A Strategic 2-Channel Controller at the Heart of the Traktor Ecosystem

Features and Innovations
Beyond 2-channel control, the MX2 is a true performance platform. The 16 RGB pads trigger hotcues, flux loops, stems, and patterns with exemplary responsiveness. iZotope's stem separation isolates vocals, drums, bass, and instruments in real time, opening the door to instant mashups. High-resolution jog wheels (turntable and jog modes) ensure surgical precision, while the 3-band EQ, VU meters, and smooth crossfader facilitate seamless transitions.
On the audio side, the integrated 24-bit / 96 kHz interface guarantees clean reproduction on PA systems and headphones alike. Connectivity covers essentials for mobile DJs: Master outputs in RCA and mini-jack, dual headphone outputs (3.5 mm / 6.35 mm), microphone input. The USB-C port stabilizes the connection with the computer, and the MIDI layer extends compatibility to third-party software via tailored mapping.
