AlphaTheta Corporation announces the release of the XDJ-AZ, a powerful new 4-deck all-in-one DJ system with the layout and features of a club-standard setup. This new unit has been designed to offer the
ultimate all-in-one DJ experience, significantly evolving the features and usability of its predecessor, the XDJ-XZ.
As a permanent fixture for venues such as clubs, event spaces, and studios, or for DJs who take their gear on the
road, this single unit provides a professional performance environment that elevates your DJ sets to new heights
wherever you play.
Be at one with the decks when you perform on the XDJ-AZ, which inherits the layout and feel of the CDJ-3000 multi
player and DJM-A9 mixer. To give you access to brand-new tracks and your latest music library, the all-in-one DJ
system has built-in Wi-Fi®. So, you can play songs from cloud-based libraries and perform with up-to-date
performance information, such as Hot Cues, anytime, anywhere. And you can play tracks from Beatport’s vast
catalog. This, coupled with the unit’s multi-device support, gives you the choice to play with music from various
types of media.
With 4-deck playback, you can get even more creative in your performances by adding extra sounds to your mix,
and the 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen makes track selection and menu navigation easier than ever. A built-in
transmitter enables quick and simple syncing of the XDJ-AZ and the HDJ-F10 SonicLink-compatible professional
DJ headphones via an ultra-low-latency wireless connection, and the system features even better sound quality
than its predecessors. Combining the latest tech with the most intuitive layout, the XDJ-AZ ushers in the future of
all-in-one DJ systems.

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 at one with the decks, allowing for more creative
performances. With 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. And it features user-friendly buttons for assigning Beat FX to help you express
yourself through the music. So, when you’ve mastered the XDJ-AZ, you’ll be familiar with the way club-standard
equipment works and feels, making it much easier to perform at your best in clubs.

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.
* You’ll need a subscription to the rekordbox Creative or Professional plan, or Cloud Option to use rekordbox CloudDirectPlay

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.
*To use StreamingDirectPlay on the XDJ-AZ, you’ll need to subscribe to the Beatport Streaming Professional or Advanced
plan.

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*1 and there’s no need for a paid subscription plan for either. And, if you use
the Wi-Fi® connection for rekordbox Link Export, you can conveniently access tracks from your PC/Mac or mobile
device without needing to plug in cables.

The 10.1-inch 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. Other advanced features include Playlist
Bank, to which you can register up to 4 playlists for rapid access, Touch Preview, which allows you to preview
tracks in playlists without loading them, and Touch Cue, which you can use to preview the upcoming section of
tracks currently playing on the deck. All this makes track selection quick and smooth. And, with the option to
display the status of the selected Performance Pad and Beat FX settings simultaneously, you can instantly grasp
the information you need in order to perform.

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. You can 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.

Thanks to the integrated SonicLink transmitter, you can enjoy ultra-low-latency wireless monitoring with the
HDJ-F10 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 ultra-low-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.
*The XDJ-AZ doesn’t support a wireless connection with the WAVE-EIGHT portable wireless DJ speaker

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 the mixer settings, so you can quickly check and adjust the mixer’s status on-screen.
