PreSonus Quantum LT 16 USB-C Audio-Interface

PreSonus Quantum LT 16 USB-C audio interface

The PreSonus Quantum LT 16 is the flagship of the LT series - developed for professional applications in the studio, for bands, in complex setups and for producers who expect maximum flexibility and sound quality. With a total of 16 inputs, eight MAX-HD microphone preamps and comprehensive routing logic, this interface is equipped for almost any recording situation - from multitrack recordings to modular synthesizer setups.

MAX-HD preamps and sparkling clean conversion

The eight MAX-HD microphone preamps provide you with up to +75 dB gain - more than enough even for quiet signals or ribbon microphones. This is supported by precise 24-bit converters and a sample rate of up to 192 kHz. The instrument inputs are specially tuned for guitars and basses and get the maximum dynamics and presence out of your playing.

Perfect for large setups and complex signals

The LT 16 offers 14 analog line inputs - including six XLR/TRS combo sockets on the front and eight TRS inputs on the rear (switchable between +4 dBu and -10 dBV). So you can easily connect synthesizers, external preamps or mixers - there's room for all your equipment. DC-coupled outputs enable direct control of voltage-controlled modules in your Eurorack or modular system.

Standalone modes for maximum independence

You don't need a computer to make good use of the Quantum LT 16: In "Mic Pre Mode", it works like a standalone 8-channel microphone preamp. In "Mixer Mode", you can use it as a fully-fledged mixer for simple live or studio setups - ideal for recording without a DAW.

Professional monitoring and routing

Balanced TRS outputs and a powerful headphone amp enable high-quality monitoring. The loopback function allows you to integrate system sounds and microphone signals for podcasts, live streams or online content. Everything is conveniently controlled via Fender Studio Pro or the Universal Control app - for quick mix setups, level control and routing settings.
