Hercules DJ Console Mark II DJ Software Controller (Windows)
Following the success of the first DJ Console, Hercules is proud to offer an even more professional and high-performance solution. With 2 stereo inputs to connect 2 vinyl turntables or CD players and 2 stereo outputs allowing users to play their mix over amplified speakers or redirect the sound to an effects processor or external mixer, the Hercules DJ Console Mk2 can be used on its own or function as an interface between a computer and a DJ’s other analog instruments.
The DJ Console Mk2 also includes the functions that made the first DJ Console a success: a double mixing deck to control DJ mixes, a sound card dedicated to DJing, a microphone input with a “talk-over” function and a headphone output for previewing songs. It is still portable to accompany a DJ anywhere: compact, it connects to a PC’s USB port, is powered by the USB port, and includes a shoulder strap and a detachable cover for transportation. In conjunction with its software, the DJ Console Mk2 gives DJs total control of their music, with a highly precise instant BPM counter, as well as effects to transform, filter and loop audio files, allowing DJs to give their mixes the kind of personality they desire.
The DJ Console Mk2 can accompany a DJ through each stage of their career, whether it is their first DJing instrument or the DJ is already equipped for analog mixing. The DJ loses neither their DJing markers nor the dexterity they have acquired on their current hardware. They don’t have to change their style and can concentrate completely on their performance!
DJ Console Mk2 comes bundled with the VirtualDJ® 3 DJ Console Edition software.
