Native Instruments Traktor MX2

The MX2 is a two-channel controller with an integrated sound card. It has two integrated stereo outputs (line and 1/8” / 3.5 mm TRS), headphone outputs (1/8” / 3.5 mm TRS) and microphone inputs (1/4” / 6.3 mm TRS). The MX2 uses the standard HID protocol to send and receive signals from a computer, so it can work with Mixxx.
