Traktor S2 MK3 signal is too low

bwschaap66

The coming out signal from my S2 MK3 is to low and much lower then the older mk1. It is so low that in a club all the amplifiers almost goes in clipping mode because the S2 gives to low signal. Is it possible to solve this problem by an upgrade or something like that. A friend of my was playing with a pioneer ddj sb2 and that was much better(louder) signal. Or must I sell it and buy an other controller? I heard the S3 MK3 also have this problem.

Hey there - Sorry to hear you've been experiencing this!

The S2 MK3 and S3 are in fact slightly less loud than the S4 MK3. You can compare the Audio Output levels in the specs here:

• https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-controllers/traktor-kontrol-s2/specifications/
• https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-controllers/traktor-kontrol-s3/specifications/
• https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-controllers/traktor-kontrol-s4/specifications/

What we generally recommend if you're experiencing this issue is to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in. This will make your device slightly more loud, and the lights more bright.

Oke I didn't read the specs good. But the signal from the S2 is to low for using it. I regret my buy because the MK2 was really better. Can the audio signal output increased by, example a extern audio device(card)? And is it possible that you give every S2 MK3 owner an other hardware device or an extern audio device? Because it is really bad...mostly firms makes things better but this is worser. NI must take his responsibility!?

Or maybe you can send the intern soundcard from the S4 to me, then I change the intern soundcard. Is that possible? Gr Bart
