Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Today Hercules have announced the release of their latest DJ Console, Hercules DJ Console Mk4.
From Hercules, “The Hercules DJ Console Mk4 is the most portable and most compact 2-deck DJ controller with built-in audio for PC and Mac®: just 26.5 x 18.7cm in size (10.4″ x 7.3″) and weighing in at a mere 1.15kg (3.3lb), DJ Console Mk4 is the ideal controller for mobile DJs, wherever they are mixing.”
The DJ Console Mk4 has two stereo outputs, one for mixing and the other for previewing tracks. All rca (phono) outputs enable the unit to be easity integgrated into any home or professional DJ environment.
With the DJ Console Mk4, DJs can integrate analog audio into their digital mix and switch between mixing on their computer and mixing with standard DJ decks (CD or vinyl). Using DJ Console Mk4 and the included VirtualDJ® software, DJs can manipulate external audio sources just as they would with an analog mixing setup (the cross fader, volume faders and EQ knobs control mixing between the two external decks).

Peavey TriFlex® II Officially Launched
Friday, March 19th, 2010
The Peavey TriFlex II system is a complete sound system providing 1,200 watts of power through a three speaker setup – one 15″ Peavey subwoofer plus two satellite speakers with 10” premium woofers and Peavey RX14™ 1.4” titanium compression drivers on patented Peavey Quadratic Throat Waveguide™ horns. The system is engineered for balanced sound and crisp presentation regardless of the application, with clear sound at high output levels and plenty of punchy bass.
The TriFlex II chassis is housed in the subwoofer enclosure and includes all of the system electronics – two-channel preamp, electronic crossover and subsonic filter – as well as the three power amps. For easy transport, the TriFlex subwoofer can be turned onto its built-in 3” casters, with the satellite speakers secured in the sub’s grille cavity. A cover with pockets to store microphones, cables, etc. is also provided.
The Peavey TriFlex II sets up in seconds; once in position, DJs simply have to remove the two satellite speakers and turn the subwoofer onto its rubber feet so the preamp controls, inputs and outputs are conveniently positioned at the top rear of the subwoofer enclosure. The satellite loudspeakers feature pole mounts for placing on speaker stands to disperse the sound to the audience. These speakers also have a 45-degree back angle so they can be used as floor monitors when placed on the appropriate side.
The TriFlex II enclosures are constructed of sturdy 18 mm MDF with internal bracing and coated with a tough black acrylic paint finish, and feature a 16-gauge perforated metal grille for the ultimate in road-worthy durability.
