Craft your own sound with the DJM‐V5, a next‐generation 3‐channel DJ mixer from AlphaTheta built for modern booths, studios, and creative setups where space is tight but expectations are high. Drawing from the design philosophy of the DJM‐V10, DJM‐V5 delivers a compact layout with pro‐level control, refined sound, and performance tools designed for expressive mixing.

Built on the acclaimed high‐resolution, warm sonic character of the DJM‐V10, the DJM‐V5 keeps mixes balanced and clear—even when layering multiple sources. From clean blends to more aggressive transitions, it avoids harsh saturation while maintaining depth and musicality, making it a strong choice for DJs who want precision without losing vibe.

Expand your performance with six types of Send FX, including Short Delay, Reverb, Shimmer, Tape Echo, PingPong, and Echo‐Verb. Add width, movement, and texture with effects that are designed to feel musical and immediate. When connected to compatible players via PRO DJ LINK, effects can be applied with accurate timing based on shared BPM information.

DJM‐V5 is the first mixer to feature a built‐in SonicLink transmitter, enabling ultra‐low‐latency wireless monitoring with compatible headphones such as the HDJ‐F10. This creates a cleaner booth experience with fewer cables, while keeping monitoring tight and responsive for confident mixing.

Connectivity is built for flexible modern workflows. Use the rear USB Type‐C connection to integrate with rekordbox for Mac/Windows or Serato DJ Pro and unlock advanced performance features including DVS. Combined with the compact 3‐channel format, DJM‐V5 is ready to anchor a wide variety of setups, from minimalist rigs to more complex performance systems.
