*Price Ranges in USD: 300:$ 300-500:$$ 500-1000:$$$ 1000-2000:$$$$ 2000+:$$$$$The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z2 has been around for a while now, but it still is a good solution for DVS DJ’s that want to use their trusted turntables with Traktor Pro.
The mixer is very well built and offers 4 deck control (on 2 channels). It also has 4 performance pads per channel, that can be used for Remix decks and to access hot cues.
A neat feature on the Z2 is the loop encoder with its loop size indicator LCD screen. I like that very much as it is quite important to keep track of your active loop sizes when engaging one, and this way you don’t have to look for that information on your computer screen.
