The DJ Control Air’s contactless sensor lets you control the sound of your music without having to touch the controller. It cleverly converts the distance between your hand and the controller into a command to control the music. Even better, it doesn’t matter how light or dark it is, as it works the same in any light conditions.

The life of a DJ is fast-paced. Whether you’re a radio DJ, mobile, wedding, or club DJ, one thing we all have in common is our on-the-go lifestyle. We also know that practice and preparation are the keys to delivering a perfect DJ set. From hopping on a plane to go across the country or hopping on a train to go one state over, some of the newest compact and portable controllers make it easier for DJs to prep a set and even practice mixing on the road.
Today we are taking a look at two great travel controllers for DJs: the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch and the Hercules DJControl Starlight. Keep reading to see a few pros and cons of both, and let us know which controller is your choice.
The Numark DJ2GO2 Touch is the latest version of the DJ2GO2 first debuted in 2017. This pocket-sized controller is not only portable, but it comes equipped with Serato DJ Lite for Mac and PC. DJs can easily map the DJ2GO2 Touch with other popular DJ software or upgrade to Serato DJ Pro when ready. Plus, this controller has a built-in sound card so speakers aren’t required.
New to the Touch model are capacitive touch jog wheels. This feature gives DJs the option to practice scratching from virtually anywhere. The controller also comes with a USB cable, a quick start guide, and a 1/8” to RCA cable.
