More affordable than the Xone:K2 it replaces, the K3 is the latest update to A+H's MIDI DJ controller range. With 52 physical controls across three independent layers, the K3 offers a wealth of assignable, customisable controls for your DJ software.
Supplier's Notes:
Xone:K3 is a professional MIDI controller designed for DJs, producers, and performers who need the ultimate in hands-on control of their software and hardware setups.
Whether you're performing in a club, streaming a hybrid set, producing in the studio, or shaping visuals, K3 provides the tools to create the perfect workflow for your creative environment.
The Professional's Choice. Perfected.
Whether you're mapping for a live performance or fine-tuning your studio setup, Xone:K3 gives you complete control of your software and hardware environment. With compatibility for existing K1 and K2 mappings, the K3 is designed to be instantly familiar to Xone K series users who can use it as a drop-in replacement for their existing K controller.
The free Xone Controller Editor app gives you full control over every aspect of the K3's behaviour. Assign MIDI CC and Note data, define RGB feedback colours, customise layers, and save maps to internal memory, your library, or as portable files for easy sharing or backup.
Unmatched Features in a Compact Format.
Xone:K3 offers an unrivalled combination of tactile controls in a single unit: faders for smooth transitions, encoders and pots for precision control of all parameter types, and responsive backlit buttons for performance or cueing. With 52 physical controls and 3 fully independent layers, you can assign up to 174 individual MIDI parameters, perfect for complex hybrid or live setups.
Premium Build Quality.
Housed in a durable diecast metal chassis, Xone:K3 is built for real-world use. Nutted pots, tactile buttons, and solid construction make it road-ready and reliable, while the slim form factor fits neatly alongside mixers in club or studio setups.
Connect. Expand. Control.
The Xone:K3 features both USB-C and X:Link connectivity, making it compatible with Xone mixers including the Xone:96, PX5, 43C, and 23C. Support for star-topology setups means multiple K3 units can be connected, recognised independently by your software, and named for simple control across larger setups.
Class Compliant. Simple Setup.
As a class-compliant USB MIDI device, K3 requires no drivers and works with any system supporting MIDI control: macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android
