    The new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3 is the latest entry-level controller for the new Traktor Pro 3 software.
    The Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3 has an excellent price, comes bundled with Traktor Pro 3, and has a compact footprint to fit into most DJ booths and tight spaces.
    The S2 MK3 also has bigger jog wheels and better RBG backlit performance pads than the last version of this compact controller.
    The S2 MK3 does not have great build quality when compared to the S4 MK3 or the older S2 MK2. To see more pro's and con's of the Traktor S2 MK3, check out our review at djbooth.net/pro-audio.

    At last! An honest description of the mk3! I switched from my old mk2 and was soooo disappointed by the cheap built quality and low output volume of the mk3. All the other reviewers seem to not talk about these important issues. So, thanks again for an honest, spot on review.

      Thanks! I like the MK2 better than the Mk3 honestly...

    Just a suggestion for a potential new video: why not doing a couple of simple mixes comparing the two units?

    I still prefer the previous model. All the effects are missing here, and nothing is better than before. I did not like this move by Native after so many years. The real upgrade is to buy the new s4, otherwise for those who already have the s2 mk2 I don't recommend to buy the new one. Cheers man 👍

      I also agree. As much as i love the idea, i would have preferred a 399.99 price tag with higher build quality, fx section, and some pad fx for both the new s2 and s4. Otherwise, the new units look pretty decent. The s4 looks excellent though.

    The build quality is probably lacking compared to the S4 mk3 because the S4 is almost 4 times the price!

    It is cheaper that the mk2 in terms of built quality , the latency is worst also , I burnt out the stock crossfader in about 2months of scratching , replaced it with an innofader

    Hi nice review ! Question how do we resolve the low headphone issue of the mk3 version ? I read somewhere that by using the charger volume is increased significantly ... is that correct ? Thanks ! Philippe

      Yes, it comes with TP3 and it has limited stems control... Only 4 banks for the pads...

    you've lost me with "mp3". Someone who plays mp3 has no clue about DJing and who has no clue can't make a trustworthy review on DJ equipment. Sorry, but there is a reason why some DJ softwares don't support MP3
