AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ

Professional 4-Channel All-in-One DJ System (Black)

Designed to be the ultimate all-in-one DJ experience, the AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ is a powerful, 4-deck controller with the layout and feature set of a club-standard setup, providing a professional performance environment that elevates your DJ sets to new heights. The unit inherits the layout and feel of the CDJ-3000 multi-player and DJM-A9 mixer.

The XDJ-AZ offers some significant updates and enhancements over its predecessor, including built-in Wi-Fi, which allows you to play songs from cloud-based libraries and perform with up-to-date performance information. You can also play tracks from Beatport’s vast catalog of music. A built-in transmitter offers quick sync to the HDJ-F10 SonicLink-compatible professional DJ headphones via an ultralow-latency wireless connection. With 4 decks, you can get creative with your performances by adding extra sounds to your mix, while the 10.1″ capacitive touchscreen makes track selection and menu navigation easier than ever.

Club-Standard DJ Experience for Complete Control

• The XDJ-AZ inherits the layout and feel of the flagship CDJ-3000 and DJM-A9 to give you an intuitive experience. When you perform on the system, it feels as if you’re one with the decks, allowing for more creative performances.
• Full-size jog wheels that feel just like those on the CDJ-3000, pitch bending and scratching on the XDJ-AZ are incredibly smooth.
• The mixer section inherits the intuitive layout of the DJM-A9, with all controls positioned to maximize playability.
• Features user-friendly buttons for assigning Beat FX to help you express yourself through the music.
• Once you’ve mastered the XDJ-AZ, you’ll be familiar with the way club-standard equipment works and feels, making it much easier perform at your best in clubs.

Built-In Wi-Fi and Support for Various Media Types

Access your cloud-based rekordbox library directly from the XDJ-AZ with CloudDirectPlay. You can use the latest version of your playlists and performance data, such as Hot Cue information, and even update it from the unit. This not only ensures a seamless DJ experience, but also allows you to do all your preparation solely from your all-in-one system.

StreamingDirectPlay Compatibility

• With support for Beatport Streaming, the StreamingDirectPlay feature enables you to directly play tracks from Beatport’s vast dance music library and the latest genre-specific playlists.
• You’ll even get analysis data such as waveform, BPM, and grid information, so you can easily mix new and diverse music into your sets.

Note: to use StreamingDirectPlay on the XDJ-AZ, you will need to subscribe to Beatport Streaming Professional or Advanced plan.

Extensive Device and DJ Application Compatibility

• As well as playing tracks from USB drives, you can DJ by connecting to your PC/Mac or mobile device. And if you want to showcase your individuality even further, you can play audio from external devices like turntables and samplers.
• The unit has a USB Type-C port for PC/Mac connection so, you can use rekordbox for Mac/Windows in Performance mode or Serato DJ Pro, and there’s no need for a paid subscription plan for either.
• Use the Wi-Fi connection for rekordbox Link Export and conveniently access tracks from your PC/Mac or mobile device without needing to plug in cables.

Note: Serato DJ Pro available in December 2024

Large Touchscreen for Seamless Control

• The 10.1″ capacitive touchscreen on the XDJ-AZ doesn’t just give you more visual information, it makes it easier to control everything too
• Up to 13 tracks can be displayed at once, a massive increase from the 8 on the XDJ-XZ, so you can see more of your music and find songs quicker
• Playlist Bank registers up to 4 playlists for rapid access
• Touch Preview allows you to preview tracks in playlists without loading them
• Touch Cue affords a preview of the upcoming section of tracks currently playing on the deck
• Quick and smooth track selection
• Display the status of the selected Performance Pad and Beat FX settings simultaneously, providing you instant information needed for your performance

Standalone 4-Deck Playback

• Whether you want to add more sounds to your mix, create live mashups, go back-to-back with another DJ, or get more tracks lined up, so you’re ready to drop them at the perfect time, 4-deck playback support on the XDJ-AZ gives you the flexibility to perform however you like.
• Seamlessly integrate CDJs into your setup too, so there’s no need to switch decks. With PRO DJ LINK compatibility, beat and on-air information are synced across the players, so you’ll feel in full control.

SonicLink-Compatible for Low Latency Headphone Monitoring

• Thanks to the integrated SonicLink transmitter, you can enjoy ultralow-latency wireless monitoring with the HDJF10 professional DJ headphones. Press a single button to pair the XDJ-AZ with the headphones, and you can move around the DJ booth or stage freely, knowing you’ll never tangle or pull on a cable.
• SonicLink is AlphaTheta’s own proprietary ultralow-latency wireless technology. It transmits audio 20 times faster than the commonly used Bluetooth SBC codec, so you’ll never notice a delay between pressing a button or scratching with the jog wheels and hearing the sound from the output.

Note: the XDJ-AZ does not support a wireless connection with the WAVE-EIGHT portable wireless DJ speaker.

Professional Club-Ready Quality

If you’re familiar with the preceding XDJ-XZ, you’ll notice various upgrades have been made in the design of the XDJ-AZ. By incorporating a 32-bit D/A converter from ESS Technology, the sound quality has been significantly enhanced to create clear and dynamic audio that can rock large venues and clubs. You can also use the 3-band master EQ to tweak the output sound according to the acoustic characteristics of the venue. And the unit features a dedicated button for Mixer Settings, so you can quickly check and adjust the mixer’s status on the screen.
