Hercules DJ Learning Kit MK2

Complete DJ Starter Bundle with Built-In Tutorials

The Hercules DJLearning Kit MK2 is the brand's flagship beginner bundle, taking a first-time DJ from unboxing to a finished mix without buying extra accessories. Inside the box sits the DJControl Inpulse 200 MK2 controller, DJMonitor 32 speakers, and HDP DJ45 headphones. Both Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED ship in the box, and Hercules unlocks royalty-free tracks plus video lessons through the in-app DJ Academy.

What Sets This Kit Apart: Light-Guided Mixing and Dual-Software Coaching

Two features make this bundle stand out in the entry-level category. The Beatmatch Guide uses LED light strips beneath each jog wheel and beside the tempo fader to show which direction to nudge the BPM and how to align beats — a visual teaching tool that bridges the gap between pressing Sync and mixing fully by ear. The Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA) works inside both DJUCED and Serato DJ Lite, suggesting the best upcoming track from your library or Beatport ADVANCED.

DJControl Inpulse 200 MK2 — Compact 2-Deck Layout

The controller keeps the layout intentionally minimal so beginners focus on fundamentals rather than a wall of buttons.

• Jog wheels: 9 cm diameter with touch detection and a vinyl-mode toggle for scratch practice.
• Performance pads: 4 pads per deck × 4 modes (Hot Cue, Stems, FX, Sampler) — 8 pads total across both decks.
• Mixing zone: 2-band EQ, 1 filter knob, 1 gain knob, 1 volume fader per deck, plus crossfader and dedicated master and headphone volume knobs.

Audio Outputs, Speakers, and Headphones

Signal flow is wired end-to-end — no extra cables needed to complete the chain.

• Controller outputs: 2 RCA master outputs and 1 × 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack headphone output on the front panel.
• DJMonitor 32 speakers: 2 RCA inputs with a 1.8 m RCA cable included.
• HDP DJ45 headphones: 3.5 mm stereo jack with a 2.7 m cable and a 3.5 mm to 6.35 mm adapter.

Software, Streaming, and Learning Resources

Two free mixing platforms ship with the kit, both tuned for beginners and packed with coaching tools.

• Included software: Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED — both include Beatmatch Guide and IMA.
• Streaming support: Apple Music, Beatport, Beatsource, SoundCloud, Spotify, TIDAL directly inside both apps.
• Learning resources: DJ Academy in DJUCED, Hercules DJ YouTube tutorials, and a 5-day DJCoach.com course.

Who Should Buy This DJ Starter Bundle

This kit suits first-time DJs who want a ready-to-mix setup without researching individual components — bedroom-mixing hobbyists, students on a structured learn-to-DJ path, and anyone testing the waters before higher-end gear. The light-guided Beatmatch Guide and dual-software coaching help learners who don't yet trust their ears to beatmatch by sound alone. Because the bundle ships with speakers and headphones, it works as a self-contained gift for a beginner who has nothing but a laptop.

The brand partners with DJCoach.com for structured courses and maintains a dedicated DJ Academy on its YouTube channel, so buyers receive hardware plus an ongoing learning path. The MK2 generation adds Stems support and dual Serato/DJUCED compatibility, lowering the barrier between owning a controller and playing a first live mix.
