Need a unit that performs just as well in a club environment as it does at home? The S3's in-built 24-bit soundcard provides impressive sound quality, whilst its XLR main outputs ensure a balanced, clean signal, vital for high-quality sound on club sound systems. With an additional XLR mic input, RCA aux input and booth output, it has all the connectivity you need for a club setting.

The Traktor S3 boasts large-size and responsive jog wheels with handy jog wheel illumination allowing you to mix with razor-sharp precision. Its 16 performance pads are the same size as the rest of the Traktor Kontrol range and are lit with RGB colours, making it easy and intuitive to navigate hot cues, loops, stems and samples. The 3-band EQs maintain the high-quality EQ modelling of high-end club-standard mixers, whilst its good-size pitch faders allow for precision & ultimate control when mixing tracks into each other.

Mixer FX is a fantastic new feature to Traktor Pro 3. The S3 features 8 FX & 3 filter types which can be assigned to each channel.
