AlphaTheta CDJ-1500X Professional DJ Multi Player
The AlphaTheta CDJ-1500X is a compact professional DJ multi player designed for DJs, venues and home users who want the flexibility of separate media players with a smaller footprint.
Ideal for bars, small clubs, home DJ setups, mobile rigs, practice spaces and compact DJ booths, the CDJ-1500X brings many key features from AlphaTheta’s flagship player range into a more space-saving format. It is built for DJs who want professional workflow, cloud-connected music access and reliable performance without needing the size of a full flagship booth setup.
At the centre of the CDJ-1500X is a large 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, inherited from the flagship CDJ-3000X. This gives DJs smooth browsing, clear waveform views and enhanced track information, helping you make better mixing decisions while performing.
With built-in Wi-Fi, rekordbox CloudDirectPlay, StreamingDirectPlay, NFC login and CoBeat crowd interaction, the CDJ-1500X is designed for modern DJ workflows. You can perform from USB, access cloud-based rekordbox libraries, use compatible streaming services and interact with the crowd through song requests using the CoBeat service.
The compact body makes it easy to fit into smaller booths, combine with turntables, use with different mixers and build custom DJ setups. For venues, the separate-player format also means easier maintenance compared with all-in-one systems, as one player can be serviced or replaced without affecting the rest of the setup.
Compact Design for Smaller DJ Booths
The CDJ-1500X is designed with compact DJ booths in mind. Its reduced footprint makes it suitable for bars, small clubs, home studios, mobile DJs and venues where space is limited.
It can be used alongside turntables, DJ mixers and other gear to create a flexible custom setup while still offering professional media player performance.
10.1-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen
The CDJ-1500X includes a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, giving you clear and responsive control over browsing, waveforms and performance information.
The browse screen can display up to 15 tracks at once, making it easier to find your next track quickly during a set.
Enhanced Track Visualisation
The enhanced waveform display helps DJs understand track structure at a glance. Visual indicators can show vocal positions, BPM change points and phrase structures, helping you make more confident mixing decisions.
Dark and light display modes are also available, helping keep the screen visible in different environments, from low-lit club booths to bright daytime events.
Built-In Wi-Fi and Cloud Connectivity
With built-in Wi-Fi, the CDJ-1500X supports rekordbox CloudDirectPlay, allowing DJs to access compatible cloud-based rekordbox libraries directly from the player.
A compatible rekordbox subscription plan may be required for cloud features.
StreamingDirectPlay Support
The CDJ-1500X supports StreamingDirectPlay with compatible services including:
- Apple Music
- Beatport Streaming
- TIDAL
A subscription is required to use music streaming services, and service availability may vary by country, region and account type.
NFC Login via rekordbox for iOS/Android
NFC touch login allows DJs to access personal settings and playlists by tapping a compatible mobile device with rekordbox for iOS/Android installed onto the player.
This makes it easier to access your prepared music library and settings quickly when arriving at a venue or shared DJ setup.
CoBeat Crowd Request Service
The CDJ-1500X is compatible with CoBeat, a crowd interaction service that lets audience members scan a QR code, browse a prepared catalogue, vote for tracks or send song requests and messages.
Requests can be gathered on the CDJ-1500X screen, giving DJs a new way to interact with the crowd while still staying in control of the set.
Customisable Look
The CDJ-1500X features a front illuminated USB bay with 2 USB ports, making it easy to connect USB drives while helping keep them tucked away and less likely to be knocked during performance.
You can choose from 12 LED lighting colours, and optional side panels can be added to customise the look of your players.
