Native Instruments Updates TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 Interface with iOS Compatibility
Native Instruments’ TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 is available now with iOS compatibility with the iPhone or iPad. The AUDIO 2 is a portable 2 channel 24-bit/48kHz audio interface/soundcard that can be used for DJing with TRAKTOR PRO 2 software & TRAKTOR DJ for iPad/iPhone.
Pocket friendly, the AUDIO 2 is USB powered and connects with iOS devices, laptops or external DJ mixers and has two 1/4 stereo outputs. Like its big cousins the AUDIO 6 and AUDIO 7 the AUDIO 2 interface features Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters and stable low-latency performance.
The AUDIO 2 can split two decks into two separate audio channels for DJing. Plug the USB port to your laptop; users who would like to mix internally in TRAKTOR PRO 2 & TRAKTOR DJ, can use one output to monitor your headphone mix and the other as your stereo output connected to an amplifier or powered speaker. To mix externally, output both channels to the 1/4 stereo outputs to a DJ mixer.
When using the iPad or iPhone, AUDIO 2 increases the overall output gain and charges the iOS device’s battery using the optional power supply. AUDIO 2 also includes TRAKTOR LE 2 software. TRAKTOR LE 2 DJ software lets you play tracks directly from a hard drive with full iTunes integration and iPod compatibility while providing the basic essential mixing features designed for entry-level DJs.
For users looking to complete their mobile setup, the Native Instruments KONTROL X1 can be used as a controller with the AUDIO 2. This allows the DJ to have less equipment to carry around but as much control over (cue, playback, EQ) as their standard DJ controller. Plus, the KONTROL X1 features plug and play with the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 which means setup within minutes.
TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 is available at retailers worldwide and at the NI Online Shop for $99. It comes with TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 hardware, TRAKTOR LE 2 software license, USB cable, Mini-USB to 30-Pin cable for iOS, e-voucher ($50.00, valid for TRAKTOR PRO 2 and all NI downloadable software from the NI Online Shop). Using the AUDIO 2 with iPad 4 and iPhone 5 requires a 30-pin to Lightning adapter.
