Here’s the press release

September 9th, 2025: Meet the CDJ-3000X, the next-generation flagship professional DJ player from AlphaTheta.

While inheriting the legacy of the globally acclaimed CDJ-3000, this new player pushes boundaries even further. The CDJ-3000X offers speedy access to online music, and the “X” in its name embodies multiple meanings: transformation in the evolution of media, expanded connectivity with various devices and platforms, and extraordinary reliability and sound quality that surpasses the CDJ-3000. 

The CDJ-3000X brings enhanced connectivity through its access to cloud storage and music streaming services, offering flexibility that meets the diverse needs of today’s DJs. With built-in Wi-Fi®, you can connect to the internet without a LAN cable, streamlining setup in any environment. The front panel also features an NFC touchpoint, allowing instant access to online media simply by holding your smartphone over the reader.

Major advancements in core performance aspects – usability, playability, and sound quality – have also been made in the design of the CDJ-3000X. Enjoy smoother, more intuitive browsing on the new 10.1-inch high-resolution capacitive touchscreen, which offers better visibility and usability, and control the jog wheel more precisely, thanks to its wider range of tension adjustment. You can count on the rebuilt play and cue buttons to bring extra durability for years to come and, with a new high-performance DAC and redeveloped power supply, you can enjoy powerful and high-resolution sound that balances punch with clarity.

Born from Pioneer Corporation, AlphaTheta is the team behind Pioneer DJ – a brand that’s been central to DJ culture for over 30 years. Today, AlphaTheta continues the legacy, fueled by the same people, passion, and commitment to innovation, engineering excellence, and the power music has to connect and unite people everywhere. AlphaTheta is home to a growing ecosystem of products that support creativity and self-expression. The CDJ-3000X sits under the AlphaTheta brand to reflect this expanded mission: to engage music lovers and creators with intuitive inspiring tools that make DJing more creative than ever.
