Hercules DJControl T10 Motorised DJ Controller
The Hercules DJControl T10 is a professional 2-channel motorised DJ controller featuring 10-inch metal platters with real vinyl discs, Dr. Suzuki slipmats, an Innofader-approved contactless InduXfader and 16 RGB performance pads. Serato DJ Pro, Pitch ’n Time DJ and DJUCED PRO are included for complete performance flexibility.
Hercules DJControl T10 – 10" Motorised DJ Controller with InduXfader & Serato DJ Pro
The Hercules DJControl T10 Motorised DJ Controller brings the physical response of vinyl turntables into a modern professional controller designed for scratch DJs, turntablists, battle DJs, open-format performers and DJs who want a more tactile connection with their music.
At the heart of the DJControl T10 are two large 10-inch motorised metal platters topped with genuine vinyl discs, Dr. Suzuki felt slipmats and Dr. Suzuki slipsheets. This combination is designed to deliver the authentic physical feedback of a traditional turntable while retaining the flexibility and convenience of a modern DJ controller.
Hercules has developed a servo-controlled motor system specifically for the T10. A brushless motor drives each platter via a belt, while a sensor continually monitors rotation and a microcontroller corrects deviations in real time. Starting torque is rated at 0.16N·m, with the manufacturer specifying full playback speed in under 100ms.
At the centre of the battle-style mixer section is Hercules' InduXfader, a contactless crossfader approved by Innofader. Instead of relying on conventional physical contact to track the fader's position, it uses electromagnetic induction. The crossfader can be personalised using feeling, curve, cut-lag and reverse controls, all accessible from the front panel.
The performance layout provides plenty of room around the faders while placing 16 large RGB performance pads across the two decks. Hot Cues, loops, Stems and sampler functions can be accessed directly from the controller, alongside FX paddles for immediate hands-on effects control.
Dedicated Stems controls allow vocals and instrumentals to be isolated or muted in real time. DJs can strip tracks back, highlight individual elements and create live mashups without interrupting playback.
The T10 also introduces Stem Slip, a Serato-powered feature designed to return the Stem track to the correct playback position once scratching stops, helping maintain the momentum and musical progression of the track.
Software is another major advantage. The DJControl T10 includes Serato DJ Pro with the Pitch ’n Time DJ expansion and DJUCED PRO, giving DJs two complete software workflows straight out of the box.
For DJs using streaming libraries, the T10 provides access to Apple Music, Beatport, SoundCloud, Spotify and TIDAL through supported DJ software, with Apple Music and Spotify available through Serato DJ Pro.
Professional connectivity makes the T10 suitable for more than home use. Balanced XLR master outputs provide up to +28dBu, accompanied by RCA master outputs and balanced 6.3mm booth outputs. Dedicated headphone connections, an XLR/6.3mm combination microphone input and an RCA auxiliary input provide the connectivity required for professional performance setups.
Two USB-C computer connections allow two DJs to connect simultaneously, providing a convenient workflow for back-to-back performances and DJ changeovers without repeatedly disconnecting computers.
Despite its large 10-inch platter design, the T10 weighs just 7.3kg and incorporates retractable feet. With the feet folded, it measures 95 × 35.3 × 9.5cm, creating a comparatively portable format for a controller offering full-size motorised performance decks.
For DJs who have embraced digital performance but still want the physical response of vinyl beneath their hands, the Hercules DJControl T10 creates a distinctive bridge between traditional turntablism and modern software-based DJing.

Why Choose the Hercules DJControl T10?
The DJControl T10 is designed around physical performance and genuine vinyl feel.
Rather than simply adding motorised jog wheels to a conventional controller, Hercules combines 10-inch metal platters, real vinyl discs, Dr. Suzuki slipmats and slipsheets with its contactless InduXfader, dedicated Stems controls, FX paddles and RGB performance pads.
10-Inch Motorised Metal Platters
The headline feature of the Hercules DJControl T10 is its pair of 10-inch / 25.4cm motorised metal platters.
Each deck uses a real 10-inch vinyl disc together with a Dr. Suzuki felt slipmat and slipsheet, giving scratch DJs genuine physical materials beneath their hands rather than attempting to reproduce the vinyl experience entirely through a conventional jog-wheel surface.
Servo-Controlled Motor System
Hercules uses a brushless motor, belt drive, rotation sensor and microcontroller-controlled servo system.
The sensor continually monitors platter rotation and the controller corrects deviations in real time. Hercules specifies 0.16N·m starting torque and full playback speed in less than 100ms.
Real 10-Inch Vinyl Discs
The DJControl T10 doesn't simply use a vinyl-effect platter surface.
Hercules supplies two genuine 10-inch vinyl discs, creating a more authentic physical interface for scratching and manipulating tracks.
