The filter knob is huge, and really stands out on the unit’s face I’m definitely a fan of giant filters.
The crossfader is buttery smooth, while a more conscious effort is required to adjust the channel faders. Made to sit comfortably in the place of any 10-inch mixer, the Kontrol Z2 is a bulky beast, but no more so than your average DJ mixer. Most of the controllers produced by Native Instruments have a slim profile that sits low to the table – not so with the Kontrol Z2. While the overall build quality and aesthetic of the Kontrol Z2 may be consistent with other members of the Kontrol family, the form factor certainly is not.

The Kontrol Z2 is not just a controller-soundcard combo but operates as a dedicated hardware mixer, as integrated as any product in the Kontrol series but as flexible as many third-party mixers on the market today. Somewhere in the middle lies the Traktor Kontrol Z2: a unit with considerable heft whose functions are, like the Kontrol Z1, dedicated to mixing but with vastly expanded capabilities. Over the past few years, Native Instruments has slowly built a robust arsenal of performance-minded hardware for the modern digital DJ, offering a variety of feature sets from the fully-stocked monolith of the Traktor Kontrol S4 to the one-controller-one-function DJ tool that is the Traktor Kontrol F1.
