The Fender Quantum LT 4 is a 4x2 USB-C interface with two MAX-HD mic preamps and two dedicated instrument inputs. Loopback routing and a headphone amp suit streaming and podcasts, at a lower price than four-preamp units.

What we liked

  • + Two MAX-HD mic preamps with 75 dB of gain plus two instrument inputs, four inputs in total
  • + Loopback audio routing brings computer sound into a stream or podcast recording
  • + Balanced TRS outputs, a headphone amp and direct monitoring control via Fender Studio Pro or Universal Control

Trade-offs

  • - Only two of the four inputs are mic preamps, so it cannot record four XLR microphones at once
  • - A 4x2 layout has just two line outputs, limiting it to one pair of monitors
