Hi every all,
i've bought Hercules dj control mix and I need a tip about which power bank (brand and type) purchase.
Thank's all
Hello Alegia,
Any power bank with a USB type A connector works, but there are 2 possible issues:
1) power bank switching off automatically
Many power banks switch off automatically (in power saving mode) if the connected device does not draw much power (and DJControl Control Mix does not draw much power): a simple solution consists in pressing twice on the power button of the bank, to prevent the power bank from switching off automatically.
It is explained in Hercules user manual:
https://ts.hercules.com/download/sound/manuals/DJC_Mix/User_Manuals/DJControl_Mix_user_manual_EN.pdf#page=46
"If you are using an external battery, press the external battery’s power button twice."
and in power bank manufacturers user manuals
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/content/en-us00748017/
"Double-press the button to enter low-current charging mode. The power bank indicators will then keep blinking in turn like a scrolling marquee. In this mode, the power bank can charge low-power devices, such as a band or Bluetooth earphones. To exit low-current charging mode, press the button again."
and on retailers FAQ
https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx2R4RTUM0S9PZR/ref=ask_ql_ql_al_hza
"Double click will activate endless mode.
In this mode, the power bank will let devices use the power bank with out it shutting off from inactivity."
2) touch detection on DJControl Mix not working when DJControl Mix is powered by some power banks
Touch detection uses the power source ground and if the power source is too weakly grounded, it prevent the touch detection from working. A solution consist, on such power banks, in placing the power bank in your pocked, so that the power bank get the grounding of the user.
