About this product
Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK1 DJ controller in black. This single-deck controller features MIDI DIN input, built-in effects, and comes with a protective case and headphones. It has been tested for functionality. The unit is manufactured in Japan, making it an older model from the Traktor line. The included case offers convenience for transport and storage, making it a suitable option for DJs seeking a complete starter setup for Traktor software.
Our take
Picking up an S4 MK1 is a trip down memory lane. It's classic Traktor with that solid, club-ready feel and built-in effects that still sound good. The included case and headphones are nice bonuses, and the unit I received was tested and works fine. But be aware: the software integration is dated—the MK1 doesn't support all the latest Traktor Pro features, and you'll need to hunt for drivers. The single-deck controller layout is limiting compared to modern 4-channel gear, and the plastic jog wheels feel a bit rough after years of use. For a beginner on a budget, it's a decent entry point, but serious DJs will want something newer.
