Large touchscreen for seamless control, from selecting tracks to performing
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.
Standalone 4-deck playback: DJ your way
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.
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 Alpha Theta’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.
