TRAKTOR PRO 2 | EQ and Filter Models

TRAKTOR PRO 2 offers a range of EQ and Filter types, each with its own sound characteristics and features. You can select your preferred EQ and Filter Type in Preferences > Mixer.

Note: In TRAKTOR PRO 2, all EQ types have been updated to offer a flat frequency response when the knobs are set to middle position. The Z ISO EQ does affect the phase of the audio signal even in middle position, however, this is not audible in practical use. It is a characteristic of all full-kill isolator EQs in DJ applications.

EQ Selection

You can choose between six alternative EQ Types, which differ from each other in their sound and features:

• Classic: The standard three-band TRAKTOR EQ.
• P600: This three-band EQ model references older DJ mixers by a Japanese manufacturer.
• NUO: This three-band EQ model references a line of DJ mixers by a Spanish manufacturer.
• Xone: This EQ model references a line of DJ mixers by a British manufacturer. It adds an additional mid setting for a total of four EQ-bands. Note that this additional band may not be accessible from your controller.
• Z ISO: This is the same three-band EQ as found in the new TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 DJ mixer. It is a full kill isolator EQ with a 24 db/octave slope, and sharply cuts the respective frequency band when turned fully counter-clockwise.
• P800: This three-band EQ model references more recent DJ mixers by a Japanese manufacturer.

Filter Selection

You can choose between three different Filter Types:

• Ladder: The ladder filter concept is commonly associated with classic synthesizers. It offers a steep response and a lot of resonance.
• Xone: This filter is modeled after a line of DJ mixers by a British manufacturer. It has a more mellow slope and less resonance.
• Z: This is the same filter model as found in the new TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 DJ-mixer. It is a steep filter, but it does not have as much resonance as the Ladder model.
