About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Z1 MK2 is an ultra-compact DJ mixer, the second generation of the Z1 line. It features a sleek black design and updated hardware for improved performance. As a mixer-only controller, it provides high-quality audio output and seamless integration with Traktor software. It is designed for portability and ease of use, with essential controls for volume, EQ, and crossfader. The MK2 version offers enhanced connectivity and sound quality over the original.
Our take
I've been using the Traktor Z1 MK2 for mobile gigs, and it's a great companion for a laptop-based setup. The build feels more premium than the MK1, with a solid metal chassis and smoother faders. Sound quality is clean, and the audio interface works flawlessly. However, it's still just a mixer—no effects, no pads. If you're using a separate controller for decks, this is perfect, but as a standalone it's limiting. The price is a bit steep for what you get, but for Traktor users who prioritize portability, it's worth considering.
