Following the worldwide success of DJControl Inpulse 300, Serato will be arriving on the new version of the controller to offer a solution for learning how to mix — specially designed for beginners.
Announced at the NAMM SHOW, Hercules will officially launch DJControl Inpulse 300 MK2 this Wednesday, January 4, 2023, with worldwide commercial availability set for Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
Great new features
With the main feature being the integration of the Serato DJ Lite software, Hercules’ teams have wholly reworked the product’s overall design, with significant upgrades made to specific features.
Improved jog wheels: better rotation and enlarged detection zone for an enhanced scratching feel.
More comfortable to use than ever: improved rubber pads with minimal numbering markings for an even brighter backlighting area and enhanced visibility.
Premium look: the controller is more readable and comfortable, allowing users to mix under the best conditions. Light guides are built directly into the controller to help users learn the proper moves and manually sync and cue up tracks:
- Tempo faders: LED arrows are located alongside each tempo fader, allowing users to adjust tracks’ BPM manually easily.
- Beat Align guides: LED arrows are located underneath each jog wheel, to guide users through lining up tracks with one another and making sure that their transitions are perfectly synced.

- In Europe, at a suggested retail price of €199.99 / £179.99.
