Description

The Allen & Heath XONE:K3 Universal DJ MIDI controller puts total hands-on control right where you need it, whether you're spinning a live set, producing in the studio or running a hybrid performance rig. With 52 tactile controls, including 30 RGB-lit buttons, 12 rotary pots, 6 endless encoders, and four smooth 60mm faders, you have everything you need for dialing in effects, cueing tracks or blending transitions. You can customize three user-defined layers to access up to 174 assignable parameters, making it easy to flip between setups or bring back complex mappings in seconds. USB-C and X:Link connections make integrating with Xone mixers or linking multiple devices completely seamless, and the compact chassis is built to handle the demands of real-world gigs. If you're looking for precise, dependable control over your hardware and software, the XONE:K3 has your back.

Three Independent Layers With Up to 174 Assignable Controls

Three user-defined layers let you map every knob, button and fader to individual MIDI commands, with latching options for advanced setups. Each layer can store up to 58 controls, and all layers switch instantly with dedicated buttons. This system allows DJs to create complex hybrid performances, manage effects chains or trigger samples across multiple decks. With instant recall and storage, performers can move between sets and workflows without downtime.

RGB LED Feedback for Real-Time Performance Cues

Thirty backlit buttons and encoder push-switches feature RGB LEDs with a 16-color palette. Each control provides clear visual feedback, so users see exactly which functions are active—even in a dark club or studio. Assign colors to layers or specific functions for fast identification. Real-time visual cues reduce mistakes during fast transitions and live sets.

Flexible Connectivity With USB-C and X:Link

USB-C allows direct connection to computers, tablets and other devices, supporting star topology for multiple controllers. X:Link expands compatibility with Xone mixers, making it easy to sync with models like the Xone:96, PX5 or 43C. The controller is bus powered, so no separate power supply is needed. This flexible setup supports large, multi-device rigs and works with Windows, macOS, iOS and Android systems without drivers.

Diecast Metal Chassis for Long-Term Durability

All controls are housed in a diecast metal body built for touring and club use. Nutted pots and tactile switches withstand daily transport and repeated use. The slim profile fits alongside mixers without taking up extra space, and the 2.2 lb weight keeps it stable in any setup. Rugged construction means users can rely on consistent performance over time.

XONE:K3 Experience: Precision Control for Advanced Setups

DJs, producers and live performers who demand deep integration will appreciate the XONE:K3 hardware. Its layered mapping, robust construction and visual feedback help users create custom workflows for complex sets or studio sessions. The ability to recall and share setups means every performance starts with confidence and control.
