Who makes the K3 and where does it sit in their range?

What features does the Soundcraft K3 include for live operation?

What should I check when buying a second-hand Soundcraft K3?
Check which frame size and module configuration the unit carries, as the K3 comes in 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48-channel versions and the module complement affects what the desk can do.
