The Fender Quantum LT16 USB-C audio interface is the heavy-hitting, high-headroom hub your project studio has been begging for. Taking legendary Fender reliability and injecting it right into the brain of your recording rig, this 16x8 powerhouse handles sprawling synth setups, multi-mic drum sessions, and everything in between.
It’s not just a box with knobs; it is the beating heart of your creative ecosystem, built to capture pristine audio without breaking a sweat.
Maximize Your Inputs, Minimize Your Headaches
You need to patch in a drum kit, a rack of outboard gear, and a temperamental vintage synth. The LT16 swallows complex routing for breakfast. With a massive array of analog inputs, you can leave your gear plugged in, dialed up, and ready to record at a moment's notice.
Pristine MAX-HD Preamps: Eight ultra-clean MAX-HD microphone preamps deliver up to +75 dB of gain, perfect for ribbon mics or low-output dynamics. Capture everything from a whisper to a booming kick drum with exceptional clarity.
Extensive Line Connectivity: With 14 total line inputs — six front-panel combo jacks and eight rear-panel TRS inputs — connecting external preamps, analog mixers, or outboard gear is seamless.
Dual Instrument Inputs: Two Fender-designed instrument inputs on the front panel let you plug in your guitar or bass quickly, capturing pure, uncolored tone without the hassle of reaching behind your setup.
Bridge the Analog-Digital Divide
Connecting analog gear to your digital setup can be tricky, but the LT16 makes it simple. This interface seamlessly bridges your DAW and physical hardware with lightning-fast, studio-grade conversion. The result? Your tracks sound just as massive on screen as they do in the room.
Flawless Conversion & Low Latency: Experience real-time tracking with custom low-latency drivers and high-performance 24-bit/192 kHz converters. No lag, no interruptions — just smooth, uninterrupted music creation.
DC-Coupled Outputs & MIDI: Perfect for modular synth enthusiasts, DC-coupled outputs let you send control voltage (CV) directly from your software to analog setups. The 5-pin MIDI I/O ensures precise synchronization with sequencers and drum machines.
Seamless Loopback Audio: Whether you're podcasting, streaming, or sampling browser audio, integrated loopback functionality makes it easy to route your computer's audio directly into your DAW — no need for complicated setups or virtual cables.
A Versatile Presence in the Control Room
Sometimes you need a massive audio interface, and sometimes you just need a capable mixer or a rack of preamps. The LT16 shifts shapes to suit your session, acting as a standalone brain or a dedicated expansion unit when your recording needs pivot.
Standalone & Mic Pre Modes: Use the LT16 without a computer. Standalone Mixer Mode integrates seamlessly with your hardware, while Mic Pre Mode turns the LT16 into an 8-channel analog front-end for your studio setup.
Fender Studio Pro Included: Start recording instantly with a perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro, valued at $199.99. This full-featured DAW includes exclusive Mustang and Rumble plug-ins, delivering iconic guitar and bass tones right out of the box.
Integrated My Fender Access: Register, update, and manage your gear effortlessly. My Fender access ensures firmware is always up to date, keeping your workflow smooth and free from technical issues.
A Complete Project Studio Powerhouse
The Fender Quantum LT16 delivers relentless reliability and staggering sonic detail to your desk. From capturing the frantic energy of a live band to sequencing a sprawling modular patch, this interface provides the headroom, hardware, and heavy-duty performance you need to create your best music yet.
