About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z1 MK2 is a DJ mix controller designed for use with Traktor software. It has a black tabletop form factor. The controller provides mixing controls with RCA outputs. It is made in Japan. Price: $220.00.
Our take
The Traktor Kontrol Z1 MK2 is a compact mixer that pairs well with Traktor. I appreciate the solid build and the smooth faders. However, it's just a mixer, so you'll need additional decks or controllers to play tracks. The RCA output is fine for basic setups, but I wish there were more connectivity options like XLR. For $220, it feels overpriced for what it offers, especially compared to full controllers. It's a niche product for minimalists or as an expansion, but not ideal as a standalone DJ solution.
