General

Want to spin tracks like a professional DJ? Or just need something that'll help you hone your basic skills? Hercules offers up the ultimate DJ learning tool in the form of the DJControl Inpulse 500. This two-deck USB DJ controller can be used with Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED DJ software.

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500: A Complete DJ Guru

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 comes loaded with two large and precise jogwheels fitted with user-friendly rings, as well as a set of sixteen RGB back-lit pads. By providing a clear and well lit guidance system that gives excellent visual feedback, this controller is made to make learning to mix as easy as can be. The Filter/FX section is filled with the effect-based toys you can find in Serato DJ Lite and Djuced, and using the AUX FILTER control knob, you can add a filter effect to an external audio source like a smartphone or media player.

Built for Use

The DJControl Inpulse 500 comes encased in a solid housing and fitted with a metal backplate on the control panel. Rubber RGB pads are also included, and anti-slip fold-out feet are fitted to the base, so that the controller can be raised to a height of 8cm from the desktop, or dinner table, or wherever your studying your DJ-ing craft. Folding out the feet also creates a little space beneath the controller so that cables can be neatly run under it and the controller itself is kept safely away from any split drinks. As such, the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 has been considerately built for real-life use.
