AlphaTheta presents the CDJ-3000X
From USB to the cloud: a flagship player built for modern workflows
AlphaTheta has introduced the CDJ-3000X, the latest evolution of its industry-standard DJ player. Taking the foundation of the CDJ-3000, the new model delivers tougher hardware, expanded connectivity and improved sound design — a response to how DJs move between USBs, streaming platforms and cloud libraries in 2025.
The most visible update is the 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen (up from 9 inches), with higher resolution and space to browse up to 16 tracks at once. Navigation is faster and more flexible: DJs can now copy and paste text in the search bar, reorder playlists directly on the unit and build a Global Tag List that merges music from USB, streaming and the cloud.
Physical design has been reinforced. The Play and Cue buttons are rebuilt to endure over 500,000 additional presses, while the jog wheel offers a wider tension range — from tight scratching to smoother control in long sets. A built-in cache ensures tracks keep playing even if USBs are pulled or internet drops mid-performance.
Under the hood, a new ESS Technology DAC and redesigned power supply push sound quality further, reducing distortion and enhancing low-end response. The system was tuned with pro engineers to ensure consistent output, whether in intimate clubs or at large-scale festivals.
Connectivity is another step forward: with Wi-Fi, USB-C and NFC rekordbox login, DJs can access their libraries instantly, whether stored locally or in the cloud. It’s the first CDJ to allow direct playlist editing and real-time cloud sync, bringing laptop-free performance closer to reality.
The CDJ-3000X is priced at €2,799 (incl. VAT) / £2,399 (incl. VAT) / $2,999 (excl. tax).
