ProX XS-HI500 LT: Glide-Shelf Flight Case for Hercules Inpulse 500 — Chicago Mobile DJ Ready
Built for controller-forward DJs who move fast, the ProX XS-HI500 LT protects your Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 and streamlines set changes with a glide sliding laptop shelf. The Gig-Ready™ 3/8" plywood shell, heavy steel ball corners, and recessed, spring-loaded handles/latches absorb the grind of transport while keeping your rig camera-clean for weddings, corporate AV, and club takeovers.
Inside, high-density foam inserts let you dial a snug, customized cradle around the controller. Removable front and back panels preserve immediate access to headphone/mic jacks, knobs, and rear I/O. Outside, the Honeycomb Digital™ laminate helps resist minor to mild scratches, staying pro under uplights and social feeds.
Real-world applications & roles: mobile wedding DJ systems, Chicago ballroom turnovers, bar/club residencies, DJ/MC hosting, controller-centric remix sets, rental fleet duty.

Everyday Protection Surface
Honeycomb Digital™ laminate adds a textured, professional finish that helps resist minor to mild scratches across the case’s working life.
Eco-Forward Foam Initiative
Durable hard rubber foam uses up to 85% recycled content (with a majority from recycled plastic bottles plus post-industrial material), supporting lower-impact builds while protecting your deck.
Packout Fit Reference
Interior fit baseline: up to 26.75" maximum width × 13.5" depth, with approximately 3" additional space allocated for cable management.
How to Deploy the ProX XS-HI500 LT in the Field
Stage the case on a stable table or riser. Release the recessed latches and remove the front and back panels for immediate control access. Slide the glide shelf to a comfortable viewing height, then route power and audio through the rear/under-deck space and the cable access port for a clean top deck. Use the foam inserts to finalize a snug cradle around the Inpulse 500. On strike, coil and stow lines behind/under the deck, secure the panels, and you’re rolling.
Field tip: Pre-route mains/booth lines through the cable port so the controller docks and powers in under a minute—perfect for Chicago ballroom turnovers.
Safety: Do not transport the case with devices on the sliding shelf; the shelf can be removed when fully extended.
