DJing with time-code vinyl requires - a DJ software capable of time-code DJing as VirtualDJ Pro, Cross, and 2 time-code vinyl discs supported by the DJ software - 2 DJ turntables, - an DJ controller whose audio interface has 2 stereo inputs supporting phono level if the DJ turntables have a phono output level, for example a Hercules DJ Console Rmx2, 4-Mx, Rmx, Mk4 or Mk2.
Then you have 2 possible installations: - Either you use no analogue mixer: you then use the Hercules DJ Console mixer controls - Or you use an analogue mixer: you then use the mixer instead of the central controls of Hercules DJ Console.
A) With no analogue mixer - Connect the outputs of the turntables to Hercules DJConsole Rmx2 : - the turntable located on left on inputs 1-2 - the turntable located on right on inputs 3-4 - set the inputs on phono level if your turntables output is in phono level, - activates your inputs in your DJConsole Rmx2 control panel, - Connect the headphones on DJConsole Rmx2 headphones output plug, on front panel or on top panel, - Connect your speakers on DJ Console Rmx2 outputs 1-2 (dual XLR or dual RCA) - Play your time-code vinyl discs on your 2 turntables - Run your DJ software, and calibrate your inputs in time code vinyl mode - your turntable on left side now controls the left virtual deck, your turntable on the right side now controls the right-side virtual deck. The connections are as follows

Steve Sharp has posted a video explaining how he uses the rack mounting kit made for the original Hercules DJ Console Rmx to fix in a rack Hercules DJConsole Rmx2.
Adapting Rmx rack ears to Rmx2 requires adding 8 components (4 bolts + 4 washers) not included in the original rack mounting kit - 4 M4 bolts (they replace 4 M3 bolts of Rmx original rack mounting kit) with a length after the head not exceeding 8mm (so that the legth of bolt inside Rmx2 doesn't exceed 6mm) - 4 M4 washers (instead of 4 M3 washers of Rmx original rack mounting kit).
