Power your project with the Quantum HD 8 – the recording interface for project studios and full band recordings.

The culmination of 30 years of innovation, the Quantum HD 8 features eight newly redesigned high-definition MAX-HD mic preamps with +75 dB of gain – making it ideally suited for today’s most popular microphones. Guitarists and bassists will love the instrument inputs, which were co-developed with Fender engineers. An Auto Gain button sets the perfect gain level for your microphones and instruments.

You also get two re-amp outputs so you can send audio from your DAW to your guitar or bass amp and re-record it to experiment with different amps, pedals, and mic placements. An illuminated push encoder provides flexible control over gain level and output volume, and bright and responsive LED metering provides easy visual feedback for your outputs – making it great for self-produced recording.
