Fender Quantum LT 16 16x8 USB-C Audio Interface

The Fender Quantum LT 16 is a flagship 16 x 8 USB-C audio interface designed for project studios, multi-instrument setups, and hybrid production workflows. This bus-powered interface delivers professional 24-bit - 192 kHz audio with expanded analog connectivity and ultra-low-latency performance.

Eight MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB gain provide transparent, low-noise capture for large recording sessions, while fourteen total analog line inputs support seamless integration of mic preamps, synths, mixers, and other line-level devices. Dual Fender-designed instrument inputs, DC-coupled outputs, and 5-pin MIDI I-O expand creative routing and hardware control.

Custom low-latency drivers, loopback audio, and flexible monitoring make the LT 16 ideal for recording, streaming, and complex routing tasks. Standalone Mixer Mode and Mic Pre Mode add reliability and versatility, allowing the interface to function as a mixer or an 8-channel mic preamp in professional and hybrid studios.
