About this product
The DJ Controller Traktor Kontrol S2 by Native Instruments is a double deck controller with 2 channels, 16 pads, and a built-in mixer and sound card. It features 1 mic input, 1 phono input, 1 line input, and XLR output. The 24-bit/96kHz audio quality and USB power make it portable. With 1U rack height, it's suitable for tabletop use.
Our take
I picked up this S2 for its portability and built-in sound card. The 96kHz audio output is crisp, and the XLR out is a nice bonus for connecting to club systems. The 16 pads are great for triggering loops and cues. However, with only one line and one phono input, you're limited to two sources plus a mic. It's USB powered, so no extra power supply needed, which is convenient. The build is decent, though the plastic feel isn't premium. For $250, it's a good all-in-one controller for mobile DJs.
