Hercules: Digital Core. Analog Roots®
For over 30 years, we have focused on innovating and developing digital audio solutions which continue to inspire users with endless new possibilities. We constantly draw on our roots in analog audio, in order to offer cutting-edge devices, celebrated for their precision and sound quality. From our very first sound card to our latest high-tech mixing controllers, Hercules has built up a level of expertise and know-how widely acknowledged within the audio industry.
With the digital audio era still in its early stages (considering analog audio’s more than a century and a half of history), we find ourselves facing a new path whose direction is ours to chart. Acknowledging and respecting where we come from – while at the same time remaining keenly focused on the evolution of audio and DJing – is the philosophy which guides us every day: Digital Core. Analog Roots®.
2. For more than 30 years now, we’ve been putting our passion for
music right at the heart of our innovations and the development
of our audio solutions. From the first sound card for PC with up to
64 polyphonic channels that we designed, to the first portable
mixing console featuring a built-in audio interface, our creativity has
allowed Hercules to become a major player in the world of interactive
entertainment.
Hercules completed a total brand refresh in 2018, offering even more
innovative, higher-performance solutions for learning how to DJ —
making it fun and easy for everyone to understand and master all of
the techniques required for mixing.
3. More driven than ever by our goal of opening up
DJing to everyone, we’ve specially designed a new
range of controllers to help users get started learning
how to DJ, and build their skills with total confidence.
Our main motivation at Hercules is to empower
people to train their ears to understand the rhythm
and really become DJs. Our new controllers feature
the BEATMATCH GUIDE (built-in helpful light guides)
that shows users exactly what they need to do,
making learning how to mix both easy and fun.
At Hercules, we also believe that creativity is
extremely important, and that it should be easy
to select your music according to the mood you
want to set for your party. With this in mind, we’ve
developed the IMA(Intelligent Music Assistant) to
suggest the best upcoming tracks for your mixes. It’s
perfect for all DJs — from beginners right through to
professionals.
All this is possible thanks to our full-featured DJ
software, designed for and included with Hercules
controllers: DJUCED®. The latest version of DJUCED®
features a new interface that’s more intuitive than
ever, with Hercules DJ Academy video tutorials built
right in to help users learn the fundamentals of DJing
and hone their skills.
