Is the XDJ-AZ worth it over the XDJ-XZ?

It adds a much larger touchscreen, standalone Serato support and Wi-Fi streaming. If you mainly play rekordbox from USB and don't need those, the older XZ still covers the basics.

Can I use it without a laptop?

Yes. It plays rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro libraries from USB drives and can pull tracks from cloud and streaming sources over Wi-Fi.

How does it compare with the Opus-Quad?

The XDJ-AZ has four channels, full-size jogs and a club-style layout. The Opus-Quad is more compact and aimed at home and streaming setups.

Does it work with Serato DJ Pro?

Yes, Serato DJ Pro runs standalone on the unit, and it also works as a controller with a computer.

How many channels and inputs does it have?

Four channels, with line and phono inputs for turntables and CDJs, plus microphone inputs.

Is it easy to carry to gigs?

No. It is a large, heavy unit, so plan a case with wheels or a two-person lift.

Our take on the Pioneer DJ XDJ-AZ

The XDJ-AZ is AlphaTheta's four-channel all-in-one DJ system, the successor to the XDJ-XZ. It adds a full-size 10.1-inch touchscreen, standalone playback of rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro libraries from USB, and built-in Wi-Fi for cloud and streaming sources. It sits above the Opus-Quad and below a CDJ/DJM separates rig, and it suits DJs who want club-style layout without a laptop. Owners praise the screen, the jog wheels and the onboard effects; the main complaints are its size and weight and the learning curve for the deeper menus.
