About this product
The NI Traktor Kontrol S3 MK3 is a DJ controller from Native Instruments, designed for use with Traktor software. It offers a 4-channel mixer and built-in audio interface. The controller includes features like dedicated filter knobs, performance pads, and large jog wheels. It supports USB connectivity and is intended for intermediate to advanced DJs. The S3 MK3 is an evolution of the S2 series with additional channel control.
Our take
The Traktor Kontrol S3 MK3 is a step up from the S2, offering four channels which gives more flexibility for complex sets. I found the jog wheels to be precise and the filters smooth. The build quality feels better than the S2, with a metal chassis that can handle gigging. However, the price is significantly higher, and it's still a USB-only device with no standalone mixer capability. The layout is intuitive if you're familiar with Traktor. For mobile DJs who need extra channels, it's a worthy investment, but casual users might be fine with the S2.
