Product Overview
The Fender Link I/O is a pocket‑sized USB‑C audio interface designed for musicians who need professional sound quality on the go. Weighing just 7 oz and measuring 6.25 × 6.25 × 2.1 in, it fits easily into a gig bag or backpack. It features a high‑impedance TS instrument input that behaves like a Fender amp preamp, a 1/8″ stereo headphone jack with independent mix control, and studio‑grade 24‑bit/96 kHz converters. The device is bus‑powered via USB‑C, eliminating the need for an external power brick, and it works with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, iOS/iPadOS and Android devices. Compatibility extends to popular DAWs such as Fender Studio, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Logic Pro and many more.

Connect the interface to a laptop in a home studio, a tablet on a stage, or a smartphone in a coffee shop, and you have a full‑featured recording solution. Guitarists and bassists benefit from the amp‑like input that preserves dynamics and nuance, while vocalists can use the headphone mix to balance playback and live mic input.
