Learn from B&H Experts

From Manufacturer

Ideal for project studios, drum recording, ensembles, and electronic musicians, the Fender Quantum LT 16 is a 16x8 USB-C audio interface combining PreSonus conversion with two Fender-designed Hi-Z instrument inputs. With eight XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs on the front, DC-coupled outputs, and eight balanced line inputs, this interface can handle projects big and small.

The eight line inputs feature selectable +4 dBu or -10 dBV operation, ensuring they can support mic preamps, synths, mixers, and many other devices. With front-panel jacks, the Quantum LT 16 sports 14 line inputs total. The eight MAX-HD mic preamps provide up to 75 dB of transparent gain. The interface offers a balanced 1/4" TRS stereo pair for the main output and six DC-coupled 1/4" outputs for integrating modular and analog synthesizers. The 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O keeps you synchronized with legacy MIDI hardware. AD/DA up to 24-bit / 192 kHz ensures pristine audio quality. With features like loopback for podcasting, standalone Mixer mode for DAW-free mixing, and Mic Pre mode for using the interface as a pure eight-mic preamp, the Quantum LT 16 can bend to fit any application, private or professional. The Quantum LT 16 includes a free perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro.

For Project Studios and Hybrid Workflows
The Fender Quantum LT 16 is built for project studios, multi-instrument setups, and electronic musicians demanding maximum flexibility. Eight MAX-HD mic preamps (+75 dB of gain) capture pristine sound from large ensembles or multi-mic setups. Fourteen total analog line inputs (six front-panel combo inputs plus eight rear-panel 1/4" TRS inputs) allow seamless integration of external mic preamps, synths, mixers, and line-level devices, expanding creative possibilities.
Versatile I/O and Performance
DC-coupled outputs connect to modular and analog synths via control voltage, while 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O ensures easy hardware integration. Custom low-latency drivers and high-performance converters provide ultraresponsive recordin. Loopback functionality simplifies streaming, podcasting, and flexible monitoring. Standalone Mixer mode and Mic Pre mode expand LT 16’s versatility, letting it serve as a simple mixer or 8-channel mic preamp in hybrid setups.
Software Features
A perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro (a $199.99 value) is included, giving you a professional DAW with exclusive Mustang and Rumble plug-ins. Built-in My Fender access ensures fast setup and support, making LT 16 the centerpiece of any professional or hybrid studio.

Fender Quantum LT 16 Reviews

Simply Perfect.

OK, so there aren't a lot of bells and whistles on this. No fancy meters or displays. But it just works perfectly. The sound quality is very clean, with plenty of headroom. And the software is straightforward, easy to install and use. And there aren't many units out there that have 16 channels of input in single rack space format. Logic Pro recognized it without any issues. Love it.
