Overview
Learning to beatmatch is the focus of the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500, a two-deck controller for Serato and DJUCED with light guides, jog wheels with a ring and RGB rubber pads. A metal backing plate and retractable feet add stability.
Guides that show how to stay on beat, a built-in sound card and a metal plate on the mixer are the selling points for newcomers. The listing leaves out which Serato edition is supported and gives no output list.
Who it's for
Beginners and bedroom DJs moving toward live sets who want pads, jog wheels and light guides in one unit. Experienced performers who need more channels or detailed output specs should look at a larger controller.
