AlphaTheta CDJ-1500X Professional Media Player

Meet the CDJ-1500X, AlphaTheta's DJ multi player that's perfect for a wide range of environments, from bars and small clubs to anywhere you need flexibility, professional features, and space-saving design.

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, a service offering an 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 multi player has a significantly smaller footprint.

10.1-Inch Touchscreen and Enhanced Track Visualization

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.

Waveform previews help you understand the music's structure at a glance, making it easier to 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 better understand each song's progression and feel more confident when mixing.

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

With a choice of dark and light display modes, screen information remains highly visible in any environment -- from low-lit DJ booths in clubs to bright rooms or 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. Combined with cloud connectivity, this means you can arrive at a gig with just your smartphone and start performing immediately from your own music library.

CoBeat Service Enhances Crowd Interaction

Want to interact more with your crowd and bring the dancefloor together? The CDJ-1500X is the first AlphaTheta multi player compatible with the CoBeat service, which helps your audience feel more involved in your performance.

By scanning a QR code (created by you or the venue in advance), CoBeat allows the audience to browse a catalog of tracks you've already selected. They can vote for tracks or send requests for other songs. All this information is gathered on the CDJ-1500X, where requests are displayed on the browse screen, ready to drop into your set and create a shared experience.

Guests can also add emojis to each other's requests to share the energy of the dancefloor in real time. These reactions appear as pop-ups on your smartphone screen, helping you sense the crowd's response while performing.

You can turn CoBeat on whenever you want to receive requests and turn it off if you prefer to focus on your mix.

Please note: The launch of CoBeat and the rekordbox for Mac/Windows update introducing CoBeat support are scheduled for July 9, 2026.

Customizable Design That Blends Into Any Space

With its minimalistic interface and matte black finish, the CDJ-1500X blends seamlessly into any setup or environment.

On the front panel, an illuminated bay with two USB ports (1 x Type-C, 1 x Type-A) makes it easy to connect USB drives and keeps them securely in place so they won't be accidentally knocked out during a performance or in a crowded booth.

You can choose from 12 LED lighting colors to match the mood of your set. Additionally, screw holes on the sides allow you to attach optional panels, letting you customize the look of your CDJs with different colors and materials.
