AlphaTheta has announced a new 3-channel DJ mixer that aims to bring refined sound crafting and wireless monitoring in a compact unit.
This new mixer draws on the design philosophy of the DJM-V10, the 6-channel professional DJ mixer used at festivals and clubs around the world, which is renowned for its outstanding sound quality and precise mixing performance, making it a favorite among DJs.
The DJM-V5 takes the essence of the DJM-V10 and condenses it into a more compact 3-channel unit. While it’s physically smaller, it offers massive potential for uncompromising creative mixing, even in DJ booths with limited space. You can use a more advanced range of effects, including upgraded filters and Send FX, to express yourself when you play with the DJM-V5 – no matter what the setting. And the built-in SonicLink transmitter, which uses AlphaTheta’s unique ultra-low-latency wireless technology, enables you to perform with greater freedom. Simply pair it with HDJ-F10 headphones and you can monitor your music wirelessly with minimal latency, giving you new possibilities to enjoy a seamless and flexible mixing environment.
With its streamlined layout and refined feature set, consolidated into a compact unit, the DJM-V5 brings precise sound control and creative performance capabilities wherever you choose to play.
DJM-V5 features
- Compact design: The DJM-V5 inherits the layout, tactile feel, and many features of the DJM-V10 – including the 4-band EQ, compressor, filter, and Send FX – but has a 30% smaller footprint. It also includes the 60-mm long- throw channel faders from the DJM- V10-LF for precise level control.
- High-resolution sound: The mixer delivers well-balanced mixing that avoids sonic saturation – even when you layer multiple audio sources. It features studio- grade 96 kHz / 64-bit mixing DSP processing, with high-quality 32-bit A/D and D/A converters from ESS Technology built into the channel input and master output sections.
- Send FX: Add texture to your music with 6 expressive effects: Short Delay, Reverb, Shimmer, Tape Echo, PingPong, and Echo-Verb. Each channel features a dedicated send knob so you can intuitively adjust the amount of effect applied to individual tracks.
- 3 filter types: Each channel features a dedicated filter knob with 3 selectable modes: low-pass, high-pass, and cross- pass. The knob’s left-to-right sweep structure gives you both subtle and dynamic control.
- Built-in SonicLink transmitter: Pair the mixer with the HDJ-F10 headphones at the press of a button. For headphone models scheduled for release in 2026, pairing will be possible by touching the headphone area on the front panel of the DJM-V5.
- Extensive compatibility: Connect the rear USB Type-C terminal to a PC/Mac running rekordbox or Serato DJ Pro*1. The MULTI I/O also features a top-panel USB Type-C port to connect an iPhone or iPad*2 to use DJM-REC or connect the RMX-IGNITE. The unit also supports insert connections with an external effector via USB send/return.
The DJM-V5 is out now with an SRP of €1,999 EUR (incl. VAT) / $1,999 USD (excl. tax) / $2,199 USD (only in the US, excl. sales tax).
