What Heppened to Z2?

Emsi

I can't find any official announcement but Z2 is no more...

What is its status? Is there any successor?

The Z2 was quietly retired about a year ago I believe. No successor available.

Emsi

I'm not impressed by NI depreciation policy :(

To be fair, it's still a solid mixer and DVS integration is spot on. There's plenty of room for improvement for the Traktor community but I still use mine at home quite a bit.

Emsi

Yeah, that's why I was about to get it but it's not available :(. Now I don't know whether I should wait for a successor or get one from competition.

I need something small to use in my home with two phono inputs and USB with sound interface so I can play form my ipad as well as technics.

I guess/hope new replacement will come soon...

Maybe a xone 23c? Or why not buy a used Z2?

Can't find used atm. Plus used has some risks attached...

I'll look into xone 23c, thank you. At first glance the construction looks a bit dated. Do you know by chance if it works with djay on iPad without any quirks?

You can get one for less than 300€ @ reverb:

NI liquidated their stock via their reverb store a few months back. They sold em in brand new condition for $300, which brought the prices on the used market down to $150-250.

Thanks. It's actually refurbished from NI with 24 m warranty etc. so I gave it a go.
