4MXControlPanel
4MXControlPanel is a device driver and control utility for Hercules audio interfaces, particularly the 4MX and related portable mixer models. It provides system-level configuration for audio inputs, outputs, gain staging, phantom power, and mixing controls on the connected Hercules hardware. The app sits in the system menu bar and allows users to adjust hardware settings without opening a full mixing application.

1 suggestionNo information is publicly available about whether Hercules has released a native Apple Silicon build of 4MXControlPanel. The bundle ID and naming suggest this is a device driver or control utility for Hercules audio hardware. If you rely on this utility, contact Hercules support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since an Intel-only build will stop working on that release. In the meantime, you can confirm whether a native version exists by opening System Settings → General → About on your Mac, checking your processor (Apple Silicon or Intel), and trying to launch the control panel — if it runs, it may already be universal. For alternative audio control options, check whether Hercules provides firmware updates that might eliminate the need for the control panel, or investigate whether your audio interface supports standard macOS audio controls without a proprietary utility.
