About this product

Our take
For $300, the S4 MK1 is a budget-friendly entry into Traktor. The 4 channels and 16 pads are great for the price. Effects like reverb and flanger add versatility. However, this is an older model with USB-only I/O, no XLR or balanced outputs. Expect plastic build and possibly worn pads. It's USB-powered, limiting headroom. If you're starting out or need a backup, it's fine. But modern controllers offer more for not much more money.
