Built to anchor demanding studio environments, the Fender Quantum HD 8 is a high-performance 26 x 30 USB-C recording interface designed for full-band sessions, multi-instrument tracking and advanced production workflows. MAX-HD mic preamps with up to +75dB of clean gain pair with 32-bit/192kHz conversion to deliver wide dynamic range, depth and detail across every source. With expanded analog and digital I/O, low-latency performance and comprehensive software control, the Quantum HD 8 provides the clarity and flexibility required for professional recording without adding complexity to the workflow.
MAX-HD Mic Preamps With High Gain and Transparent Consistency
At the heart of Quantum HD 8 are next-generation MAX-HD mic preamps engineered for transparency, headroom and low-noise operation. Providing up to +75dB of clean gain, they are well suited for condensers, dynamics and ribbon microphones, reducing reliance on external boosters in many setups. Vocals retain detail, drums maintain transient impact and acoustic instruments preserve natural tone—supporting consistent, predictable results across complex, multi-mic recording sessions.
Fender Instrument Inputs and Re-Amping for Flexible Tone Capture
Front-facing Fender-designed instrument inputs offer direct clarity for guitars and basses, preserving articulation and dynamics with a natural response. Auto Gain assists with fast session setup, while dedicated re-amp outputs enable routing recorded tracks through amps, pedals and outboard hardware for tone shaping and creative reprocessing. This combination makes HD 8 effective for tracking, sound design and hybrid production workflows.
Low-Latency Performance With Advanced Monitoring and Loopback
Custom low-latency drivers and 32-bit/192kHz converters support responsive real-time monitoring across large sessions with multiple inputs and outputs. Balanced TRS outputs accommodate complex monitoring configurations, while the DSP monitor mixer allows flexible cue mixes without relying on DAW-based monitoring. Integrated loopback routing supports streaming, podcasting and multi-application recording in streamlined setups.
Expanded Digital I/O and Remote Software Control
Quantum HD 8 is built to scale, with digital expansion via 16 channels of ADAT, S/PDIF connectivity and ADAT preamp standalone mode for integrating external gear. Full system control is available through Fender Studio Pro and the Universal Control app, enabling remote adjustment of preamp gain, phantom power, routing and monitoring from desktop or mobile devices—keeping larger sessions organized and adaptable.
A Professional Interface Designed for Growth and Hybrid Workflows
Combining expanded I/O, MAX-HD preamps, re-amping capability and studio-grade conversion in a rack-ready design, the Fender Quantum HD 8 provides a solid foundation for professional production environments. Well suited for full-band recording, content creation and evolving hybrid studios, it balances audio quality with efficient control for long-term workflow management.
