The Native Instruments Traktor Z1 MK2 is a compact mixer controller and audio interface built to deliver hands-on control of Traktor software, supporting up to four decks. It’s an ideal entry point for beginner DJs learning the fundamentals, while also offering enough flexibility for seasoned DJs looking for a portable, performance-ready solution. Its modular design makes it easy to expand with other controllers as needed.

The Z1 MK2 features a clean, intuitive interface that includes two channel volume faders, a crossfader, switchable EQ/stem controls, mixer effects, and a cue section for headphone monitoring. It comes bundled with the full version of Traktor Pro 4 software. Three crisp OLED displays provide essential visual feedback for mixing. The stem layer allows for fine-tuned control of individual audio stems, while the Mixer FX section offers one-touch access to nine effects including filter, reverb, delay, and gater.

Dual-layer functionality lets users manage up to four channels with ease. The design has been modernised with a sleek, transparent bottom shell and integrated lighting. Controls and LED colours are fully customisable to suit personal workflows. An added MIDI layer ensures compatibility with third-party software, while the integrated 24-bit/96kHz audio interface delivers professional-grade sound quality.

With plug-and-play setup, the Z1 MK2 connects quickly and easily. It features a mini-jack main output for flexible speaker connections and a dedicated headphone output for cueing. Whether used on its own or paired with additional Traktor gear like the X1 or F1, the Z1 MK2 offers a versatile and powerful solution for DJs on the go.
