Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500
The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 DJ Controller is the latest addition from Hercules' hugely popular DJControl Inpulse series. The Inpulse 500 is a 2-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ and DJUCED. It is designed to be the ultimate entry into DJing, refining your skills and playing out!
DJControl Inpulse 500 has all the features, modes and connectors you need to get into the mixing experience instantly. High definition resolution on the large jog wheels, with easy-to-use ring. The controller's audio interface delivers cutting-edge "velvet sound" digital signal processing technology.
The controller is solidly built, with a sturdy metal backing plate on the mixer, rubber RGB pads, non-slip retractable feet, and more. Mixing is easy, thanks to the controller's helpful beatmatch light guides, to stay on track when mixing at the party. Perform smooth, original transitions thanks to the excellent Filter/FX area which controls the effects available in Serato DJ and DJUCED. There's even an aux filter knob to add a filter effect onto an external audio source (smartphone)!
The Inpulse 500 controls are evenly spaced out making it easy-to-use, and features handy retractable feet raising the controller so you can mix easier, run wires underneath, and protect the controller from spilled drinks. The base is also backlit when the feet are extended.
