Hercules - DJ Console Mk4

01/14/2010 - Hercules unveils DJ Console Mk4 - New portable DJ mixing console offers a compact design and lets you connect any analog audio source for perfect integration with your mixing needs







Come get a sneak preview of the DJ Console Mk4 at NAMM, January 14 - 18, 2010 at the Hercules booth, #6809

NAMM Show, Anaheim, CA - (January 14, 2010) - Hercules, the specialist in digital DJing solutions, unveils the newest version of their DJ Console line, the DJ Console Mk4, a mixing console with a compact design and analog audio source connectivity. This new mixer for amateur to mobile DJ’s is an updated version of their earlier, top-selling models worldwide, the DJ Console and DJ Console Mk2 and features a multitude of improvements and additions that will facilitate musical creativity. Featuring a cutting-edge design, this portable controller includes 2 decks and a high-performance audio interface, making it a real, all-in-one DJ station for PC and Mac users starting in spring 2010.

Built for mobile DJing, the DJ Console Mk4 features a strikingly modern design with a thinner but wider body than the previous model, the DJ Console Mk2. The metallic-colored surface top with a see-through plate and new body provides a comfortable mixing solution to any DJ. It also includes more precise jog wheels, 4 browser buttons instead of a joystick, more space between the cross fader and jog wheels and backlit buttons for ease of use during low-light conditions. Compact (7.36" x 10.4" x 2.5") and lighter than a laptop computer (2.5lb) with large, non-slip feet for perfect stability while mixing, users can take the Hercules DJ Console Mk4 anywhere.

Not your standard DJ controller, the Hercules DJ Console Mk4 also includes a high-performance audio interface:

* 2 stereo outputs (2 x 2 RCA) let DJs play their mix for the audience (channels 1-2: 2 RCA outputs to connect hi-fi systems and mixers, plus 1 stereo mini jack output (1/8" / 3.5mm) for multimedia speakers), while also previewing the next track for themselves (channels 3-4: 2 RCA outputs, plus 1 headphone plug).
* 2 stereo inputs (2 x 2 RCA) let DJs connect external audio sources, and include them in their digital mix: vinyl turntables, CD or MP3 players, and so on.
* 4 input levels: phono (for vinyl turntables), consumer line level (-10dBv, for MP3 players), pro line level (+4dBu, for studio gear), and boosted pro line level (+8dBu, for the most powerful CD players designed for DJing).
* 1 microphone jack (1/4" / 6.35mm), with talk-over function.
* 1 headphone jack (1/4" / 6.35mm), for previewing tracks.



Other features include:

* Two decks for mixing digital audio files
* Two jog wheels for moving within tracks, adjusting speed of playback, applying scratching effects and more

This new Hercules controller will be bundled with VirtualDJ® DJC Edition, an easy to learn yet powerful mixing software that provides users with a wealth of useful functions including audio file analysis for calculating music tracks’ BPM, suggesting a cue point and more. The console also includes functions for synchronizing tracks, as well as for applying automatic loops and multiple effects for users who want to add their own personal touch to their musical creations or record their mixes as audio files. As a final touch, Hercules is including a graphic skin that can be placed underneath the see-through plate on top of the controller, allowing users to give a unique look to their console.

PC: 1.5GHz processor or higher; 1GB RAM; Windows® XP / Vista / 7 (32/64-bit); USB port; stereo speakers and/or headphones.

It's cute.

Joey....
 
"Awsome" Can't wait to buy one.
 
It's more simple than RMX but is an entry level DJconsole for DJs, more compact and easy to carry on. Looks good the next generation of MK2.

And could be use with VirtualDJ Pro 6.0.5 with a small fix :-)
 
It's look good and hercules definately have step up their standard along the years;)
 
Ouch!!! Look at them Wheels!! why u had to show me this? my RMX is gettin jealous! and Com on guys..Toy? its got a Sound card,ins outs...less of a toy than Numark Total Control which i wanted first until i saw the RMX.
 
So when can we buy it? =D
 
You have to remember that this is NAMM which is a "coming events" showcase in many cases to feel out the markets.
I fully expect this to come to the market soon, but remember the Numark NS 7 was a 2 year wait from its first debut there.
As far as the "toy" comments, this is entry level gear and based on the e2 unit (without sound card), a very good buy.
Yes its small, but the control is there for sure.
I use mine for messing around in my easy chair and find it a pretty decent piece.
 
is it better than the rmx (eg stability, latency)?

what bout the dvs aspect of it, is it better than the rmx, cuz i use the rmx with my tts and if this is better i am selling the rmx and getting this then.
 
honestly i think this is a step down from the rmx... the look in comparason to the rmx is not even close,My rmx is so seductive that looks like a toy. they should have kept the same designe n just made the platters bigger n more responsive.My 2 cents
 
^ ur probably right
 
I can't get the thing to work right with windows 8
