DISC Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 with Denon DN-308 Monitors

Full Description

Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 Professional DJ Controller

High Resolution Displays

Wielding dual high definition real-time display screens the Traktor S8 delivers optimized visual monitoring by displaying wave visuals, bpm, time scales and track info and also providing the capability to access a range of effects and track library browsing with just a simple touch.

The high definition screens also features innovative smart views that allow you to monitor dynamic visual feedback such as the beatgrid view which instantly displays timing markers on the selected tracks wave image to allow for syncing and editing.

Advanced & Versatile Controls

Also incorporating rotary control knobs, touch sensitive panels and sixteen bright colour coded performance pads to allow you to transform and manipulate tracks by assigning sliced segments, loops, hotcues and samples the Native Instruments S8 provides everything you could possibly need for live and studio dj'ing and much more making it a dream for experienced dj's.

The freeze function on the Kontrol S8 allows you to take an audio snapshot of the current playing track which will then appear as a loop on a performance pad allowing you to loop and sample sections of audio on the fly.

With two sensitive touch strips located to the bottom of the performance pads on each side the S8 provides the ability to bend the pitch of the current track and even act as a vinyl scratch emulator to bring traditional elements of DJ'ing to this advanced contemporary DJ controller.

Traktor & Stand Alone Mode

The incorporation of Traktor Mode buttons on every mixer channel allows you to toggle between Traktor and stand-alone mode giving you the option of integrating a range of analog and/or digital gear whilst the innovative wear resistant faders allow prolonged fader life due to the inversed carbon strips.

Audio Interface

The Traktor Kontrol S8 features the most powerful audio interface ever to appear on a Traktor DJ Controller. With four analog inputs with both microphone and phono preamps the S8 can be connected to turntables, CDJ and other equipment to expand this already powerful controller. The addition of XLR and RCA master outputs makes the S8 compatible with any sound system.

Midi In/Out

With the Midi in/out connections the Native Instruments Traktor S8 allows you to sync with synthesizers, drum machines, MASCHINE and external effects units adding further expansion potential to this already versatile professional DJ controller.

Denon DN-308S 8'' Active Reference Monitors

Professional-Quality Components and Design

The DN-308S boasts a custom high-frequency wave guide that precisely focuses and directs the treble energy into the listening field. By doing so, this ensures a solid and stable sonic image while minimizing the random acoustic ''scatter'' that often causes the sound to be unfocused and indistinct.

The 100-watt DN-308S provides you with crystal clear sound reproduction that is perfect for small/medium-size presentation spaces. Additionally, the dynamic and wide-range frequency response is far beyond the capabilities of conventional table top or in-ceiling speakers. Complete with a three-position proximity control that adapts the bass response, the DN-308S allows you to tailor the sound to your environment to ensure the sound is always well-defined and well-balanced regardless of the position within the room.

High-Powered Amplification

Two individual internal Class A/B amplifiers provide power to each of the speaker elements. These amplifiers have been specially tailored to the drivers that they are paired with, guaranteeing seamless operation and system synergy that is virtually impossible to equal using the equivalent expensive outboard amplifiers and passive speakers.

Delivering 100 watts total power output (RMS), this Denon active monitor has more than ample headroom for even the most demanding situations. The carefully selected crossover point divides the frequency spectrum into two bands so that each individual driver only handles the exact range where it's most accurate.

The amplifiers are complete with specialized output current limiting circuitry that protects against both distortion and overheating, as well as a muting on/off circuit to prevent speaker transient on-off ''pops''. Also included is a subsonic filter and an external mains fuse, all of which combines together to ensure ideal amplifier behaviour without any unpleasant noises or distractions.
