Hercules Mobile DJ MP3 review

Hercules Mobile DJ MP3
Importing MP3 files into the Hercules Mobile DJ Mix software was a snap. The software also offers DJ mix options not found on the controller--including EQ, extra effects, loop markers, and filtering. You can even record your mix in real time.

Once your music is loaded into the software and the controller confirms its connection to your computer, you're off and running and can control the DJ software completely from the controller. The range of the wireless connection is rated around 20 feet, but when we tested it in our office we were able to squeeze about 50 feet of distance between the controller and the receiver before the controller stopped working. Even with the controller out of range, audio playback was never interrupted--only our ability to manipulate the audio using the DJ controller was affected.

Who's it for?
There is a great big world of digital DJ equipment competing for the attention of both amateurs and professionals. The Hercules Mobile DJ MP3 is more of a trickle-down product that takes some of the most fun and intuitive parts of the professional DJ experience and translates them into a product aimed at people who just want a tool for DJing their own party. The key word here is "novelty." We would not use the Hercules Mobile DJ MP3 at a wedding or any serious event where the music experience is held up to scrutiny. If you're looking for a more serious product, Hercules does make a much more robust and professional digital DJ controller called the MK2, and companies such as Numark, and M-Audio offer similar pro audio solutions as well.
