Sound Blaster K3+ USB Recording & Streaming Mixer: Level Up Your Setup - MMORPG.com
Everyone knows Creative Labs as one of the go to manufacturers for computer soundcards. But they make other peripherals for computers as well. They just stepped up their game by coming out with their first audio interface mixer in the brand-new SoundBlaster K3+. It's time to dig deep and see what their first offering brings to the table.

Material quality seems to be the direction they went with this mixer. But even after gold plated connectors (helps prevent corrosion, lowers SNR) I'm curious how it's rated 93db?
Maybe it's just me, but this screams "Bad Deal" at me. And much better options available for beginners.

Cheaper, more options, better sound quality. And the MIDAS pre-amps are pretty awesome. Great for streamers, great for home audio in general on a lot better of a buck.
Here's the biggest thing about this which some people might not understand.
Ease of use.
Some people could look at what you linked and be overwhelmed by everything on it. But the K3+ is simple and made for the novice in mind. That is one of it's key selling points.
