DJControl Inpulse 500: 2-deck USB DJ controller for Serato DJ and DJUCED (included)

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is an impressive piece of gear that punches well above its weight class. Whether you're an aspiring DJ looking to level up or a seasoned pro seeking a reliable backup controller, this 2-deck USB unit hits all the right notes. Right out of the box, it feels premium — sturdy metal top plate, full-size jog wheels, and a clean layout that’s both intuitive and performance-ready. The mixer section is particularly well-designed, featuring a 3-band EQ, filters, VU meters, and a hardware mixer for audio inputs. It’s a welcome surprise on a controller at this price point. The compatibility is another huge win. It works seamlessly with both Serato DJ Lite (upgradeable to Pro) and DJUCED, giving you the freedom to experiment with different software ecosystems. The onboard Beatmatch Guide is also incredibly helpful for beginners, making learning the art of manual beatmatching a lot less intimidating. Other standout features include balanced XLR outputs, an auxiliary input with dedicated volume control, and RGB performance pads that let you trigger hot cues, rolls, slicers, and more. The touch-sensitive jog wheels are accurate and smooth, ideal for scratching and tight cue control. Overall, the Inpulse 500 offers a rare combination of high-end features, rock-solid build quality, and beginner-friendly tools — all at a budget-friendly price. Hercules has clearly designed this with growth in mind, making it an excellent long-term investment for DJs at any level. Pros: Solid build quality with a metal faceplate Serato DJ and DJUCED compatibility Balanced XLR outputs Helpful beat-matching aids for learners Professional-grade features at a mid-range price Cons: No standalone mixer functionality without a computer Limited to 2 decks (which may not suit 4-deck users)

This has genuinely been the best jump for a purchase I’ve EVER had made. I use this controller for my gigs and have had no issues other than the speed of the jogwheel. 10/10 if you’re looking for the best start/something easy to play for any scenario

Nice Controller. I use it with DJUCED, and I also connect it to TIDAL online music for DJs. There are many more online music options also.

Very nice, easy to work with little difficult to download the software.This I'll be very careful you have to buy pretty much everything

100% Recommend this product to any beginning / entry level DJ's out there. I'm a bedroom DJ and I've done a few public gigs. This controller is amazing with high end features and high quality controls. I am not a paid endorser of this product, but I have hundreds of hours use on it. I love this thing! Maybe if I were really trying to make all my money as a DJ, this controller may not fit the bill, but I could still work. DJ Carlo said it best, your DJing doesn't get better because you have a more expensive controller. This thing is a Rock Star in my books and if mine were damaged, or stolen, or stopped working for some odd reason, I'd buy another one immediately.

So many features! Works best with Virtual DJ Djay pro

Todo a tiempo y muy buen producto

Excelente Producto. Funcionando perfectamente

Want to slice up your party life or just want to be a bedroom DJ? This is your go to. Donny research between the DDJ by pioneer, and Numark platinum. Decided to go with Hercules. It’s an amazing controller. Easy to use and has guides for beginners to really learn the ins and outs of DJing. Everything feels sturdy and high quality, pads, buttons and knobs all feel and move well. And on top of that there is tons of ports on the back. Both 3 and 5mm jacks on the back as well. Huge plus. It comes with serato light and also a full version of DJuced. Big great programs, and for learning they really come in handy. The system is not compatible with rekordbox as the pioneer would be, but honestly for a first deck this gets the job beyond done. If in the future you want to upgrade and try to play in clubs, then the standard they use is a pioneer deck. Deck wise it will be easy to figure out as it is similar. The only downside would be learning a new program. But realistically once you have practice with DJuced, I’m sure it won’t be too much of a hassle to swap programs and continue doing your thing. Some other cool features are the foldable legs. Will protect from spilled drinks, and also add some height to the deck while sitting or standing. Pads glow different colours as well and the jog wheels feel heavy and have nice movement to them. Very worth the money, would buy again for sure.

Produto bom, bonito, charmoso demais. Tirando a demora pra chegar, que não é culpa do vendedor.

Nunca eh tenido ningún problema con Amazon, considero que son los mejores a nivel mundial, está vez me llegó así y suena como si hubiera una pieza suelta, voy a probarlo en estos días. Muchas gracias, si todo sale bien vuelvo a comentar. Las piezas sueltas eran unos flyers del DJ Coach. Leí la garantía y estoy decepcionado, si ocupas tu equipo fuera de casa y algo falla ya no aplica, no es tan ve y show your mix!... Aparte a mí siempre me pasa lo mismo con los programas parece que le cuesta trabajo detectar los kicks y el grid no es preciso. Tal vez sea porque mezclo psytrance y sus variantes. Siempre termino empatando a la antigua. Al menos si detecta bien el bpm en la mayoría de los track. Los pitch Faders se siente algo sueltos. En mi opinión no son los más precisos, pero se puede ajustar en pitch range. Sin embargo el controlldor funciona de maravilla, el diseño me encanta y se siente muy buena calidad. La cuestión de los efectos se refuerza cuando los combinas con los pads en djuced. Me encanta la función de loop, eh probado ddj400 y djsb3, este me gusta más, estaría bueno compararlo con la mixtrack pro. Cómo todo tiene pros (muchos) y contras(pocos), personalmente estoy muy feliz, sólo espero que no falle. Lo único que me decepcionó fue la garantía y no puedo o no sé cómo registrar el producto. Estoy muy contento con la relación precio calidad, en general responde muy bien.

Value for money: good Sound quality: Awsm
