- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Professional DJs in search of a next-generation DJ mixer with advanced processing and effects should check out the Pioneer DJ DJM-A9, a professional DJ mixer that builds upon the success of the DJM900NXS2 and is well suited for professional mobile DJs, nightclub installations, recording studios, and more. The A9 includes an updated audio engine with ESS Technology, 32-bit high-quality AD/DA converters to disperse clear and natural sound in the booth and on the dance floor. The mixer's familiar 4-channel layout and an integrated USB sound card supports up to 4 stereo channels, while the digital throughput also delivers a wide variety of DSP effects.
The mixer features Pioneer's Sound Color, Beat, and Frequency effects, and its horizontal X-Pad touchpad lets DJs manipulate and apply effects in real time. There are four inputs for turntables and four line-level inputs for digital decks. Additional features include: Pro DJ Link, four S/PDIF digital input connections, and one S/PDIF digital output connection. Connect two computers via the two top-mounted USB connections (USB-B and USB-C). Additionally, a Bluetooth input is available on every channel, allowing you to stream tracks from your favorite portable device while using all the mixer's features and effects. The Multi I/O section has an independent channel selector to allow the use of external effects separately from Beat FX, giving the DJM-A9 true send capabilities.
- Mobius: changes the frequency of the oscillator to constantly rise or fall in time with the beat
- Triplet Filter: changes the cut-off frequency cyclically for the filter according to the beat (based on 3 beats)
- Triplet Roll: outputs the recorded sound repeatedly according to the specified beat fraction (based on 3 beats)
- Echo: outputs a delayed sound several times while attenuating it to add an echo effect
- Pitch: changes the pitch of the microphone sound
- Megaphone: changes the microphone sound, so it sounds like you’re talking through a megaphone
It’s quick and easy to turn the mic input on or off with the brand-new Push To Talk button when you want to grab the mic and address the audience. The audio from the mic can be excluded from the recording output if you want, so you can MC for the live crowd but record your mix without vocals.
