Our take on the Audio-Technica AT-UMX3 Desktop Mixer
The Audio-Technica AT-UMX3 is a small USB desktop mixer for streamers who want one XLR mic plus loopback on a tight desk. At a tracked $159 it sits at the top of its $119 to $159 range since July 13, 2026, so a sale could take $40 off.
The loopback function mixes mic and instrument inputs with game sounds or music from the PC, then sends the stereo mix back for streaming. It has one mic input, XLR or 1/4 inch, plus two line inputs meant for a guitar and a keyboard, and USB-C. The listing says no special drivers are needed. At 12 ounces it is easy to move. Retailers rate it 4.2 across 384 ratings.
