Fender Quantum LT 16 USB-C Audio Interface

The Fender Quantum LT 16 is a 16x8 USB-C audio interface delivering 24-bit/192 kHz recording with eight MAX-HD mic preamps offering +75 dB of gain. With 14 TRS analog line inputs and dual Fender-designed instrument inputs, the LT 16 handles everything from full bands to detailed multi-mic setups. DC-coupled outputs allow you to send control voltage signals directly from your DAW for advanced synthesis and hardware integration.

MAX-HD Preamps

Eight MAX-HD mic preamps provide +75 dB of gain with low-noise, digitally-controlled analog circuitry for pristine capture of large projects. A standalone Mic Pre Mode lets the LT 16 function as an 8-channel standalone mic preamp, expanding input options in hybrid recording rigs.

Instrument and Line Inputs

Two Fender-designed instrument inputs are purpose-built for guitars and basses. Fourteen TRS analog line inputs accommodate external mic preamps, synthesizers, mixers, and other line-level devices: six front-panel XLR/TRS combo jacks and eight rear-panel TRS inputs with switchable +4 dBu / -10 dBV operation.

Control and Software

5-pin MIDI I/O integrates keyboards, drum machines, and hardware sequencers without an external MIDI interface. Loopback audio provides flexible mix routing for streaming and content creation. Fender Studio Pro is bundled, providing a professional DAW and exclusive Fender amp and effects plug-ins. Built-in My Fender access handles registration, setup, and support.
