Key Features of the AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ

Club-Standard Layout and Enhanced Jog Wheels

The XDJ-AZ inherits its jog wheels from the flagship Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000, offering unparalleled accuracy and smoothness. These tactile jog wheels, standard in professional DJ booths and festivals worldwide, ensure a premium feel and performance.

The mixer section has been revamped for a clean, uncluttered design, with settings and options now accessible via the 10.1-inch multi-touch display. This intuitive approach, inspired by the Opus-Quad, creates a DJM-style mixer layout that is easy to configure and use.

The XDJ-AZ’s familiar layout ensures DJs can jump right into their mixes, aided by simple four-deck mixing controls and visual feedback on the large display. Deck switching is effortless with the convenient 1/3 and 2/4 deck selector buttons.

SonicLink Wireless Headphone Connectivity

Break free from cables with SonicLink, which allows low-latency wireless headphone connectivity. Compatible with HDJ-F10 headphones, SonicLink delivers a seamless, high-performance listening experience without compromising audio quality.

Built-In Wi-Fi and Cloud Integration

Access your music library from anywhere using Rekordbox CloudPlay, or stream tracks directly through Beatport Streaming with the StreamingDirectPlay feature. Both services require a Rekordbox or Beatport subscription, providing DJs with instant access to an expansive catalog of tracks.

Superior Sound Quality

The XDJ-AZ is equipped with a 32-bit digital-to-analog converter from ESS Technology, delivering warm, powerful sound with rich detail. Perfect for small venues, studios, or club preparation, the XDJ-AZ ensures your tracks are heard with precision and depth.

Multi-Device Compatibility

The XDJ-AZ supports USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, alongside compatibility with Mac, PC, Android, and iOS devices. It functions as a hardware unlock device for Rekordbox from launch and will be Serato DJ-compatible starting December 2024.

Performance Pads and USB Connectivity

The XDJ-AZ includes 16 large performance pads for dynamic control and creativity. Its USB functionality features three inputs (two top-loading for USB devices and one for laptop connection), making back-to-back performances and DJ handovers seamless. Additionally, Gate Cue mode allows Hot Cues to play only while pads are pressed, adding versatility to your performance.

Future-Ready Design

The XDJ-AZ combines Pioneer DJ’s most popular features with the latest innovations, including new MPU architecture for ongoing upgradability. Whether in the studio or on stage, this system provides everything a DJ needs for high-level performances.
