PRESS & AWARDS

TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 was voted winner of 'Best Compact DJ Controller 2010' in this year's prestigious DJ Mag Tech Awards!
"One word: awesome. It's versatile without trying to be a jack of all trades. The Traktor integration is, as you'd expect, very tight indeed - it really does complement and speed up the way you work, and fairly soon, you'll wonder how you managed without it."
