The layout of the TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 is based on current industry standards and makes an optimal workflow possible. The generous controller interface provides faders, 3-band EQs and handy filter knobs for each channel.
The aluminum housing of the Native Instrument - TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 offers the highest quality workmanship. Precise knobs, buttons, push encoders and Innofaders™ provide accurate, intuitive control. The high-quality buttons provide the best visual feedback even in the darkest clubs.
The Z2's intuitive Macro FX lets you create expressive build-ups, breakdowns and more in the blink of an eye. Two Remix Deck channels are available for improvisation and live remixing. The eight color-coded trigger pads are used to control loops, samples and cue points, and the loop encoders are used for fine tuning. Active USB hubs allow you to connect multiple TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 and X1 controllers. This gives you more ports available on your laptop and expands its performance capabilities.
TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 provides seamless control of the included TRAKTOR PRO 3 DJ software, with up to four software decks, a customizable interface, and comprehensive track library management features that give you complete control over your music. Two timecode records & two timecode CDs are also included.
The low noise audio power supply and the built-in audio interface provide brilliant, powerful sound in 24-bit/48 kHz quality. Due to the extensive connection options, different DJ setups can be implemented. The Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 provides four analog inputs with phono and microphone preamps for connecting turntables, CDJs and other external hardware. The XLR/RCA master and ¼" booth outputs allow the DJ mixer/controller to be connected to any main or booth sound system.

Well built external soundcard, traktor controller, phono/CDJ/digital interface. Provided with timecoded vinyl and Cds. I only got one crash with traktor and I wish the digital routing (especially external INs) was more flexible.
In short, a very good piece of hardware, maybe just a tad overpriced.
An absolute joy to mix with. I haven't mixed so much for ages, everyday I look at it and have to switch it on and have a quick mix which ends up lasting hours.
Rugged design, top notch faders and cool intergrated features. Actually it has nothing less compared to the Rane - Serato combo so its a money saver too. Touring artists will love it. A nice - handy addition to any studio and a good buy for every scratch dj.
I’ve been using Traktor some some time with various controllers and recently went back to scratch. The Z2 is perfect for this while still allowing you to utilise 4 decks. It has everything you need right in front of you. Effectively an X1, stripper down F1 and mixer/audio interface. And only one usb cable required to your computer.
If you use Traktor as DVS this should be the mixer you go for
