About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z2 is a 2+2 channel DJ mixer/controller with both analog and digital connectivity.

Our take
The Traktor Kontrol Z2 is a versatile mixer/controller that bridges analog and digital worlds. The 2+2 channels allow mixing two turntables with digital decks, and the flux mode is great for on-the-fly edits. Build quality is solid, and the LED meters are helpful. However, at 48 kHz, the audio resolution isn't as high as some competitors, and the lack of warranty is concerning for this price. It's a good choice for hybrid DJs who want tactile control with DVS support.
