Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 500

Preço/Qualidade Top
Os botões e fathers são bons.
O Chassis é robusto.
Os VU’s deixam a desejar, não são precisos.
Muito fácil para a iniciação aos trabalhos de DJ.
As saídas jack são muito melhores do que as de rca, a entrada aux dá muito jeito para ligar por exemplo um iPhone com Spotify para usar uma playlist durante um jantar.
Qualidade e preço muito aceitável, it’s a winner.

Quite solidly built, has practically every output and input type you may possibly want from DJ hardware of that price range and even a bit more (and you can`t state the same about any other controller for that price), and pretty much every feature you expect from a controller of that gauge. It even has a mic input with basic EQ function for it.

The only possible complaints (arguably) can come from - and these are all quite nitpicky - the lack of dedicated sampler volume knob (but if you really need that you could probably map it inside your DJ software to some other knob w/ shift button or something), pads having more of a button functionality and not being actual drum pads (which is kind of common on DJ controllers anyway), and pitch faders being quite short and having some amount of luft (while the former is, again, standart for that kind of controller (with probably only the Numark Mixtrack being the exception), the latter can pose a bit of a problem). And the built-in soundcard is not that powerful hence the output levels are not that loud, but perfectly sufficient for playing at most places you would be expected to bring you hardware anyway (smaller-sized venues, house parties, etc.). But again, some of the other controllers in that price range don`t even have the same output capabilities anyway to bring them to a more professional environment.

Overall, it is a great DJ controller, especially for its money. Probably among the top picks for an entry level DJ hardware - it has everything you would need and possibly even a bit more.

Metal feel in the midle (where knobs are crossfader are placed), nice and useful functions for a beginner (maybe a bit too much), rgb pads and soft touch gives tou a feel of childish but also a very expensive device. A bit heavy and difficult to transport (you really need a case or a big backpack). Interesting lights play when in standby, just connected to a laptop or powerbank. DJUCED offers everything you need, I won’t pay for serato pro license for the momeny. Pay attention when you connect it in order to avoid having a sound delay in headphones & monitors, so you should follow this steps: open your laptop, then connect the console and wait for initialization (lights will bling several times), then open Djuced and start playing some music.

The Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 500 is an excellent controller for its price point. The build quality feels solid, and the metal plate under the mixer section gives it a professional touch. The large, touch-sensitive jog wheels are responsive and feel great for manual beatmatching and scratching.
However, I was disappointed with the included DJUCED software. While it has some useful features, I found it to be buggy and not as reliable as I would have liked, which detracts from the overall experience of using this otherwise great piece of hardware. I would strongly recommend users of this controller consider using it with Serato DJ Lite (or an upgrade to Pro) for a more stable and professional performance environment.
In summary, the hardware is a fantastic value and well-designed, but the software side of the package could be improved."
