Audio-Technica has launched the AT-UMX3, its first USB audio mixer for streaming and other applications.
The AT-UMX3 is a compact desktop audio mixer equipped with all the necessary functionality for livestreaming. Its interface ensures first-time users will find the plug-and-play unit easy to operate, with no need to think about equipment settings or install any special drivers. This all-in-one interface is equipped with one XLR/quarter-inch microphone input, two line inputs for guitar and keyboard, and a headphone jack for monitoring.
The AT-UMX3’s loopback function allows users to mix mic and instrument audio with sound from a computer into a single stream, and be confident their audience will hear the same mix. When loopback is turned on, it is possible to play background music while streaming or to stream game sounds and voices at the same time.
The mixer offers easy-to-use features for those new to livestreaming, including an easy-to-understand control panel, microphone mute function to quickly silence the microphone, and a microphone monitor mute function to mute the mic audio only in the mix sent to connected headphones. The mixer’s high-performance A/D converter provides resolution up to 192kHz, 24-bits. Additionally, the AT-UMX3 features an advanced noise-resistant design to prevent the pickup of unwanted electronic noise from smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, and other sources.
The mixer is equipped with professional audio features such as a Neutrik XLR/6.3mm (quarter-inch) combo microphone jack, stable 48V phantom power, a Hi-Z input jack for direct connection of an electric guitar, and a stereo input for a keyboard. The system is compatible not only with Windows and macOS, but also with iOS, iPadOS, and Android OS. Compatibility has also been verified with major livestreaming apps and online chat apps.
The AT-UMX3 provides plug-and-play connectivity to a computer or mobile device with no special driver installation required. The mixer comes with a USB cable (USB Type-C/USB Type-A) and a USB conversion adapter (USB Type-A/USB Type-C).
The AT-UMX3 livestreaming USB audio mixer is now available at an MAP price of US$149.
