Rennes, November 15th, 2023 - Armed with 40 years of extensive experience in the world of audio and interactive entertainment, and more than 20 years in the DJ industry, French hardware manufacturer Hercules is thrilled to launch a brand-new line of products specifically designed with livestreamers in mind: the Hercules Stream. Two audio controllers in the Hercules Stream range have been developed by streamers for streamers, aimed at alleviating a major challenge that many creators encounter when live streaming - managing your audio.

HERCULES STREAM: SEE YOUR SOUND!

With the Hercules Stream 100 and Hercules Stream 200 XLR audio controllers, streamers can now easily control and master all aspects of their audio with just a quick glance and ways to easily edit right at their fingertips.
