About this product

Our take
I've been using the S2 MK3 for a few months now, and it's a fantastic all-in-one solution for DJing with Traktor. The built-in sound card means I don't need extra audio gear, and the 16 pads are great for triggering cues and loops. Over 40 effects give plenty of creative options. The build feels solid, and the layout is intuitive. One downside: the maximum sampling rate is 24-bit/48kHz, which is fine for most use but not top-tier for audiophiles. Also, the phono input allows vinyl connection, which is a nice touch. If you're serious about Traktor, the S2 MK3 is a reliable, feature-packed controller. Just note it's a 2-channel unit, so if you need more decks, look at the S4.
