The Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra is a portable DJ controller designed for smartphones and tablets. It's lightweight – weighing just 1.9 pounds and measuring 12.4 x 6.9 inches, making it easy to carry in your bag. It has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 hours, and only takes one hour to fully charge.
Using Bluetooth LE, it connects to your phone without draining the battery quickly. You can play music from saved tracks on your phone or from streaming apps. A splitter cable is also included so you can use headphones and speakers at the same time – you can hear the mixing and main output separately.
The controller has eight effects pads – such as hot cues, loops, and FX. There's also a feature called Neural Mix where you can separate the vocals, drums, and bass of a song. There's pitch control and a sampler pad that comes with pre-loaded sounds, but you can also add your own samples.
There is a tri-band EQ for low, mid, and high sound. The knobs are rubber and turn smoothly. It also comes with a protective cover that turns into a phone holder – just place the controller on top and there is a slot for the phone on the back.
It's compatible with Android and iOS, and can be used with the djay app, which is free to download. At ₱12,000+ (or $219.99 USD), it's a great value for beginners or those who want to DJ using just a mobile device.
