Who hasn’t dreamed of replacing David Guetta at the turntables? Luxsure played along with the Hercules DJ Control AIR, the latest mixing console from Hercules.
Hercules DJ Control AIR, the first portable USB DJ controller with air control in addition to touch controls (for PC and Mac). Hercules DJ Control AIR is packed with innovations that make mixing attractive, intuitive and spectacular, whether you’re an amateur DJ or new to DJing:
– “Air control”, a command for controlling the mix in the air.
– 8 large pads (generally flat, square buttons) with velocity sensor. – a vumeter displaying beats on the controller.
Hercules brings together a set of intuitive and spectacular controls on a single mobile control surface. These controls are usually accessible to seasoned musicians via several separate controllers that they program themselves.
The perfect way to take the plunge into the world of mixing. Extremely easy to use, this console has everything you need to mix, and why not go pro?
There’s a mix in the air
AIR literally means “Infrared Adjustment”. It’s an innovative control system for computer mixing consoles. A proximity infra-red sensor, integrated into the case, enables the DJ to control the function of his choice (a volume, an effect…) without touching the turntable, simply by moving his hand flat over the sensor. It’s like magic in the air, in front of the dancefloor!
This AIR control operates regardless of ambient lighting conditions, and allows you to modulate a software parameter instantly and rapidly.
Integrated audio for mixing and pre-listening.
This is what we particularly appreciate, because it’s not always the case and it becomes very complicated to mix without….
Hercules DJ Control AIR integrates 2 stereo audio outputs:
– for broadcasting the mix to speakers: a 3.5 mm stereo jack output. – for pre-listening to tracks through headphones: a 6.35 mm stereo jack output.
The DJ controller is supplied with DJUCED, a powerful software package for mixing, synchronizing, cueing and adding your own touch to the music, with an intuitive graphical interface, on both Mac® and PC.
Hercules DJ control AIR is the versatile, innovative digital DJ controller that lets amateur DJs and beginners mix with a computer, headphones and speakers as their only equipment. Available at the recommended retail price of €149.99.
