About this product
The NI Traktor Kontrol S8 is a professional 4-channel DJ controller with a 4-deck layout, 16 performance pads, and multiple inputs (4 line, 4 phono, 2 mic). It comes with a flight case, making it ideal for touring DJs. This Native Instruments controller integrates deeply with Traktor software, offering hands-on control over mixing, effects, and loops. At $650, it’s a premium option for serious performers.
Our take
The Traktor Kontrol S8 is a beast. With 4 decks and 16 pads, you can do serious live remixing. The build is top-notch—metal chassis, responsive faders, and the included flight case is a bonus for transport. I love the dual mic inputs for MCs. However, it’s big and heavy; not for small setups. The price is steep but justified for the features. Setup with Traktor is straightforward, but you’re locked into Native Instruments’ ecosystem. If you’re a professional gigging DJ, this is a solid investment.
