Compact DJ MIDI Controller

The Allen & Heath Xone:K3 is a portable professional DJ MIDI controller with 52 tactile hardware controls. It delivers up to 174 discrete MIDI commands across three latchable layers. The unit connects via USB-C and X:Link interfaces for integration with compatible mixer hardware. Class-compliant operation removes the need for driver installation on supported platforms.

Software-focused DJs and mobile performers

This controller suits DJs who rely on software mapping flexibility and need a compact footprint for transport. The free Xone Controller Editor app allows deep customisation of every control per layer. It is not for performers who require built-in audio interfaces, motorised faders, or standalone operation without a computer. Buyers needing integrated sound cards or vinyl emulation hardware should look elsewhere.

Plug-and-play setup with software configuration

Class-compliant support across macOS, iOS, Windows and Android enables immediate recognition without drivers. The USB-C host port supports star topology for linking multiple devices in a chain. X:Link ports connect directly to compatible Xone series mixers for expanded control. The main difficulty lies in mastering the three-layer latching system and assigning 174 commands effectively through the editor app.

Questions about this item

Do I need a computer running macOS, iOS, Windows or Android for the Xone:K3 to operate?

Yes, the controller is class-compliant on macOS, iOS, Windows and Android, so it requires one of those devices to send MIDI data.

Can I link the Xone:K3 to an Xone:96, PX5, 43C, 23C, K2 or DB mixer using the X:Link ports?

Yes, the X:Link IN and OUT ports connect directly to those Xone mixers for integrated control.

How do I verify the RGB LEDs on the 30 buttons and 6 encoder push-switches respond correctly after mapping?

Open the Xone Controller Editor app, load your map, then press each button and encoder switch to confirm the LEDs light in the assigned colours.
