About this product
The Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is a 2-channel DJ controller with 16 pads, designed for use with TRAKTOR software. It features single mic and phono inputs, making it suitable for basic mixing with turntables or microphones. The controller is lightweight and compact, ideal for mobile DJs or beginners. Priced at $250.00, it offers an affordable entry into the Traktor ecosystem.
Our take
The TRAKTOR S2 is a nice entry-level controller that integrates seamlessly with Traktor software. The 16 pads are responsive for hot cues and loops, and the two-deck layout keeps things simple. The single phono input allows one turntable, which is limiting for vinyl mixing. Build quality is decent plastic, but it feels fragile. At $250, it's a fair price for beginners, but the lack of balanced outputs and limited inputs may frustrate as you outgrow it. It's a great starter, but not for pro use.
