Allen & Heath Xone:K3 Universal DJ MIDI Controller

Get in Your Xone with Next-level MIDI Control

Across software, hardware, virtual tools, and physical control points, the evolution of the DJ landscape is pushing the art form to ambitious heights. Allen & Heath lead the charge with the Xone:K3, a third-gen entry in the Xone-series that blends cutting-edge connectivity, versatile customization, and flexible MIDI management into one device. With 52 physical controls and a 3-layer architecture, the K3 supports up to 174 custom assignments per layer for encoders, faders, pots, and RGB-backlit buttons. It’s an essential upgrade for DJs and producers who want seamless integration across Xone ecosystems and class-compliant USB-MIDI compatibility with macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.

Ferocious yet Flexible Performance

Efficiency without compromise defines the Xone:K3. Its 30 backlit buttons and encoder push-switches give instant visual confirmation of mappings and active layers. Rotary pots and faders process MIDI CC signals, while encoders handle both CC and Note assignments, offering depth and versatility for any workflow.

Effortlessly Tailored to Your Workflow

The Xone:K3 integrates easily into DAWs or multi-unit K3 setups via X:Link or USB-C, with Power-over-Ethernet reducing cable clutter. Customization is streamlined with the free Xone Controller Editor app, letting you manage layers, mappings, RGB feedback, and more in one place.
