Hercules MK4

[atticus18244fsas]

We've certainly heard this "world's smallest" claim before in the world of DJ controllers, but as components shrink and plastics get thinner, we aren't shocked to see one company leap-frogging another. According to Hercules, its new DJ Console Mk4 is "the most portable and most compact 2-deck DJ controller with built-in audio for PC and Mac," checking in at 10.4- x 7.3-inches and weighing just 3.3 pounds. Making its musical debut at Musikmesse 2010, this controller boasts a pair of stereo outputs (one for mixing, one for previewing tracks), a duo of analog inputs, the ability to hum along on USB power alone and a bevy of knobs / faders for those who actually know what they're doing with a pair of platters spinning in front of them. It's slated to ship this June in the UK for £179.99 ($268), though no US availability seems planned at the moment.

Update: Good news! Hercules pinged us to say that the unit will be out in America this June with an MSRP of $199.

Seems like a somewhat good entry level controller. Obviosuly competing with the Vestax Spin.

it does however look like every other Hercules model with some quater inch jacks added and some extra knobs, but yet they look incredibly out of place i can't explain it. its just not pleasing on the eye, and if your djing with it your going to be looking at it a hell of alot.
