About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z1 DJ Mixer Controller in black, tested and working with USB audio. This compact mixer features volume faders, EQ controls, and a crossfader, designed for use with Traktor software. It is USB powered and portable, making it suitable for mobile DJing. This unit is identical to the other Z1 listing but at a different price point, offering a simple and effective mixing solution for beginners or as a backup.
Our take
This Z1 is a basic but functional mixer. It does exactly what it says: mixes audio from two decks. The USB audio is handy, and it works right out of the box with Traktor. The build is okay, but it feels a bit flimsy. For $100, it's a decent deal if you need a small mixer for practice or backup. However, there are more feature-rich controllers at this price point. If you're just starting and want to keep it simple, this works. Just don't expect to do any scratching or effects without additional gear.
