Teeming with expanded I/O and flexible connectivity, the Fender Studio Quantum LT 16 offers premium performance for project studios, multi-instrument setups, and hybrid workflows. This 16-in, 8-out USB-C audio interface combines class-leading low-latency operation with flawless 24-bit/192kHz conversion, bolstered by eight stunning MAX-HD mic preamps and Fender-designed instrument inputs. Additionally, the Quantum LT 16 houses 14 Line Input jacks, allowing smooth connection of your external mic pres, hardware synths, outboard gear, and line-level sound sources. Moreover, the DC-coupled Line Output jacks provide seamless CV integration with your modular and analog synths. You also get built-in Loopback capability for streaming and flexible mix routing, 5-pin MIDI I/O for hardware connectivity, a dedicated Mixer Mode for DAW-free mixing, and a standalone Mic Pre Mode for use as an 8-channel microphone preamp.

State-of-the-art sound and powerful performance

Beneath the Quantum LT 16’s streamlined exterior is an armada of premium recording tech, reinforced by custom-designed low-latency drivers and high-caliber converters, ensuring that audio is crystal clear and brimming with detail from input to playback. For its combination Mic/Line jacks, Fender Studio deploys its next-gen MAX-HD preamps, capable of up to 75dB of gain across a formidable 20Hz–20kHz range, resulting in unmatched transparency and clarity via digitally attenuated analog character. With impressive preamp gain and phantom power, this flexible interface seamlessly accommodates a diverse array of microphone styles and vocal deliveries for live, studio, and broadcast excellence. Furthermore, 14 TRS analog Line Input jacks make integrating external mic pres, hardware synths, outboard gear, and other line-level devices an incredibly straightforward affair. Finally, the Quantum LT 16 boasts a dedicated Mixer Mode for DAW-free mixing and a standalone Mic Pre Mode for use as an 8-channel microphone preamp.

Versatile interfacing with Fender-designed finesse

Leveraging Fender’s considerable guitar and amplifier expertise, the Quantum LT 16 was engineered to facilitate recording for virtually any style and environment. It includes a pair of instrument inputs, supplying guitarists and bassists with user-friendly plug-and-play accessibility. To expand the interface’s interoperative potential, the Quantum LT 16 includes 5-pin MIDI I/O. Moreover, its balanced Line Output jacks are DC-coupled, opening the possibility of sending CV signals to compatible modules, synthesizers, effects units, or pedals. Additionally, the Quantum LT 16 includes a built-in Loopback capability, making quick work of crafting monitor or streaming mixes.

Nice Audio Interface for the price
This works great. I got it to replace a 1st gen Scarlett 18i20 that I was using with a Behringer ADA8200. This simplifies my setup while keeping the same number of inputs. It sounds great and was easy to get up and running. It would be hard to beat for the price.
