=========================
The experience of using the XDJ-AZ is truly the closest thing I’ve found to using CDJ-3000s and a Pioneer DJ mixer – all the way down to the FX suite that comes straight out of the DJM-A9. If it had two screens and browse knobs instead of one, I bet you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
This is one of those devices that looks like a value if compared to its individual components, but looks expensive if compared to its competitors. The same could be said of its physical size.
But it mimics the professional club setup so perfectly, at less than half the cost. This makes me think it’s a viable option for smaller bars, clubs, and venues who want a pro-level house setup (and are tired of renting gear).
It’s also great for any DJ who often plays on a rekordbox-powered setup, who wants the “best” club setup duplicated at home - within reason.
With the availability of the XDJ-AZ, it really makes the idea of buying CDJ-3000s and a DJM-AZ for home feel like overkill.
It’s the standalone 4-channel DJ system that they should’ve released from the beginning. The Opus-Quad is nice, but I’m honestly struggling to find reasons to recommend it over the AZ. I can think of plenty of reasons to recommend the reverse.
