Rock the house with a small and portable yet powerful DJ console that almost fits in your pocket

Now, it really doesn't matter whether you throw a hip-hop or a metal party, the principle stays the same: the music must roll on and someone would better take care of this operation, if you're looking for a serious party. This "taking care of"-operation is called mixing or DJ-ing and it's carried out by DJs running a mixer console.

These pieces of gear are usually large, heavy and bulky and I haven't yet met the DJ so willing to carry all his/her heavy gear from party to party or as often as required (not speaking here about the pros). That's why a smaller, lightweight and still powerful DJ-ing tool was direly needed by the party-people. Their wait is over now, once with the launching of the Hercules Mobile DJ MP3 console.

Now, "mobile" should cover for everything: it is small but it also features full-scale command buttons, except for the small-size turntable-controls. As for the rest, the Hercules console has them all: it runs on two channels and sports 2 pitch sliders and one crossfader, a total of 25 buttons including an automix option and 2 backlit LCD screens displaying all time needed info on the track currently running on the two decks - artist and song name as well as elapsed and remaining time, BPM and so on.

Just to see that it really replicated a very serious mixing tool, the remaining time is displayed in a visual progress bar as well, so you don't actually need to force your sight and do some math subtracting or constantly watching seconds pass by: just like on a normal CD-deck you'd meet on any serious DJ's table, the progress bar is very visible!

Pitch, sync, scratch, loop or insert FX such as applause, the Hercules Mobile DJ console will add guaranteed quality and fun to you music-backed meeting, whether wild parties or family barbecue. Sporting a 1.1 pounds total weight (total as in including batteries!), the console comes in a nifty box containing all additional software for your MP3/WMA mixes and also has wireless connectivity so you can actually mix from the lawn...

This cool portable DJ console sells for a very nice price of just $90 which makes it both powerful AND affordably mobile.
