Why choose a portable DJ controller?

You can’t hold back—you want to DJ—but the cost of a huge DJ console makes you hold back. Or maybe you’re already a DJ but you’d love to get a console that’s light enough to carry. Well, say goodbye to lugging heavy decks and flight cases.

A portable DJ controller is what you’re looking for.

 

A controller you can take anywhere

When pros talk about DJ gear, they know size matters. A compact controller gives you everything you need in a lightweight form factor. It’s small enough to fit in a backpack—and light enough to comfortably carry.

Picture this: you’re getting ready for a party with your friends when you get an idea—you’ll create the ambiance. Don’t stuff a tangle of cables and decks into a colossal carrying case. Just slip your portable controller into your backpack.

You’ll be able to just take your controller out wherever you are, connect it to a smartphone or tablet, and you’re good to go. You don’t need much space either—a small coffee table, or even the corner of a bar will do.

 

Easier to use

Fast, simple setup

The DJControl Mix Ultra portable DJ controller gives you a revolutionary advantage: easier connections. This isn’t a traditional DJ setup with the typical proliferation of cables. A portable controller only needs one.

And once you connect the controller to your smartphone, it’s ready to use—no lengthy configuration processes or searching for drivers.

Gone are the days of having to set up a mixer with various settings, faders and inputs and outputs before you can start playing.

User-friendly interface

If you’ve ever worked through complex setups, you know that it’s stressful to use hardware through a poorly thought-out interface. The interface on a portable controller is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. You’ll know what each button does right away. You have all the essentials in a compact setup so you can focus on what matters—your mix.

 

A setup for getting started in DJing?

Why start DJing with a portable DJ controller?

If you’re new to the world of DJing, you can learn the basics on a portable controller without losing yourself in overly complex, expensive equipment. It’s much more affordable than a complete setup consisting of decks and a mixer, and you get professional quality equipment without breaking the bank.

We say again: this equipment is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, which makes it perfect for beginners.

Many beginners also want to learn at their own pace, at home or with friends. You’re not obliged to go to a studio or designated location, so you can learn in a comfortable, pressure-free environment. This helps you make progress faster. Practice whenever you feel like it, without wasting time installing or moving equipment.

Get ready to spread your wings

Beginners don’t usually know what style they’ll develop when they first start to DJ. You can go in many directions (house, EDM, scratch, beat juggling, techno, 
). A portable DJ controller lets you easily try different styles. You can start during evenings with friends and impromptu sessions at home, then bring the controller to larger events.

What’s more, portable DJ controllers let you work with various music genres and effortlessly try out effects and samples.
