Getting Smoggy at the AlphaTheta Booth | NAMM 2026

The CDJ series has been a favorite for DJs basically since it came out. The ability to house your library inside of the turntable makes it easy to grab and go without worrying about external drives or laptops. For NAMM 2026, AlphaTheta brought in the latest generation of their iconic CDJ series: the CDJ-3000X.

While it might look and act like the original, the CDJ-3000X brings upgraded features that modern DJs just can’t live without, like Wi-Fi connectivity, cloud access, streaming, and expanded I/O.

The coolest part of the CDJ-3000X has to be the one-touch sign in. You can sign into all your favorite streaming services, like Amazon Music, Beatport, and TIDAL, on your computer. Then tap your phone to the CDJ-3000X to sign into everything at once via NFC. No need to input passwords on a tiny touchscreen! It’s a gamechanger for pro DJs everywhere.

Once you get all your lovely tunes on the CDJ-3000X, it’s time to do what DJs do best: MIX! And what better tool to do it with than the DJM-V5.

The DJM-V10 is AlphaTheta’s (aka Pioneer DJ) flagship pro DJ controller. It packs all the top features with a ridiculous six-channel setup. But many DJs don’t need or want six channels. And that’s where the DJM-V5 comes in.

With only three channels, the AlphaTheta DJM-V5 is much more manageable for the average DJ, giving you the standard two-channel battle setup with an extra channel to add your drum machine, another turntable, or really whatever you want. But just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it skimps on features. You still get all the flagship-level capabilities of the V10, just in a smaller package.

You have the media coming in from the CDJ-3000X, and it’s mixed to perfection with the DJM-V5. Now it’s time to add the final touch with the RMX-IGNITE.

The RMX-IGNITE is essentially an updated version of the ever-popular RMX-1000 — but with tons of new features: digital send and return (but still has analog options), Pro DJ link for seamless connectivity between your gear, updated sampler section with more pads, overdub, color effects, and more… It just does it all!

 You can even add effects based on frequency either using trigger effects or dialed isolate effects powered by two separate effects engines. If you like DJ effects, the RMX-IGNITE is just the thing for you.
