AlphaTheta announced the CDJ-1500X today, its first budget-minded, heavily featured media player since the XDJ-1000MK2 launched back in September 2016(!!). At $1,699 retail, it undercuts the CDJ-3000X flagship by roughly $1,300, and it carries over most of the CDJ-3000X’s screen and cloud features, in a design built for 2026 rather than a decade-old body style.
It also ships alongside CoBeat, a new AlphaTheta service that puts crowd song requests directly on the CDJ’s screen. The CDJ-1500X is the first player to support it.
