Fender Studio Quantum LT 16 USB-C Audio Interface

The Fender Quantum LT 16 is the ultimate interface in the LT series, built for project studios, multi-instrument setups, and electronic musicians who demand maximum flexibility. With eight MAX-HD mic preamps offering a massive 75 dB of gain — the most in its class — LT 16 captures pristine sound from large ensembles, drum kits, or multi-mic sessions. Fender-designed instrument inputs and professional-grade converters ensure guitars, basses, and all your sources sound natural and dynamic. In addition to the six front panel line inputs, the LT 16 features eight rear panel TRS analog line inputs for effortless integration with outboard gear such as external mic preamps, synthesizers, mixers, or other line-level devices — expanding your studio’s sonic palette without complicating your setup.

Fender Quantum LT’s blazing-fast, custom low-latency drivers provide an ultra-responsive recording experience, while balanced TRS outputs and a powerful headphone amp give you versatile monitoring options. LT 16 also unlocks exclusive features: Standalone “Mic Pre Mode” transforms it into an 8-channel mic preamp, DC-coupled outputs bring CV control to your modular synth rig, and 5-pin MIDI I/O ensures seamless hardware integration. A perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro is included, offering a professional DAW with exclusive Mustang and Rumble plug-ins.
