Blazing-fast flagship
)
The Fender Quantum LT 16 is the most comprehensive audio interface in the LT series, designed for professional recording applications. It features eight newly developed MAX-HD microphone preamps, each offering up to +75dB of gain, allowing even low-output microphones to be captured with clarity, while high-performance converters deliver a dynamic and natural sound. With 48V phantom power available on every input, condenser and ribbon microphones can be connected directly without requiring an additional preamp or booster. The Quantum LT also combines high-quality converters with low-latency drivers for a responsive recording experience. It is one of the first hardware releases following Fender's acquisition of PreSonus, alongside the evolution of the former PreSonus Studio One DAW into Fender Studio Pro.

Dynamic, natural, present
The 16x8 USB audio interface features a USB-C port (USB 2.0), a stereo headphone output for flexible monitoring, eight combo microphone inputs and eight TRS line inputs. Its instrument inputs are optimised for guitar, bass, and other instruments, while the integrated loopback function simplifies streaming and content creation, including podcast production. For standalone operation, Mixer Mode allows the Fender Quantum LT 16 to function as an analogue-style mixer without a computer, while Mic Pre mode enables it to be used as an external microphone preamp. Compared with the two smaller models in the series, the LT 16 also adds MIDI connectivity and DC-coupled outputs.
For professional use
As the flagship model in the LT series, the Fender Quantum LT 16 is designed for professional recording studios, larger sessions with multiple instruments, and electronic music production. It combines high-quality recording capabilities with a straightforward workflow and a comprehensive feature set, while integration with Universal Control and Fender Studio Pro allows mix settings to be managed remotely. In standalone Mixer Mode, the interface operates as a self-contained analogue-style mixer for multitrack recording in the studio, live environments, and mobile setups. Bus-powered operation helps reduce cabling, making installation and transport more straightforward. Audio conversion is supported at up to 24-bit/192 kHz, with a THD+N figure of 0.001% and a maximum input level of +4dBu.

About Fender
Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today's music industry.

Designed to meet individual requirements
The audio interface is part of a wider LT series, from which users can easily choose a model that matches their specific recording requirements and existing studio setup. Alongside the compact Fender Quantum LT 2 with 2 inputs and 2 outputs, the range also includes the Fender Quantum LT 4 with 4 inputs and 2 outputs, as well as the flagship Fender Quantum LT 16 shown here, which provides 16 inputs and eight outputs. Despite its expanded connectivity, the LT 16 remains relatively compact at 483 × 127 × 44 mm and weighs 2.2kg. All three interfaces provide a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and a dynamic range of 116dB. Fender Studio Pro is included with every model as a download, with the LT 2 and LT 4 supplied with a six-month trial version and the LT 16 including a perpetual licence.
In the spotlight
Fender Studio Pro
The Fender Quantum LT 16 is controlled via Fender Studio Pro, the company's all-in-one music production software. Essentially an updated version of PreSonus Studio One Pro, it retains the core technology of its predecessor while introducing a revised interface and a range of new features. These include a more streamlined workflow, new overview functions and AI-powered audio-to-MIDI capabilities, while effects from Mustang Native and Rumble Native further expand the available sonic palette. Existing content, plugins and Studio One Pro projects remain compatible, allowing users to carry their previous work into the updated environment.
