Description

The Fender Quantum LT 16 is the flagship interface of the LT series, built for creators who need professional sound quality, deep connectivity, and effortless hybrid studio integration. Featuring sixteen total inputs and eight outputs, LT 16 delivers the flexibility required for multi-mic recording, synth-heavy setups, ensemble tracking, and hardware-focused workflows. At its core are eight MAX-HD microphone preamps, each delivering an impressive +75 dB of clean, low-noise gain. Whether capturing drum kits, full bands, Foley sessions, or fragile ribbon mics, LT 16 provides pristine detail without the need for external boosters. Two Fender-designed instrument inputs ensure guitars and basses sound clear, dynamic, and ready for production. With six front-panel XLR/TRS combo inputs and eight rear-panel TRS line inputs, integrating external mic pres, synthesizers, mixers, or other line-level hardware is effortless. DC-coupled outputs unlock direct CV control for modular and analog synth rigs, while 5-pin MIDI I/O brings tight hardware synchronization to any setup. Custom low-latency drivers and high-quality converters provide a responsive, natural monitoring experience ideal for recording, streaming, and performance. Balanced TRS outputs and a powerful headphone amp deliver accurate monitoring for tracking or mixing. LT 16 also includes advanced standalone functionality. Mixer Mode transforms it into a simple analog mixer without a computer, while Mic Pre Mode turns the interface into an 8-channel outboard mic preamp, perfect for expanding larger rigs. With loopback support for streaming, remote mixer control via Fender Studio Pro and Universal Control, and built-in My Fender access for setup and support, LT 16 gives you a complete studio centerpiece. A perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro is included, offering a full DAW and exclusive Mustang and Rumble amp plug-ins right out of the box. The Fender Quantum LT 16 is the ultimate hub for hybrid studios, electronic musicians, multi-instrument creators, and anyone who demands maximum flexibility without complexity.
