Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra Portable Bluetooth DJ Controller

The DJControl Mix Ultra is the battery version of the phone-driven controller idea. A built-in rechargeable cell gives up to ten hours of playing time, and Bluetooth Low Energy handles the link to an iOS or Android device, so a set can happen anywhere the music is.

It carries a full 3-band EQ per deck rather than the single bass knob found on smaller units, and four pad modes covering Hot Cue, Loop, FX and Neural Mix, which isolates vocals, beats or instruments live. The protective cover doubles as a phone mount, so the setup is the controller plus a phone and nothing else. The djay app is included.
