Hercules has officially launched the DJControl T10, a two-channel DJ controller built around a pair of 10-inch motorised platters.
First shown in prototype form at NAMM 2026, the T10 is Hercules’ new flagship controller, aimed mostly at scratch, battle and open-format DJs who want a more turntable-like feel from a controller setup.
The 10-inch platters are the headline feature, using removable vinyl records with a motorised belt-drive system. They’re considerably larger than the 7-inch platters on Hercules’ DJControl Inpulse T7, giving the T10 a much closer physical resemblance to a traditional turntable setup.
Built around scratching and performance
The central mixer introduces Hercules’ new InduXfader, a contactless crossfader that uses electromagnetic induction to track its position. DJs can adjust the curve, cut-lag, direction and physical resistance to suit different mixing and scratching styles.
Each deck also has eight RGB performance pads, dedicated stems controls and FX paddles for quickly bringing effects in and out.
Another notable addition is Stem Slip, a new Serato-powered feature that allows Slip mode to be applied to an individual stem rather than the entire track.
This means a DJ could scratch or manipulate a vocal while the rest of the track continues playing underneath. Once released, the vocal returns to the position it would have reached had it continued playing normally.
The T10 also includes adjustable Slip Release controls, allowing DJs to change how quickly the affected stem returns.
Software and connectivity
The DJControl T10 comes with licences for both Serato DJ Pro and Hercules’ DJUCED PRO, with Serato’s Pitch ’n Time DJ expansion also included.
Two USB-C computer connections are built in, with a USB 1/2 selector for each mixer channel. This allows two laptops to remain connected at the same time, useful for DJ changeovers or back-to-back sets without having to disconnect the main computer.
For audio connections, the T10 provides balanced XLR master outputs, allowing it to connect directly to professional sound systems. There are also balanced 1/4-inch booth outputs, RCA master and auxiliary connections, a microphone input and separate 1/4-inch and 3.5mm headphone outputs.

Pricing and availability
The Hercules DJControl T10 is priced at US$1,399.99 / £1,199.99 / €1,299.99, with availability beginning across different markets from late September and into October.
A separate Gig Pack is also available, bundling the controller with a custom UDG backpack designed to carry the T10 and a laptop up to 17 inches.
At US$1,400, the T10 represents a significant step above Hercules’ Inpulse range and sits just 200 bucks below the Rane ONE MKII, a high-end scratch controller with direct-drive motorised platters. That could make the T10 a tougher sell for some DJs, although its larger 10-inch platters give it a clear point of difference.
