Detailed sound shaping and ideal use
Built for home studios, events, and venue booths with limited space, the DJM-V5 offers hands-on control without sacrificing creative options. Studio-grade 96 kHz / 64-bit mixing DSP processing and high-quality 32-bit A/D and D/A converters help keep mixes clear and balanced, even when layering sources. Each channel has a dedicated filter knob with 3 selectable modes and per-channel Send FX control, so you can add movement, space, and texture without breaking your workflow.
Why choose the DJM-V5 over other compact mixers
Many compact mixers compromise on sound processing, routing, or performance controls. The DJM-V5 stands out by carrying a DJM-V10-inspired feel into a smaller footprint while keeping advanced shaping tools like 4-band EQ, channel compression, dedicated filters, and 6 Send FX. The built-in SonicLink transmitter is a major differentiator for modern booths, enabling low-latency wireless monitoring with compatible headphones. Add PRO DJ LINK support and versatile USB Type-C connectivity, and it fits both player-based and laptop-based setups.

Quick start guide
Place the mixer on a stable surface and connect power, then wire your sources to the LINE or PHONO inputs and connect your speakers to the balanced MASTER output and/or BOOTH output. Set channel TRIM levels, use the channel faders as needed, and shape each track with the 4-band EQ and compressor. Select a filter type per channel and sweep for subtle or dramatic transitions. Choose a Send FX type and turn each channel’s send knob to taste, then monitor via headphones or SonicLink with compatible models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DJM-V5 mainly a club mixer, or is it better for home studios and smaller events?
The DJM-V5 is ideal for home studios, mobile rigs, and venues where booth space is limited, while still offering a professional feel and robust connectivity for booth use. If your workflow demands more channels and a larger, flagship-style club layout, a bigger mixer may be a better fit.
Is this mixer more of a performance mixer or a sound-shaping mixer?
It’s primarily a sound-shaping mixer, with 4-band EQ, channel compression, selectable filter types, and Send FX designed for detailed tone control and smooth, musical transitions. It supports expressive FX work in performance, but its core strength is sculpting and refining the mix.
Who is the DJM-V5 not for, and when is a 4-channel mixer or battle mixer the better choice?
If you need four simultaneous decks/external sources and more channels for complex setups, a 4-channel mixer is the more practical option. If your focus is scratch, turntablism, and a crossfader-centric layout with battle-oriented controls, a dedicated battle mixer will suit you better.
Can I use the DJM-V5 with rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro?
Yes, it has USB Type-C connectivity for use with rekordbox for Mac/Windows and Serato DJ Pro (a separate license is required for Serato DJ Pro).
What is SonicLink on the DJM-V5?
SonicLink is AlphaTheta’s ultra-low-latency wireless monitoring system built into the mixer for use with compatible headphones, enabling a cleaner, cable-free booth setup.
Does it support PRO DJ LINK features?
Yes, PRO DJ LINK support enables compatible player integration, including BPM-synced performance support and Link Cue workflow features.
