About this product
The Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 is a 4-channel, 2-deck DJ controller from Native Instruments. It features 16 pads, 2 phono inputs, and a tabletop form factor with 1U rack height. Connectivity includes MIDI DIN in/out, USB, and 6.35mm TRS/TS inputs and outputs. The controller offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and is USB powered. Designed for DJs, it provides hands-on control over Traktor software, with built-in effects and dedicated controls for mixing and looping.
Our take
The Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 is a solid workhorse for anyone deeply invested in the Traktor ecosystem. The four channels and two decks give you plenty of room to mix, and the 16 pads are responsive for cue points and samples. I appreciate the full-size line inputs and the dedicated MIDI ports, which are rare on modern controllers. However, it's an older model—the MK3 has been out for a while—so expect some limitations in software integration compared to newer gear. The build is sturdy, but the USB bus power is a bit weak; it can struggle if you plug in power-hungry peripherals. Still, for the price, it's a capable controller that will serve intermediate DJs well.
