  Everything you need to perform in front of an audience: professional-grade connectors, performance modes, and intuitive controls.

  Large, high-definition jog wheels with easy-grip rings deliver accurate control. Enjoy top-tier sound thanks to the built-in audio interface powered by advanced VELVET SOUND digital signal processing.

  Visual aids help you beatmatch and mix with confidence—even during live performances.

Smooth, Creative Transitions

Take full control with the dedicated Filter/FX section. Customize your transitions using software effects in Serato DJ or DJUCED—or layer a filter with an effect in DJUCED for even more originality.

Built-In Hardware Input Mixer

Add external sources like a smartphone, media player, or wireless mic receiver via 1/8″ (3.5 mm) or dual RCA inputs. Use the AUX FILTER knob to apply a filter effect—independent of your DJ software.

Elevate Your Setup

Retractable feet lift the controller up to 3.1” (8 cm), giving you space to route cables underneath and protect your gear from accidental spills. A backlit base adds a stylish touch when the feet are extended.

Plug-and-Play Connectivity

Powered via USB, the Inpulse 500 includes all the outputs you need:

• Master out: 2 x 1/4” (6.35 mm) jack + 2 x RCA

• Headphones: 1/8” (3.5 mm) mini-jack + 1/4” (6.35 mm) stereo jack

Manual Beatmatching Made Easy

BEATMATCH GUIDE light indicators help you sync your tracks manually—a perfect learning tool available in both Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED.

Mic Connectivity Without the Software

Plug in a microphone using the balanced input, then tweak your sound with onboard High and Low EQ knobs—even without launching your DJ software.

Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA)

DJUCED’s IMA suggests tracks from your library and Beatport LINK (subscription required) to keep your set flowing.
In Serato DJ Lite, enable the Assistant to launch Autoplay for uninterrupted sets.

Customizable Crossfader

Tune the crossfader to match your style: select between mix, scratch, or off using the onboard curve switch.
