The Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 500 is a powerhouse controller designed to bridge the gap between practicing in your bedroom and performing in the booth. Built for Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED, this 2-channel controller offers a suite of professional features wrapped in a layout that feels approachable for beginners yet robust enough for public gigs.
Whether you’re refining your beatmatching skills or ready to drop your first live set, the Inpulse 500 provides the tactile control and audio quality needed to mix with confidence.
Durable Design and Responsive Control
This isn't a plastic toy; the Inpulse 500 is crafted with a sturdy metal backing plate and a layout that mimics professional club gear. It’s designed to withstand enthusiastic performances while providing the responsive feedback you need to execute precise mixes. The controller’s physical design prioritizes stability and ergonomics, ensuring you stay comfortable during long sessions.
Retractable Feet: The unit features four extendable, non-slip feet that raise the controller by 3.1 inches (8 cm). This not only improves ergonomics and creates space for cable management but also protects the hardware from accidental drink spills during a party.
High-Definition Jog Wheels: The large, touch-sensitive jog wheels offer a vinyl-like feel for scratching and beatmatching. They are highly responsive, allowing for minute adjustments to track position and pitch.
RGB Pads: Sixteen backlit rubber pads (eight per deck) give you instant access to Hot Cues, Loops, and Slicers, providing the creative freedom to remix tracks on the fly.
Integrated Learning and Support Tools
Learning the art of DJing can be intimidating, but the Inpulse 500 removes the guesswork with integrated visual aids. These tools are designed to train your ears and eyes simultaneously, helping you master manual beatmatching without constantly looking at your laptop screen. It’s like having a tutor built directly into the hardware.
Beatmatch Guide: Built-in light guides along the tempo faders and beneath the jog wheels show you exactly which direction to nudge the track to align the beats, making manual synchronization intuitive and easy to learn.
Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA): When using DJUCED, the IMA analyzes your library to suggest the best upcoming tracks based on energy level and key, keeping the vibe of your set consistent.
Visual Alignment: The clear visual feedback allows you to focus on the rhythm and flow of your mix, gradually building the muscle memory required for professional DJing.
Plug In, Power Up: Pro Connectivity
The Inpulse 500 distinguishes itself with a versatile audio interface powered by AKM’s Velvet Sound digital signal processing. It offers a level of connectivity rarely seen in controllers of this class, allowing you to incorporate external sources and microphones seamlessly into your performance. You have full control over your sound, from the main mix to the microphone input.
Hardware Mixer with Aux Filter: Connect external audio sources like smartphones or media players via the 3.5mm or RCA aux inputs. You can process these signals with a dedicated filter knob independently of the software.
Balanced Microphone Input: The controller features a balanced microphone input with dedicated High and Low EQ knobs, ensuring your voice sounds clear and crisp over the mix without needing an external mixer.
Premium Audio Processing: The built-in audio interface supports 24-bit/44.1kHz resolution with Velvet Sound DSP, delivering high-quality audio output to your speakers and headphones.
Master the Mix
The Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 500 is an excellent choice for aspiring DJs who need a controller that grows with their skills. It masterfully merges helpful learning features with professional-grade hardware, making it a reliable companion for every stage of your DJ journey.
