4-Deck Playback and Club Feel

With standalone 4-deck playback, up to four tracks can be played simultaneously from USB storage media without the need for a computer. This opens up numerous possibilities for complex transitions, live mashups and creative mixing techniques. The 206 mm jog wheels offer a feel based on the CDJ-3000 and enable precise beatmatching and scratching. The mixer section adopts key controls from the DJM-A9 and offers direct access to Sound Color FX and Beat FX.

10.1-Inch Touchscreen for Fast Navigation

The capacitive 10.1-inch colour touchscreen ensures convenient navigation through extensive music libraries. Up to 13 tracks can be displayed at the same time. Playlist Bank stores four playlists for quick access, while Touch Preview lets you preview tracks without loading them onto a deck. Touch Cue additionally lets you preview later passages of a track that is already playing. The simultaneous display of waveforms, performance pad settings and effect information makes it easy to keep track while mixing.

StreamingDirectPlay and rekordbox CloudDirectPlay

With StreamingDirectPlay, tracks and playlists from Apple Music, Beatport Streaming, Spotify and TIDAL can be used directly on the XDJ-AZ. Analysis of waveforms, BPM and beatgrids supports precise transitions. No paid rekordbox subscription is required for StreamingDirectPlay, but the corresponding subscriptions to the respective music services are needed. Availability of individual services may vary by region.

The XDJ-AZ also supports rekordbox CloudDirectPlay, providing direct access to a cloud-based rekordbox music library. Playlists and performance data such as hot cues can be accessed and updated directly on the unit – even without a direct connection to your own computer. Using CloudDirectPlay requires a rekordbox Creative or Professional subscription or the Cloud Option.

Flexible Integration: rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro and PRO DJ LINK

In addition to USB storage media, the XDJ-AZ supports playback via rekordbox Link Export from compatible computers and mobile devices. The integrated Wi-Fi enables wireless access to prepared music libraries. Via USB-C, the system can also be used with rekordbox for Mac and Windows or Serato DJ Pro. Both programs can be used with the connected unit without an additional paid software subscription. Thanks to PRO DJ LINK, compatible CDJ multiplayers can be integrated into the setup to share key information such as beat sync and on-air status.

SonicLink – Low-Latency Wireless Monitoring

For wireless monitoring, the XDJ-AZ features an integrated SonicLink transmitter. In combination with compatible headphones such as the AlphaTheta HDJ-F10, this technology enables audio transmission with particularly low latency. DJs can move freely around the DJ booth without relying on a wired headphone connection. Conventional headphones can still be used via the two integrated jack outputs.

Audio Quality and Creative Effects

A high-quality 32-bit D/A converter from ESS Technology ensures clear and dynamic playback. The integrated 3-band master equaliser lets you adapt the overall sound to different PA systems and room conditions. The revised microphone section delivers clean voice transmission even at higher input levels.

For creative performances, 6 Sound Color FX and 14 Beat FX are available. The illuminated performance pads trigger hot cues, beat loops, slip loops and beat jumps directly. With Gate Cue, tracks play from the respective cue point only while a pad is held down, opening up additional rhythmic possibilities.

Connections and Transport

Two USB-A ports make DJ changeovers easier, while the USB-C port connects to a computer. Two switchable line/phono inputs, two microphone inputs and professional master and booth outputs provide flexible connectivity. The robust housing with integrated carrying handles makes transport and setup easier.
