In addition, there are 16 built-in effects algorithms with reverb, delay, and chorus effects, and independent monitor mixes can be created for each of the five headphone outputs.

The LiveTrak L-12 has been designed as a complete recording and mixing solution, so you might find the lack of aux sends surprising. However, you can simply use the monitor outs to perform a similar function.

Focal Shape Twin

The Focal Shape Twin is a professional monitor designed for achieving consistency even when mixing in less-than-ideal acoustic environments. Its design uses a dual 5-inch woofer system (160W) for the bass and midrange, and a 1-inch low directivity tweeter (50W).

This allows you to monitor accurately outside of the traditional triangular monitoring positions, and the dual passive diaphragm system reduces low-end reflectivity, so you can position the speaker closer to a desk or wall if required.

On the rear panel, the Shape Twin has an extensive room EQ section. This includes a high-pass filter, a low-shelf, a low-mid bell, and a high-shelf, so you can optimize the speaker for your room.
