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.
Ultra-low-latency wireless monitoring with SonicLink-compatible DJ headphones
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.
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 the mixer settings, so you can quickly check and adjust the mixer’s status on-screen.
