Hercules DJ Console 4-MX DJ Controller

An innovative and precise controller for professional DJs.

Featuring a built-in audio interface, 2 large, touch-sensitive jog wheels, and 4 virtual decks, the DJ Console 4-Mx DJ controller gives the pro DJ a wide variety of high-performance controls. This includes 89 controls in 2-deck mode and 150 controls in 4-deck mode.

2 Jog wheels
The jog wheels on the Hercules’ DJ Console 4-Mx are the same size as jog wheels on CD players, are secure so there’s no disturbance from static electricity, and they are intuitive enough so there’s never a need to ever calibrated. Each has weight sensors that detect your hand’s weight to activate scratch mode in a natural way like on vinyl turntables and high-end CD players. During audio track playback, the 4-Mx’s jog wheels let you manipulate the music in the following ways:
•Rotation without jog wheel press = pitch bend (like when you turn a turntable’s ring)
•Rotation with jog wheel press = scratch (like when you turn a vinyl record with your hand flat on the record)
•No rotation with jog wheel press = stop playback (like when you stop a vinyl record’s rotation with your hand)
•No rotation without jog wheel press = playback continues

4-deck control
DJ Console 4-Mx controls both 2 decks and 4 decks, with 2 buttons switching the decks: a deck switch button on the left deck converts deck A into C / deck C into A while a deck switch button on the right deck converts deck B into D / deck D into B. Once a deck is switched, all of the commands that the deck’s controls send to the DJ software are changed, and the letter of the active deck is highlighted in the center of the mixer.

2 ways of using DJ Console 4-Mx’s audio outputs
For a mix inside DJ Console 4-Mx, connect the speakers/amplifier to outputs 1-2 to play the mix for your audience and connect headphones to one of the 2 headphone outputs (front or top) to preview tracks. For an external mix using an external mixer with DJ software, connect DJ Console 4-Mx outputs 1-2 to inputs 1-2 on the external mixer, outputs 3-4 to inputs 3-4 on the external mixer, mix on the external mixer, hook up a pair of headphones to the external mixer, and then use DJ Console 4-Mx to control the virtual decks.

Microphone input
The DJ Console 4-Mx’s microphone input can be used as a talk-over source (default mode)—the microphone is played on outputs 1-2 over the music in the background, using the music attenuation level set inside the control panel (0dB, -3dB, -6dB or -9dB). It can also be used as a standard source replacing inputs 1-2. The DJ Console 4-Mx preamplifies the microphone input by up to +34dB.

The DJ Console 4-Mx gives you with 2 stereo outs and 2 stereo ins, and comes with VIRTUAL DJ LE software.
