AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ — 4-Channel Standalone DJ System
The ultimate standalone setup — no laptop required.
The AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ is the most powerful all-in-one DJ system ever built under the Pioneer DJ / AlphaTheta lineage. It combines the performance of a full CDJ-3000 and DJM-A9 rig into a single, tour-ready unit, giving professional DJs true 4-channel standalone mixing freedom for the first time.
Whether you're headlining a festival, holding residency at a club, or building an elite home studio, the XDJ-AZ delivers the layout, sound quality, and connectivity that the world's top DJs demand.
Who is the AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ for?
The XDJ-AZ is built for professional and semi-professional DJs who want a permanent, high-performance setup that mirrors the gear found in the best clubs worldwide. It's ideal for:
- DJs who currently use a CDJ/mixer setup and want a single, space-saving alternative
- Artists who perform with 4 tracks simultaneously and need standalone 4-deck control
- Tech-forward performers who want cloud streaming, Serato, and rekordbox all in one unit
- Home studio owners who want a club-standard rig without buying separate players and a mixer
If you're still on the XDJ-RX3, the jump to the XDJ-AZ is significant: you go from 2 standalone channels to 4, gain SonicLink wireless headphone monitoring, a larger touchscreen display, full-size jog wheels with on-jog displays, and substantially improved audio converters.
Why Upgrade to the XDJ-AZ?
-
True 4-Deck Freedom: Finally, a standalone unit that lets you play four tracks simultaneously. No laptop, no distractions—just pure performance.
-
Flagship Club Layout: Inheriting the DNA of the CDJ-3000, the full-size jog wheels and tactile controls feel identical to a pro booth setup.
-
Cloud-Connected Mixing: With built-in Wi-Fi and CloudDirectPlay, you can access your entire rekordbox library or streaming services directly from the hardware.
-
Studio-Grade Audio: High-performance D/A converters ensure that whether you're in a bedroom or a festival, your sound is punchy, clear, and professional.
Key Features
True 4-deck standalone playback
For the first time, you can mix four tracks simultaneously without a laptop or external CDJs. Load up four USB drives or pull tracks directly from the cloud — the XDJ-AZ handles it all natively.
Full-size jog wheels with on-jog display
Inheriting the DNA of the CDJ-3000, the jog wheels are the same full-size platters found in professional booths worldwide. The on-jog display shows track position and artwork so you always know exactly where you are in the mix.
High-resolution multi-touch display
The large central touchscreen displays all four deck waveforms simultaneously, lets you search your library with a QWERTY keyboard, and gives you fast, intuitive access to all system settings and performance features.
4-channel mixer with Beat FX & Sound Colour FX
A full professional mixing section sits at the heart of the XDJ-AZ. Dedicated 3-band EQs per channel, Sound Colour FX, and a comprehensive Beat FX suite give you the same creative tools found on the DJM-A9, all built in.
SonicLink wireless monitoring
The XDJ-AZ integrates with AlphaTheta's HDJ-F10 headphones via SonicLink technology, delivering ultra-low latency wireless audio monitoring. Move freely in the booth without being tethered to a cable.
Cloud-connected & streaming ready
With built-in Wi-Fi and CloudDirectPlay support, access your full rekordbox library from anywhere. Compatible with major music streaming services, bringing tens of millions of tracks directly to your setup.
Professional connectivity
Connect turntables or CDJs via Phono/Line inputs, network with other hardware via Pro DJ Link, or plug into a laptop for full Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox software control. The XDJ-AZ fits every workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the XDJ-AZ support 4-channel standalone playback?
Yes. Unlike the XDJ-RX3 and previous all-in-one units, the XDJ-AZ plays four tracks simultaneously in full standalone mode — no laptop or external CDJs needed.
Can I use the XDJ-AZ with Serato DJ Pro?
Yes. Connect via USB to your laptop and the XDJ-AZ works as a full Serato DJ Pro controller, in addition to its native standalone capabilities.
Is it compatible with my rekordbox library?
Fully. The XDJ-AZ supports rekordbox CloudDirectPlay and Device Analysis. All your Hot Cues, loops, and playlists transfer seamlessly.
What streaming services does it support?
The XDJ-AZ supports major streaming platforms accessible via rekordbox. Check the current AlphaTheta documentation for the latest supported services, as this list is updated via firmware.
Does the SonicLink feature work with any headphones?
SonicLink wireless monitoring is specifically designed to work with AlphaTheta's HDJ-F10 headphones. Standard Bluetooth headphones are not supported for this feature.
What warranty does the XDJ-AZ come with?
The AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ comes with the manufacturer's standard warranty. As an authorised UK AlphaTheta dealer, DJKIT® provides full warranty support — contact us on 01635 780002 for details.
How does the XDJ-AZ compare to a CDJ-3000 + DJM-A9 setup?
The XDJ-AZ delivers a very similar performance experience in a single unit at a significantly lower price point. A two-player CDJ-3000 setup with a DJM-A9 mixer costs over £6,000 and still only gives you 2 hardware players. The XDJ-AZ gives you 4 standalone channels in one unit at £2,999. The trade-off is flexibility — a separate CDJ/mixer setup can be used with different mixers or players independently.
Can I use a USB stick, and is there a limit on library size?
Yes, standard USB drives work natively. For larger libraries, CloudDirectPlay via rekordbox is recommended to avoid file size limitations on physical media.
