Hercules DJControl T10: 1st Controller With 10-inch Motorized Platters

Is bigger better? Hercules to debut the DJControl T10, the first DJ controller with 10-inch motorized platters – for under $1500.

NAMM is underway. While the big musical instrument event is heavily focused on guitars, drums and pro audio (just look at our feed for proof), the bigger DJ companies also come out to show off their latest and greatest. To wit: Hercules is there with a brand new controller, the DJControl T10.

The successor to the DJControl T7, the T10 also has motorized platters, but this time they’re (as the number designation suggests) 10 inches as opposed to the previous model’s seven. Ten inches is pretty big for a controller. In fact, these might just be the world’s biggest motorized DJ controller platters. Gwan, Hercules.
What Else Do We Know?
Other than the size of the platters (that matter), we know very little else about the DJControl T10. Hercules has a cropped teaser video on its Instagram and a TikTok account belonging to a store in Ecuador has the uncropped version. But it’s an all-black product on a black background, making it tough to make out.

Slipmats and Bag Bundled
According to an article on Bonedo (it’s in German, so turn on translation in your browser), the controller unlocks Serato DJ Pro and comes with Dr. SUZUKI slipmats and a UDG custom-designed bag. Being a Hercules controller, it also supports DJUCED.

But here’s what I can spy: it’s got eight pads per channel (I’m assuming this is a two-deck controller as it’s turntable-focused), what looks like three-band EQ, channel faders and a crossfader, pitch control for the platters, and platter control buttons.
“We are incredibly proud to take the brand a step further with this new vinyl experience,” said Jean Lacôte, Director of R&D, Product Development and Production at Hercules, according to the story. “The DJControl T10 reflects our commitment to thoughtful innovation, designed first and foremost to meet the expectations of DJs while remaining true to the essence of our identity.”
Pricing and Availability
Hercules is saying they’re going to deliver the DJControl T10 for “less than $1500” but how much less they haven’t said. There’s also no information on when this will be available. We have boots on the NAMM show floor, so hopefully we’ll get some more pics and info soon.
