Our take on the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 300 MK2

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 300 MK2 is a two-channel beginner DJ controller with 16 backlit pads, touch-sensitive jog wheels, a 3-band EQ and a built-in audio interface. It ships with Serato DJ Lite and Hercules's own DJUCED software, and its guided learning tools walk new DJs through beatmatching and mixing. It is smaller and lighter than club-standard controllers, so it suits bedroom practice and small parties rather than booth work. Owners rate it highly for value and ease of setup, though some find the build plasticky and the bundled software limited compared with full Serato DJ Pro.

Questions and answers

Is the Inpulse 300 MK2 good for a complete beginner?
Yes. It is built around beginner workflows, and DJUCED's guided lessons walk you through beatmatching and transitions. The layout matches what you will see on larger controllers later.
Does it work with Serato DJ Pro?
It ships with Serato DJ Lite. The hardware is compatible with the full Serato DJ Pro, but that requires a separate license or subscription.
Can I connect a microphone?
There is a 1/4-inch microphone jack, but it shares the input path rather than offering a dedicated mic channel. Check the routing in your software before relying on it for MC work.
What is in the box?
The controller, a USB cable and license keys for Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED. This version is sold as a pack with headphones included.
Does it need a power adapter?
No. It is USB bus-powered, so a single USB connection to your laptop handles power and data.
How does it compare with the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4?
The FLX4 has a sturdier feel and broader software support, while the Inpulse 300 MK2 leans on its guided learning tools and lower entry point. Both are two-channel beginner controllers with similar pad counts.
