About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 is a 4-channel DJ controller with a built-in mixer and dual screens for track browsing. It features 16 performance pads, two mic inputs, four phono and four line inputs, and a comprehensive FX suite. Designed for Traktor Pro, it includes RGB backlit buttons and jog wheel illumination. Priced at $500.00, it offers advanced control for Traktor users.
Our take
The S8 is a Traktor powerhouse. The dual screens are a game-changer for browsing tracks without looking at your laptop. The 16 pads are fully customizable, and the FX section is deep. Build quality is robust with metal construction. The downside is it's Traktor-only, so no Serato or rekordbox compatibility. Also, it's bulky and heavy - not ideal for frequent travel. At $500 used, it's a great value if you're committed to the Traktor ecosystem.
