Fender QUANTUM HD 8
Product information "Fender QUANTUM HD 8"
The Fender Quantum HD 8 is a state-of-the-art USB audio interface, ideal for professional music production. With its compact rackmount design (19"/1HE) it not only saves space but also delivers impressive flexibility and precision for your recordings.
With 26 simultaneously usable input channels, including 8 XLR/1/4-inch combo mic inputs and 8 line inputs, you're well equipped to record a full band or multiple instruments at once. The Hi-Z inputs on channels 1 and 2 also let you plug guitars and basses in directly without needing additional DI boxes.
The Quantum HD 8 supports a wide range of operating systems, including macOS, iOS, Windows and Android, giving you maximum flexibility in choosing your working environment. With a maximum sample rate of 192 kHz and 32-bit resolution, the interface delivers studio-quality recordings, rounded off by an impressive dynamic range of 124 dB.
The Auto Gain function ensures you reach optimal recording levels at the touch of a button, while the re-amp outputs let you process recorded signals later with amps or effects. In addition, the interface offers digital expandability via ADAT and S/PDIF, so you can handle larger sessions with ease.
Operation of the Quantum HD 8 is handled either via the intuitive Universal Control software or the Fender Studio Pro DAW. This software not only lets you remotely control the preamps and outputs but also makes it easy to route monitor and loopback signals, which is especially useful for streaming and live performances.
A full, perpetual version of the Fender Studio Pro DAW is included.
