The AlphaTheta Corporation has announced the first two products under its newly announced AlphaTheta brand: The Omnis Duo, which is a portable all-in-one DJ controller, and the Wave Eight, a portable DJ speaker. Read on for more info and links to our reviews of the new gear…
Omnis Duo all-in-one DJ controller
The AlphaTheta Omnis Duo (styled “OMNIS-DUO”) is a small, standalone DJ system with a built-in screen and battery. It works with Rekordbox, and can play music from USB, SD, via Pro DJ Link over WiFi from a laptop or smartphone, or using CloudPlayDirect.
It can also be used as a DJ controller for Rekordbox software on a laptop, plus it has Bluetooth in and out, including an innovative Bluetooth “recording” feature for DJing Bluetooth-streamed tracks as if they were standard music files.

Wave Eight portable DJ speaker
Meanwhile the AlphaTheta Wave Eight (styled “WAVE-EIGHT”) is a portable battery-powered DJ speaker in a trolley design with wheels and a telescopic handle, boasting an innovative low-latency wireless system built-in called “SoundLink”, for wire-free DJing.
It includes an integrated, detachable battery transmitter that the DJ can plug into any DJ controller in order to connect wirelessly to the speaker, with much better transmission times than possible using Bluetooth (which it also has). Multiple speakers can be paired wirelessly for a bigger set-up.
