Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S3 with Mackie CR4 Monitors

Full Description

Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S3

Large and tactile jog wheels

Take control of your mix with two large jog wheels. These 5.5" jog wheels help you mix with precision thanks to their very tactile feedback. These decks make up the central focus of the four-channel club-standard layout with identical deck design. This also includes 4-channel mixer, long pitch faders, and dual deck control - meaning you've never been so close to the mix. And if that's not enough - the jog wheels also illuminate to give you visual feedback, for example on the deck selection.

Shape your sound to perfection

All the best mixers feature equalisation of some sort. The S3 comes with three-band EQs - these allow you to shape your sound when mixing in tunes. Whether that's dropping out the bass when another tracks kick comes in or filtering out the highs before a drop. The responsive and tactile controls mean you can rely on the accuracy of Traktor's EQ system.

Amazing effects

To get most out of your DJ performances you can use effects to add flair to your sets. These effects range from echo, reverb, filtering, and beat-skips - all provided from the Traktor software. These effects are triggered using the instant one-knob FX and filter control. This gives you the response you need to dial in effects perfectly. You can choose from eight FX and three filter types - meaning you'll never be stuck for choice.

Trigger hotcues and more

By using the 16 RGB pads on the front of the unit - can trigger one-shots, loops, samples. These tough pads add a nice performative edge to your DJ sets. They can also be used to trigger hotcues - meaning you can quickly jump between parts of a track to mix in different parts at will.

Mackie CR4 Multimedia Monitors

Optimised for convenience

Designed and manufactured with high performance and convenience in mind Mackie have added a range of unique features to maximize your work flow by providing simplistic control and functionality. For example the inclusion of a back-lit rotary volume control and left/right switch to the rear of the unit to allows you to set up the Mackie CR4's to your desired positions and then select which side the powered volume control speaker will be designated to thus resolving the tedious issue of reaching across a desk to adjust the monitor level.

Versatile connectivity - auxiliary input and headphone output

Featuring both a headphone output and auxiliary input the Mackie CR4 gives you the ability to plug your headphones directly into the front of the speakers to reference the sound of your mix in another source whilst cancelling out the output from the speakers to allow for silent operation. The ability to play music through the CR4's through an auxiliary cable is another extremely useful feature whether for creating multi-media and checking your mix against a commercially recorded track or just to listen to your favourite songs with the natural responsive tonality intended.
