Our take on the Audio-Technica AT-UMX3
The Audio-Technica AT-UMX3 is a compact USB audio mixer for streamers who want one mic input and a loopback mix without a full console. At a tracked $159 it was flat across nine points from August 25 to October 19, 2026.
The loopback function is the feature that matters on stream: it lets you mix your mic with game sound or music from the computer into one feed. It has a single mic input that takes XLR or quarter inch, two line inputs, and USB-C. It is plug and play with no drivers, and converts audio at up to 24-bit and 192 kHz. One mic input means no second guest mic. It has 4.2 across 387 retailer ratings.
