About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK2 is a 2-channel, 2-deck DJ controller in a tabletop form factor. It features 16 backlit RGB pads, a built-in sound card with USB interface and 6.35mm TRS/TS inputs. It has 1 phono and 1 line input, and samples at 24-bit/96kHz. Made in China, this black controller is priced at $99.00. It includes features like backlit RGB buttons for visual feedback.
Our take
At $99, the S2 MK2 is a steal for a used Traktor controller. The 24-bit/96kHz audio quality is excellent, and the backlit RGB pads are responsive. It has a solid built-in sound card and enough inputs for basic setups. However, being the MK2, it lacks the built-in phono preamp of the MK3, so you'll need an external preamp for turntables. Also, it's made in China, which might affect long-term build quality compared to Japanese-made units. Still, for the price, it's fantastic value.
