Lightweight and compact The AlphaTheta DDJ-FLX2 is AlphaTheta’s lightest and most compact DJ controller. Its dimensions of 383.2 × 208 × 48.2 mm make it easy to accommodate on a desk, table or portable setup. At only 1.2 kg, it can be carried easily between home, college, a friend’s house or another practice location. Its compact size also makes it suitable for users who do not have space for a larger DJ controller. USB bus powered operation The DDJ-FLX2 is powered through its USB Type-C connection, so no separate mains power supply is required when it is connected by USB to a compatible PC, Mac or mobile device. Some Android devices may require a different connection arrangement. When using a mobile device that does not have USB Type-C, the controller can be connected using Bluetooth MIDI and powered separately from a USB Type-C adapter or mobile battery. Bluetooth MIDI connectivity The controller supports Bluetooth Low Energy for wireless MIDI control with compatible smartphones and tablets. Bluetooth on the DDJ-FLX2 is used for MIDI control rather than wireless audio output. When using Bluetooth MIDI, the controller still requires power through its USB Type-C port. Audio playback will depend on the connected device and your chosen setup. The stated maximum Bluetooth transmission distance is approximately 10 metres in unobstructed conditions. Connect headphones and speakers The rear of the DDJ-FLX2 includes a 3.5 mm stereo master output for connecting compatible powered speakers or another suitable audio system. A separate 3.5 mm stereo headphones output allows you to monitor and prepare the next track before introducing it into your mix. The controller does not include a microphone input. DJs who require a dedicated microphone connection should consider a controller or mixer with a suitable microphone input.
