Outputs are RCA and XLR for main, and 1/4″ jack for Booth.
Inputs are limited to a single Aux, which allows you to plug in a Mic and/or a Line In – that’s it. Note that there are no phono / line inputs here since it’s not a standalone mixer.Īround the back is where we see the big changes. The Traktor Kontrol S5 has Master and Booth outputs, along with Mic and Aux inputs. Overall the layout does appear more conventional – minus the jogwheels and plus the screens, of course. The selector buttons for the performance pads have moved into a more usual position above the pads. It’s certainly not quite as scary looking as the S8, dropping the four mini-faders per deck, as well as the second sets of FX / further controls.
It takes a little bit of checking around to realise its ambitions are more aligned with the S2 (ie it’s basically a self-contained software controller, not the potential centre of a DJing “hub”). How does it sit in the new line of controllers from NI?Īctually, on first impression the Kontrol S5 looks a bit like the S4, being the same size, having four sets of channel controls, and pretty much the same form factor. First Impressions / Setting up We take a look at Native Instruments’ latest offering, the Traktor Kontrol S5.
