Source: digitaldjtips.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by guitarcenter.com. Digital DJ Tips' dated review (Phil Morse, Oct 2018) confirms this exact model — the Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3, "Launched: September 2018", a "two-channel" USB-powered controller explicitly distinct from the S4 Mk3 (no Haptic Drive jogs) — and states the rear I/O as "RCA outs" plus "a single solitary 1/8″ headphones socket on the front" with "no booth output here", "two sets of eight coloured rubber performance pads" (8 per deck), and a "full version of Traktor Pro 3" at just shy of $300 ("Price: $339"). Guitar Center (authorized US retailer) corroborates the identity and specs: "Channels: 2", "5.5" precision jogwheels", "Sixteen RGB performance pads", a "44.1/48 kHz / 24-bit audio interface", "DJ software: TRAKTOR PRO 3", and "$339.00". Launch MSRP was $299 (Digital DJ Tips) but $339 is the settled US retail/list figure appearing verbatim on both fetched pages, so priceUsd=339; NI's own product page is discontinued (404), so a dated review is used as source, mirroring the existing S4 MK3 entry in this catalog.
