AlphaTheta introduced the XDJ-AZ in October 2024, bringing four-deck playback into an all-in-one DJ system. Its layout draws on the CDJ-3000 player and DJM-A9 mixer, giving DJs a familiar arrangement of full-size jog wheels, channel controls and effects.

A 10.1-inch touchscreen handles browsing and performance information, while built-in Wi-Fi supports cloud and streaming functions. The system also includes SonicLink connectivity for compatible wireless DJ headphones.

The XDJ-AZ expands on the earlier XDJ-XZ with a more complete standalone workflow. AlphaTheta’s official product information details its supported music services, connections and software compatibility.
