 is as full-featured as they come. Onboard you’ll find mic inputs, headphone outputs, and channel faders for you and up to five guests, along with a dedicated channel for call-in guests who can’t make it to the studio. You also get nine sound pads with four banks for accessing up to 36 sound effects and song samples on the fly. A full-color touchscreen handles common settings such as gain staging, routing, and FX.

And thanks to its 2-hour AA battery operation, the PodTrak P8 has you covered for location recording and in-studio electrical outages. For effortless compatibility, the Zoom PodTrak P8 records onto common SD cards up to 512GB in size — which is great for staying organized and ensuring you’ve always got space for that extra-long episode. Want to integrate the PodTrak P8 into your computer/tablet setup? The Zoom doubles as a class-compliant, 2-in/2-out audio interface for Windows, Mac, and iOS.
