AlphaTheta CDJ-1500X DJ Multi Player

The CDJ-1500X offers everything that makes DJ players popular with bars and other venues. It gives you the flexibility of using separate players, and you can combine it with different gear, including turntables and your favorite mixer, to create your perfect setup. It also packs in a host of pro-level features and inherits the high quality and usability of the flagship CDJ-3000X.

Short on room? Need to take your gear on the road? Thanks to its space-saving design, the CDJ-1500X fits into smaller DJ booths and a wide range of setups. It comes with all the practical benefits of using separate players too, such as easy maintenance and replacement. Built-in Wi-Fi opens the door for you to access your cloud-based music library via rekordbox CloudDirectPlay, so you can go beyond USB drives and always DJ with your latest collection. And this is the first player to be compatible with CoBeat, an exciting new service offering a fresh optional way to interact with the crowd and receive song requests directly on the screen of the CDJ.

Compact design fits in smaller DJ booths

Designed with compact DJ booths in mind, the CDJ-1500X is ideal for bars, small clubs, and home setups. While it includes many key features of the flagship CDJ-3000X, the new multi player has a significantly smaller footprint. This makes it easy to fit the multi player into tighter spaces and combine it with turntables and other gear to create a custom setup.

The CDJ-1500X includes the 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen from the flagship CDJ-3000X, enabling smooth track selection and intuitive performances.

The browse screen displays up to 15 tracks at once so you can view more music in a single list and quickly find your next track. And waveform previews help you understand the music’s structure at a glance, so, you can easily choose tracks that match the flow of your set. 

The main waveform display now includes visual indicators for vocal positions, BPM change points, and phrase structures. This helps you easily understand each song’s progression and feel more confident when making decisions about mixing during your performances.

Using Playlist Edit, you can rearrange tracks within playlists directly on the CDJ – there’s no need to switch back to your laptop/mobile device, or re-export tracks to your USB drive.

With a choice of dark and light display modes, the information on the screen stays highly visible no matter where you’re playing – from low-lit DJ booths in clubs to bright rooms or even daytime outdoor events.

Cloud connectivity and NFC login

Access your cloud-based rekordbox library and millions of tracks from streaming services, directly from the CDJ-1500X. With built-in Wi-Fi, you can play your tracks via rekordbox CloudDirectPlay, as well as songs from platforms such as Apple Music, Beatport Streaming, and Tidal using the StreamingDirectPlay function.

You can instantly access your personal settings and playlists via NFC touch login by tapping your mobile device – with rekordbox for iOS/Android installed – on the CDJ. This, together with cloud connectivity, means you can arrive at a gig with just your smartphone and start performing immediately from your own music library.

Customizable design that blends into any space

With its minimalistic user interface and matte black finish, the CDJ-1500X blends seamlessly into any setup or space. In the front panel, an illuminated bay with 2 USB ports (1 x Type-C, 1 x Type-A), makes it easy to connect USB drives and keeps them neatly stowed away so they can’t be accidentally knocked out of place while you’re performing or if the booth is crowded. You can choose from 12 colors for the LED lighting to match the mood of your gig. And, thanks to the screw holes on the sides of the multi player, you can add optional panels to customize the look of your CDJs with different colors and materials.
