REVIEWS
Modders-Inc
Overall, the Sound Blaster K3+ would make a welcomes addition to your streaming setup. If you’re still using a USB mic, like the Blue Yeti, switching to the K3+ will allow you to use an XLR mic, which will give you far better audio quality than any USB mic out there. Top that with the amount of features the Sound Blaster K3+ has to offer, and the control it can give you over your audio, this interface can really increase the quality of your streams.
