Native Instruments Traktor Z1 MK2 DJ Mixing Controller and Soundcard

The Native Instruments Traktor Z1 MK2 is a compact mixer controller and audio interface designed to provide intuitive control over Traktor software across up to four decks. It is perfect for beginner DJs who want to master the basics while having the potential to expand their skills. At the same time, it is an excellent choice for experienced DJs seeking a portable and adaptable setup for performances in various environments, with the flexibility to integrate additional modular controllers as required.

The controller features a straightforward layout with two-channel volume sliders, a crossfader, switchable EQ and stem controls, mixer effect controls, and a pre-listening section. It comes with the full version of Traktor Pro 4 software included. Three OLED displays provide clear, essential mixing information at a glance. The stem control layer allows for precise adjustments to individual stem volumes, while the Mixer FX section offers intuitive, one-knob control over nine effects, such as filter, reverb, delay, and gater.

The dual-layer functionality enables control of up to four channels. The design has been sleekly updated, featuring a transparent undershell with functional lighting. Users can easily customise controls and LED colours to suit their preferences. An additional MIDI layer ensures compatibility with third-party software, and a high-quality 24-bit/96kHz audio interface guarantees top-notch sound.

The plug-and-play connectivity ensures a quick setup, and a mini-jack connector offers the flexibility to connect to a variety of speakers for the main output signal. There is also a headphone output for pre-listening. You can use this device on its own or expand your setup with additional modular controllers like the Traktor X1 and F1.
