DESCRIPTION
Club-Standard DJ Experience with the Feeling of Complete Control
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.
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.
Clear and Dynamic Audio
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.
3 Band Master EQ
You can also use the 3-Band Master EQ to tweak the output sound according to the acoustic characteristics of the venue.
Mixer Settings
The XDJ-AZ features a dedicated button for the mixer settings, so you can quickly check and adjust the mixer’s status on-screen.
