TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 from Native Instruments is an ultra small USB DJ soundcard that can still function and pack enough punch to rock the biggest club. Two high-gain stereo outputs provide all needed for spinning tracks from a computer, and because of its compact size, preparing sets and mixes on a plane or train is a breeze.
Both channels can be output individually via 1/4" jacks to a DJ mixer using the included adapter cable, or mixed internally in TRAKTOR using one output to monitor the headphone mix, the other as the master out. The interface is built using Cirrus Logic digital to analog converters, plus state-of-the-art chip technology and driver architecture ensure top sound quality and low latency for professional use on stage and in the studio.
TRAKTOR LE 2 DJ software provides two playback decks to spin tracks directly from a hard drive with full iTunes integration and iPod compatibility. A handy Crate Flick option allows for browsing the user's virtual crates. The software's TruWave colored waveforms and BPM sync provides the power to perform perfect mixes while flavoring sets with three effects, expressive filters and instant looping functions.

Comments about Native Instruments TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 - Ultra Compact DJ Audio Interface:
DJ/Karaoke with laptop
needed separate headphone output to preview tracks
audio 2 worked perfectly,faster response and less noise than laptops onboard audio.
bundled LE software did not allow previewing of tracks in windows explorer, ended up going back to PCDJ Dex which gave more preview options
