DJ 15 RED

MADE TO CREATE

The XMG DJ 15 is a machine designed, optimized and tested specifically for digital DJing. 10th-generation intel processors offer more than enough power to run your favourite DJ software with all its features. It comes with three USB ports (2x USB 3.2 and 1x USB 2.0 for backwards compatibility with older peripherals) plus a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 combo port, an RJ45 Ethernet port and an SD card reader, as well as full-size HDMI and a Mini DisplayPort. The machine is available in two colours: classic silver or an eye-catching red? The choice is yours.

Unfortunately, both the XMG DJ 15 and the XMG PRO 15 Audio are currently out of stock. Normally, there would be no need for any placeholder text like this one, as we would have successors ready for release – however, this time it’s not entirely up to us.

The introduction of Modern Standby and related changes to power management architecture on laptops are making it impossible for us – and as a matter of fact, for every other manufacturer – to release a laptop and genuinely call it “audio-optimized” at this point. This is in no way related to Windows 11 itself, which the new machines will be running – it’s due to changes on hardware level that need to be adapted to step by step.

If everything works out as expected, XMG might become the world’s first manufacturer to fine-tune Modern Standby machines for pro audio purposes – however, this is still very much a work in progress, so: no promises. We appreciate your interest and ask for a bit more patience as we figure this out. Stay tuned!

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

The DJ 15 has a thin chassis made of aluminium with a resin mold on the bottom, keeping the weight at just 1.6 kg. Together with the lightweight power adapter, it will easily fit into any DJ backpack. The machine features a non-glare 15” Full HD IPS display and has enough battery life to keep you company for hours as you compile playlists on the way to a gig… or watch your favourite series.

MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR YOUR SETUP

Sometimes one more USB port makes all the difference in the world. Other times you just need to copy over some tracks from an SD card, or use an Ethernet port to sync up with another DJ using Ableton Link – or connect a projector via HDMI when hosting a workshop. This is where the XMG DJ 15 shines: you can do all these things without using a single adapter. Of course, it has regular 3.5mm ports as well, letting you work with your DJ headphones on the go.

FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE OUT OF THE BOX

We like our drops without dropouts, so we’ve picked components that won’t cause high DPC latency in the first place. Forget about having to turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to keep things running stable either! It’s all in the hardware – combined with our sleek, completely bloatware-free Windows 10 Pro install with a few essential tweaks baked right in, you won’t have to waste precious time optimizing the system. Just install your DJ software of choice, migrate your library and you’re ready to go.

MADE TO CREATE

The “Made to Create” label means that we’ve thoroughly tested the machine according to the way you’re going to want to use it – in this case, with various DJ controllers and mixers, running most commonly used DJ software: Serato, Traktor, Rekordbox and Virtual DJ are right at home here. You can also easily work on simple DAW projects, like your own edits and mashups in Ableton Live.

BY DJS FOR DJS

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could ask an actual DJ about DJ-specific things? We think so, too. Luckily, our lead tester and support guy is one of the nerdiest, techiest DJ-producer-VJ hybrids on the planet, and he loves to help people figure stuff out. Just shoot an e-mail to [email protected] and you will be taken care of.
