About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 is a 2-channel DJ controller in black with a tabletop form factor. It features 16 backlit RGB pads, a microphone input, and a filter effect. This unit has 2 decks, 16 pads, and a 24-bit/96kHz sampling rate. It includes phono and line inputs, USB connectivity, and a 1U rack height. Priced at $125, it's a budget-friendly option for entry-level Traktor users.
Our take
For $125, this Traktor Kontrol S2 is a steal. It's a basic 2-channel controller with 16 pads for triggering loops and samples. The backlit pads are a nice touch, and the built-in filter adds some flavor. However, it only has one phono and one line input, so connecting multiple sources is tight. The plastic build feels a bit light, but it's fine for bedroom mixing. Sound quality is decent at 96kHz, and Traktor integration is seamless. If you're starting out or need a compact backup, this works, but don't expect premium build.
