Introduction:
Fun, easy and ergonomic mixing/scratching dual tactile unit
DJs can now instantly locate, play, mix, sample, loop, scratch and
remix digital music – including MP3s, WMAs and CDs – with Hercules’
DJ Console and their desktop or laptop PC. Users will enjoy full
hands-on control like a regular turntable with the smallest of
learning curves, instead of using tedious keyboard shortcuts to
control their major audio applications. DJ Console is also perfectly
suited for use under low light conditions at parties thanks to
at-a-glance LED mode indicators plus backlit and phosphorescent soft
rubber keys.
Main Features:
• 2 vinyl-style jog wheels for spinning and scratching, with finger
grips for rapid, accurate song searching or speed adjustment
• 1 cross fader for seamless mixing between the two decks
• 6 ergonomic potentiometers and bass/medium/treble controls for
creative remixing on the fly
• 2 rotary encoders and 2 sliders for tweaking volume or changing
the speed of music (pitch/master tempo) in real time
• 28 buttons to play/pause songs, speed music up or down for
accurate mixing (pitch bend), add effects, cue points (song
positions) and loops on the fly, skip through tracks backwards or
forwards, rewind or fast forward and more
• A soft rubber mini stick provides mouse emulation or allows for
special DJ FX control
Additional Information:
DJ Console comes with a complete, intuitive DJ/music software suite.
Hercules’ advanced communication protocol guarantees 100%
compatibility with the MP3 DJ software suite fine-tuned specifically
for use with the DJ Console.
External multi channel USB sound card
Thanks to its high-end converters, DJ Console records audio from
instruments, home stereos, CD/DVD players or other devices and plays
back music with the highest audio quality. The comprehensive front
and rear audio panels provide an incredible range of high-end
connections including optical and coaxial digital In/Out and MIDI
In/Out to easily connect most analogue /digital consumer devices and
audio/MIDI gear! Users can remix out to amplified speakers and enjoy
up to 5.1-channel surround sound (up to 6 outputs).
DJs will appreciate being able to play one track for their audience
via the DJ Console’s speaker outputs, while listening to another
track over the headphone output at the same time to prepare the
following mix. To speak to the audience, DJs can use unit’s
microphone input with gain control. A handy talk over button allows
users to reduce the music volume so that they can be heard more
easily, and an input clipping indicator avoids sound saturation.
Stylish, 100% USB bus-powered, hot-plug & play portable unit
Incredibly user friendly, DJ Console is easy to install and use:
simply hot-plug the unit via its USB connector and go! DJ Console is
100% USB bus-powered, with no external power supply required.
Featuring excellent compatibility, DJ Console works with any PC with
a USB port. If the computer has another sound card, there is no need
to uninstall it before using the DJ Console.
Perfect for mobile use, DJ Console is robust, light and compact and
can be used anywhere with a laptop computer. Its robust casing and
sleek detachable cover provide maximum protection, while the
removable shoulder strap allows for easy transportation.
Review of Hercules
DJ Console
by Sydney Music Events 1st July 2004
We at Sydney Music
Events have been using the Hercules DJ Console and found it
extremely easy to use. It is a self powered console and connection
to our computer is USB 1.1. The sound quality is so much better than
the original sound card in the laptop. It sounds crisp, bass is fuller
and all round very clear.
We use it with a
program called Otsdj. It has added the accuracy that we could not
get by a mouse. The beat mixing takes a little getting used to but
once you master it is so much better than trying to mix from
clicking a mouse and trying to hold down a button at the same time.
The
software that comes with the Hercules DJ Console is a steal. It also
offers discount on the program we use at Sydney Music Events called
Otsdj. At $499 it is a great
mixer and sound card. We use it at every
function. |
