About this product
This Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is a single deck controller (per specs) that comes with both Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED software. Priced at $276.40, it offers a budget-friendly entry into digital DJing. The controller features a built-in sound card and is USB-powered. While the single deck designation might confuse some, it likely refers to the control layout, as the hardware supports two decks in the software.
Our take
I picked up this Inpulse 500 for a great price under $280. It comes with two software packages, which is nice for experimenting. The build quality is decent for the price, and the pads work well. However, the specs say it's a single deck controller, but in practice it handles two decks in the software—just the hardware controls are more limited. The headphone output is a bit weak, and the pitch faders are short. Still, for the money, it's a solid intro controller if you're just starting out.
