Native Instruments’ Traktor Kontrol S8

“We are honored to be nominated for Best DJ Product with the Traktor Kontrol S8, and we want to thank all participating retailers for this nomination. Our goal is to create tools for DJs that provide an extraordinary level of expressiveness, and that merge the boundaries between live performance and DJ set, while constantly reimagining the field of digital DJing. The Kontrol S8 is a result of this vision, offering an unbroken link between the DJ and the crowd through its full-color displays and touch-sensitive controls, as well as unprecedented control over Stems, our new multi-channel file format that is being supported by the music industry at large. As the flagship controller over the highly popular Traktor software, the Kontrol S8 has become the ultimate aspirational controller in our DJ line, also thanks to it being used every weekend by some of the best DJs in the world.”
—Constantin Koehncke, Head of Americas Marketing, Native Instruments

Numark’s NS7III

“The NS7III controller is a premier four-deck controller for Serato DJ. Featuring three high-resolution color screens with an interactive control surface, the NS7III connects the DJ with the audience like no other controller. The NS7III is the only motorized controller that gives the dedicated turntablist an authentic mixing and spinning experience. It epitomizes Numark’s ‘best of both worlds’ approach by fusing the power of a Serato DJ-managed digital music library with the highly desired response of a professional DJ turntable. There is real-time visual feedback of Serato DJ via three 4.3-inch color screens. Two screens provide moving waveforms, playhead, deck and FX status. The third screen delivers a dedicated view of your track library, which also can be switched to display stacked parallel waveforms for complete beat-matching control. You can manage your performance with the source laptop out of sight or closed altogether. Numark’s NS7III: control, capability, connection!”
—Chris Roman, Product Manager, Numark

Pioneer DJ’s DJM-S9 Mixer

“We wanted to offer DJs an even greater level of personalization and creative performance opportunities with the DJM-S9.

With more than 20 years in the industry, we’ve made it our goal to deliver high-quality products to DJs and producers all over the world. To win Best DJ Product of 2015 with the DJM-S9 would be a great honor, and it would show that we’re succeeding in bringing the next generation of products that inspire and shape the DJ community.”
—David Arevalo, Director of Marketing, Pioneer DJ Americas, Inc.

“Thanks for nominating the Rane MP2015 in the Best DJ Product category. For those DJs who like long mixes and precise blending, the MP2015, with its ‘analog soul and digital heart,’ is a slice of heaven that is an absolute joy to mix on. The build quality is out of this world; the way the MP2015 looks is simply stunning; and the design and spacing of the control surface are absolutely faultless. For those who are looking for the best of the best, there is no doubt that the Rane MP2015 should be at the top of their list when it comes to shopping around for the ideal mixer.”
