## Long description

Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is a professional two-deck DJ controller designed for Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED. It features a sturdy metal backing plate, two large touch-sensitive jog wheels for scratching, 16 backlit rubber RGB performance pads, a dedicated Filter/FX section, an integrated hardware mixer for input sources, and extendable non-slip feet that elevate the unit and provide cable routing and spill protection. The controller is USB-powered and provides multiple outputs and headphone connectors for versatile setup and live use.
Advantages
The controller combines a robust build with practical features for both learning and performing: touch detection jog wheels for accurate scratching, RGB pads for hot cues and performance modes, a Filter/FX area compatible with Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED, and a hardware AUX filter to apply effects to external sources independently from the software. Retractable feet raise the unit to improve ergonomics and protect cables while the balanced microphone input and EQ controls let you adjust vocal levels on stage.

Beginner and intermediate DJs learning to mix with Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED
Performing DJs who need a compact, portable controller with microphone input
Mixing music from local libraries and supported streaming services (TIDAL, SoundCloud GO+ in Serato; Beatport LINK, Beatsource LINK, Qobuz in DJUCED)

How to use
Connect the controller to your computer via the supplied USB cable to power it and launch Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED. Attach speakers to the master outputs (1/4" jacks or RCA) and plug headphones into the 3.5 mm or 6.35 mm jack for cueing. Use the software library or supported streaming services to load tracks onto each deck. Use the jog wheels and Beatmatch Guide light guides to align beats manually, trigger cues and loops with the RGB pads, and apply effects using the Filter/FX area. To mix an external source, connect it to the input and use the AUX filter knob to add filtering independent of the software. Adjust the crossfader curve on the controller to suit mixing or scratching styles.

For stable performance, use a reliable USB port and a computer meeting the stated system requirements. When performing, extend the retractable feet to improve ergonomics and protect cables; use the balanced microphone input and EQ controls to set vocal levels before starting a set. When using streaming services, verify account compatibility with your chosen software (Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED).
