Et Cetera is delighted to announce the release of the Hercules DJ Console for Mac, a unique complete portable DJ controller MP3 mixer bundled with Traktor professional DJ software.

Hercules Technologies, developer and manufacturer of music and video computer peripherals, has launched the Hercules DJ Console for Mac with a special edition of Native Instruments’ Traktor DJ Studio, the leading pro DJ software on the Mac platform.

The Hercules DJ Console enables the user to play, mix and manipulate MP3s and other digital audio files -- everything a DJ can do with record decks… and a whole lot more!

The portable USB device features an integrated 24-bit multi-channel (5.1) soundboard for superior sound quality. Controls include twin platters for cueing tracks, traditional-style sliders and 28 buttons. It also features digital (S/PDIF) in/outs and MIDI connectors.

Traktor DJ Studio is the world’s leading digital mixing software. Developed in conjunction with professional DJs, it offers unrivalled real-time mixing and remixing features.

“The PC version of the Hercules DJ Console was extremely well received by the DJ community, so we were keen to develop a Mac edition in line with Apple’s dedication to digital music,” says Bruno Ormel, Hercules’ Audio Division Director.

“After updating our hardware and drivers to be Mac OS X compliant, we were delighted to receive enthusiastic support from Native Instruments who developed a special version of the famous Traktor DJ Studio software.”

“Traktor DJ Studio: DJ Console Edition offers DJs countless simple-yet-powerful mixing functions. It provides the accuracy and performance of the impressive Traktor engine tailored precisely to the DJ Console.”

“When we first came across the Hercules DJ Console, we realised right away that this hardware would be a great match for our Traktor DJ software,” says Native Instruments’ Marketing Director Florian Haver.

"As it turned out, combining the powerful features of the Traktor platform with the hands-on capabilities of Hercules’ ingenious DJ controller works out tremendously well. We are proud to play our part in delivering a Digital DJing package that is highly capable, extremely usable and very affordable."
