The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3 is a two-deck DJ controller built for DJs who prefer the Traktor Pro software ecosystem and want a streamlined, portable setup. It ships with a full version of Traktor Pro 3 included, providing complete professional DJ software out of the box without additional licensing costs. The jog wheels are touch-sensitive and large enough for comfortable scratching, with a satisfying weight that conveys quality during use. The mixer section features three-band EQ, dedicated filter knobs, and gain controls per channel, along with a built-in audio interface that delivers crisp 24-bit audio with low latency. The controller includes a microphone input with dedicated level control, making it practical for mobile DJs and event hosts. RGB-backlit performance pads provide access to hot cues, flux mode, and loop functions with clear visual feedback in dim environments. The compact footprint and relatively light weight make it easy to transport to gigs. Build quality is solid, with a metal faceplate and responsive controls that feel professional. The S2 MK3 is an excellent option for DJs who are committed to the Traktor platform and want a reliable, no-fuss controller for small to medium events. The two-deck limitation means DJs who need four-deck mixing will need to step up to the S4 model.
