About this item
Building upon the success of its predecessor, the AlphaTheta CDJ-3000X is the next-generation, flagship professional DJ player that pushes boundaries by offering speedy access to online music, expanded connectivity to various devices and platforms, and extraordinary reliability and sound quality. Through its access to cloud storage and music streaming services, the CDJ-3000X brings enhanced connectivity, offering flexibility that meets the diverse needs of today’s DJs.
Expanded Media Support for Diverse DJ Syles
Explore new creative possibilities with the groundbreaking advancements in online and storage media support offered by the CDJ-3000X, which enables DJ performances to be more flexible than ever. The player fully supports playback from cloud storage and music streaming services, enhancing every stage of your workflow—from track preparation to playing live.
Built-in Wi-Fi enables wireless internet access without the need for LAN cables, helping you set up quickly and smoothly in any environment. On the front panel, an NFC touchpoint allows you to instantly access online music by simply holding your smartphone—running the latest version of rekordbox for iOS/Android—over the reader.
With just a CDJ-3000X and your phone, you can access your music library from anywhere in the world and start your set right away.
The player is also equipped with a USB-C port for connecting to a USB storage device or Windows/Mac computer—enabling faster, seamless integration with the latest devices and computers.
Enhanced Browsing Experience: Go Beyond the Next Track
Browse, select, and manage your tracks more intuitively on the CDJ-3000X. The 10.1" high-resolution, capacitive touchscreen now displays up to 16 tracks in the browse screen. With better visibility and smooth control, you can find and play tracks quicker. For rapid searching, you can now copy track information and paste it straight into the search bar. And for the first time on a CDJ, you can edit playlists by reordering the tracks directly from the unit. Even better, if you’re using Cloud Library Sync, the changes you make will automatically be synced across all your devices.
Manage tracks from various media sources, all in one playlist, with Global Tag List. You can tag tracks from multiple USB drives, cloud storage locations, and streaming services, so they all appear in a single list. Those from online sources will start downloading as soon as you tag them, minimizing load times to help make your performances smoother. Plus, the time it takes for track information to display when you’re using rekordbox CloudDirectPlay has been significantly reduced. Even when you’re browsing music stored online, it feels just as smooth as with USB drives.
Enhanced Hot Cue Features for Quicker Preparation and More Creativity
Dive into a new Hot Cue workflow that can help you analyze the structure of tracks in real time and perform more spontaneously.
The CDJ-3000X includes the popular Touch Cue feature—which lets you listen to any point in a track through your headphones by pressing on the waveform—and introduces the option to set Hot Cues from the point you’re monitoring. For smoother cueing, turn on Smart Cue and the position and color of a called-up Hot Cue will automatically overwrite the current cue point.
Gate Cue is available too, where sound plays only while you hold down a Hot Cue button, opening up new creative possibilities for tone play and other performance techniques.
To use Smart Cue, you’ll need to enable Overwrite Current Cue with Hot Cue in the utility settings in advance.
Evolved Reliability and Usability: Ready for Any Stage
You can depend on the CDJ-3000X more than any CDJ before—it's built to deliver exceptional reliability, even in the most demanding professional environments. The play and cue buttons have been rebuilt to handle the most energetic use and can withstand over 500,000 presses each—far more than the previous model could take. Whether you want to scratch dynamically, or delicately bend the pitch, you can find your sweet spot and control the music more precisely with the expanded range of jog wheel tension adjustment. And there's no need to worry if you accidentally disconnect your USB drive or if the internet connection is briefly interrupted because, when you load a track, the whole file is cached to the player's memory, so it will play right to the end, no matter what happens.
Refined Sound Performance for Powerful Electronic Music Experiences
Immerse your crowd in detailed, dynamic audio, which faithfully reproduces every nuance of the original track and enhances the energy of dance music. Building on the high-quality sound design and advanced digital audio processing developed for the CDJ-3000, the CDJ-3000X takes sound quality to the next level.
With a new, high-performance digital-to-analog converter made by ESS Technology, the CDJ-3000X achieves a better S/N ratio than the previous model, resulting in clearer and more refined sound reproduction.
A newly designed power supply unit reduces unwanted noise and enhances low-frequency power, delivering punchy bass and a warm tone that won’t tire the ears, even during long sets. The sound tuning of the CDJ-3000X was refined through on-site testing in various club environments and developed with input from professional sound engineers, ensuring exceptional audio performance in any setting, from intimate venues to large-scale outdoor festivals.
