About this product

It has 1 microphone input, 1 phono input, and 1 line input. The controller includes autoloop and over 40 deck effects. It samples at 24-bit/48kHz and connects via USB. Priced at $399.99, this model is manufactured by Native Instruments.
Our take
The S2 MK3 is a solid upgrade from the MK2. The built-in sound card and phono preamp simplify setup, and the 16 RGB pads respond well. Over 40 effects give plenty of room for creativity. At $399.99, it's pricier than the MK2 but adds useful features like autoloop. However, the 48kHz sampling rate feels a bit dated compared to competitors offering 96kHz. Also, only one mic input may limit vocal setups. Overall, it's a reliable controller for Traktor users who want a compact all-in-one.
