The Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra is a DJ controller for streaming audio with no cables for a 100% nomadic DJing experience.

This audio output device uses no cabling for inbound or outbound data transfer or for power connection. Paired wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0, the device networks with iOS/Android smartphone/tablets for music input, wireless speakers for output, and is fully powered by a built-in battery.

The entirely wireless functionality of the DJControl Mix Ultra is a first in the DJ Controller category.

I think I’m well equipped, but I’m still looking forward to the first reviews, but also better photos and, above all, details of the price.

Apparently it has “sink detection”, so maybe intended as a background music device for plumbers. :rofl:

There’s a reason for that as pertaining to Bluetooth. Latency. Geez, an award? See no evil, hear no evil.

If they solved Bluetooth latency, then maybe they deserve an award.

Interesting, as someone who has the Hercules dj control mix I will be looking out for this. Hercules is usually pretty good on their pricing. I will need to see the full product but it could be promising I think.

I did see one review saying it would be released “later this month”. The audio latency from Bluetooth may be an issue though, other than for very basic playback.

Seems to allow stem separation via button but why no looping buttons ?

Hercules itself specifies January 23 as the release date. Otherwise, I am also skeptical about the latency. For “very basic playback”, however, I would probably do without a controller altogether, especially in conjunction with an iPad or iPhone, where you can already work pretty well with the touchscreen.

What if it’s just a bluetooth “low” latency MIDI controller and you have to use the phone for output with like a split cable?

This is not a problem and at first glance the way I would choose. And if it’s only about the controller functionality, low latency isn’t even absolutely necessary.

Did you not read the product description? :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

This is how the DJControl Mix works, so if that would be an option, it would be a fun device for on-the-go.
