Native Instruments just dropped the price of the Kontrol S2 to $449USD, most stores are selling it for $399USD now. The DJTechTools store (run by controllorist legend and wizard Ean Golden) is selling it for $399.99USD, and includes:
FREE DJ Tech Tools Bonus Pack included with order
PowerTools Sound Library - $14.99
Chroma Caps: S2 Pack - $39.40
TechTools Custom S2 Mapping - $4.99
Dual RCA to RCA Cable - $14.99
Shipping to Australia is $71 Priority mail or $90 Express mail (USPS, I requested to ship via UPS/DHL/Fedex due to how useless/slow/unreliable USPS is though)
Brilliant deal. Paid via paypal it ended up costing me ~$451AUD last night. There are a few other bundles too, i'd say the TMA-1 bundle would be a great bargain too (DJTT have them for $199USD and you save $20 bundling, headphones.com.au have them for $249AUD). Great prices while the currency is high :)
Description:

Add a DJTT S2 Backpack to your cart as well and we'll give you $15 off the pair!
The Kontrol S2 is a streamlined version of the Kontrol S4 and offers the following dj features
Audio 6 quality built-in soundcard
Traktor 2 software included
2-Channel mixing interface
FX routing and controls
Dedicated buttons launch loops and samples
Dedicated volume knob for decks C and D (loop decks)
The Kontrol S2 was based off the Kontrol S4 which DJ TechTools' founder and controller expert Ean Golden designed from the ground up for Ergonomics, work flow and professional feeling controls.
Some of the controller highlights are:
High resolution magnetic jog wheels
60mm high res pitch faders
High Quality built in sound card
Balanced outputs
Mic input
Dedicated Loop/Sample buttons and volume control
Endless gain encoders for use with auto gain
The Traktor Pro 2 software is also improved:
Loop recorder for live performance layering
Loop and sample decks
Improved grey scale look for better visibility
Simplified master clock section
Better to buy from storedj.com.au or other local store for $450 in my opinion, you don't get the bonus pack but you do get local warranty and service. It's worth it. Good product and deal at this price (note this is a limited offer by Native Instruments until 31st March)
