Product Overview
Double the Decks, Double the Freedom
The Traktor Kontrol S3 is engineered to fill the gap between entry-level 2-channel controllers and high-end flagship models. It provides a full-sized 4-channel mixing experience that allows DJs to take their performances to the next level. By moving to a 4-deck workflow, you can keep a "wildcard" track ready, layer complex drum patterns, or launch one-shot samples without sacrificing your primary mix channels. It is a true plug-and-play solution that works perfectly with macOS, Windows, and iPad.
Product Description
Professional Club-Standard Layout:
The S3 features an intuitive, uncluttered design that mirrors the setups found in world-class DJ booths. The identical deck sections include extra-long pitch faders for ultra-precise beatmatching and 14cm touch-sensitive jog wheels. These jog wheels are surrounded by illuminated RGB rings that provide instant visual feedback on deck selection, track progress, and end-of-track warnings, so you can keep your focus away from the laptop.
Dynamic Performance Tools:
With 8 RGB pads per deck, the S3 allows you to punch in Hotcues, trigger loops, and launch samples from Remix Decks on the fly. The mixer section is equipped with dedicated Mixer FX—one-touch effects and filters that can be assigned to each channel for dramatic build-ups and smooth transitions. Combined with the power of Traktor Pro 4, you have access to over 40 beat-synced effects and advanced stem separation technology.
High-Fidelity Connectivity:
Built for the road and the club, the S3 houses a 24-bit audio interface that delivers punchy, pristine sound with high dynamic range. It is equipped with professional XLR and RCA main outputs, a dedicated 1/4" TRS booth output, and dual headphone jacks (3.5mm and 6.3mm). Additionally, it features a combo XLR/TRS mic input and an auxiliary RCA input for integrating external media players or vocalists into your set.
