General
Hercules always manages to come up with compact and inspiring DJ controllers. The DJ Control Air+ is the successor of the Control Air - it features two decks and a two-channel mixer, great for giving away a spectacular show. Thanks to its small footprint, the Control Air+ S is great for travelling DJs. It comes with DJ software, so you can even record your own mixes - perfect for a quick gig or jam sessions.
Hercules DJ Control Air Plus S: touch-sensitive
What would a DJ controller be without its platters? The Control Air Plus has two touch-sensitive platters, one for each deck. With these 15-cm platters you can easily scratch away and make smooth transitions from track to track. The decks also feature four velocity-sensitive trigger pads each, allowing you to quickly apply effects, start loops or set cues. With the mixer section, you can perfectly control your software’s mixer. Each channel features an EQ and a filter button, and thanks to the crossfader, fading between channels is very easy.
Contactless Air control
One unique function of this DJ controller is the contactless Air control - 'Air' stands for Adjustment by InfraRed. This lets you create the most spectacular effects, simply by moving your hand above the infrared sensor. The Air function can be freely assigned to a number of effects or the pitch bend, and allows you to influence the effects naturally. Because the controller features an on-board sound card, you'll only need a computer for delivering the performance of your lifetime.