The aim is to provide the same type of physical feedback DJs are accustomed to when performing on traditional turntables.
Dr. Suzuki Slipmats & Slipsheets
Hercules pairs the vinyl discs with specialist Dr. Suzuki felt slipmats and Dr. Suzuki slipsheets.
The package contains two of each, providing a complete vinyl-style platter setup straight out of the box.
InduXfader Contactless Crossfader
At the centre of the T10 is Hercules' InduXfader, a contactless crossfader approved by Innofader.
The system uses electromagnetic induction to detect the position of the fader without physical contact between the moving shuttle and the sensor. Hercules highlights this design for its light touch, longevity and absence of mechanical sensor wear.
Adjustable Crossfader Feel
The InduXfader can be customised directly from the controller's front panel.
Adjustments include:
- Cut-lag – from short scratch-style cuts to slower mixing
- Feeling – from light to heavy
- Curve – adjusts the fader response
- Reverse – reverses the crossfader direction
This allows the T10 to be configured around the individual DJ's preferred scratching or mixing technique.
16 RGB Performance Pads
The DJControl T10 provides 16 large RGB performance pads, with eight positioned on each deck.
These pads include access to Hot Cue, Loop, Stems and Sampler functionality, providing immediate hands-on control over common performance features. Pad illumination can also be adjusted to suit different performance environments.
Dedicated Stems Controls
Dedicated Stems controls on each deck allow vocals and instrumentals to be isolated or muted in real time.
This allows DJs to create live mashups, remove vocals, highlight instrumentals or reconstruct tracks during a performance without stopping the music.
Stem Slip
The T10 also introduces Stem Slip, a feature powered by Serato.
Once scratching stops, Stem Slip returns the Stem track to the correct position, helping maintain the musical progression and momentum of the performance.
FX Paddles
Dedicated FX paddles provide immediate access to effects which include Reverb, Filter and Dub Echo, while the detailed mixer also features Noise among the Channel FX. The paddle workflow allows effects to be introduced quickly and released just as quickly, making it particularly well suited to scratch, battle and open-format performance styles.
Serato DJ Pro Included
The Hercules DJControl T10 includes a full Serato DJ Pro licence.
Pitch 'n Time DJ Included
The package also includes Pitch ’n Time DJ, Serato's professional time-stretching and pitch-shifting expansion.
DJUCED PRO Included
Hercules also supplies a full DJUCED PRO licence.
DJUCED PRO provides another complete software environment, with Hercules highlighting features including set recording, controller mapping customisation and video loops.
This is an important distinction because customers aren't simply receiving an entry-level Serato DJ Lite licence and then having to purchase the Pro upgrade separately.
Music Streaming
The manufacturer's supplied information lists support for accessing:
- Apple Music
- Beatport
- SoundCloud
- Spotify
- TIDAL
through supported DJ software.
Dual USB-C for Back-to-Back DJ Sets
The DJControl T10 features two USB-C computer connections, allowing two computers to remain connected simultaneously.
Each deck includes a USB 1–2 switch, providing a practical solution for DJ changeovers and back-to-back sets without continually reconnecting computers.
Professional XLR Master Outputs
The T10 provides professional balanced outputs suitable for direct connection to compatible PA systems.
Master connections comprise:
- 2 × Balanced XLR (+28dBu)
- 2 × RCA (+7dBu)
There is also a separate pair of balanced 6.3mm booth outputs (+28dBu) for connecting DJ booth monitors.
Microphone & Auxiliary Inputs
A balanced XLR / 6.3mm combination microphone input provides microphone gain adjustment from 0 to +60dB, together with dedicated tone control.
A stereo RCA auxiliary input is also provided for connecting an additional compatible audio source.
Dual Headphone Connections
Both common professional DJ headphone connections are provided:
6.3mm stereo jack
3.5mm stereo mini-jack
This makes it easier to use different DJ headphones without relying on an additional adapter.
Retractable Feet & Portable Design
Despite its substantial motorised platter system, the DJControl T10 weighs 7.3kg / 16.1lb.
Retractable feet help make the controller practical to transport and set up on different surfaces.
With its feet folded, the controller measures:
95 × 35.3 × 9.5cm (W × D × H)
including the height of the central platter spindles.
The Hercules DJControl T10 bridges the gap between traditional turntable performance and modern software DJing.
Its 10-inch motorised metal platters, real vinyl discs and Dr. Suzuki slipmats and slipsheets provide genuine physical feedback, while the Innofader-approved InduXfader gives scratch DJs extensive control over crossfader response.
Add Serato DJ Pro, Pitch ’n Time DJ, DJUCED PRO, Stems, Stem Slip, FX paddles, 16 RGB performance pads, dual USB-C and professional XLR/booth connectivity, and the T10 becomes a serious performance controller for DJs who want more physical interaction than a conventional static-platter controller provides.
