5.4.7 Phono/Line Switches (PH / LN)
Deck A's phono/line switch to the left of the TRAKTOR mode button.
These switches let you choose the analog input source for the TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2. There
are two main stereo channel inputs on the Z2, and each has separate phono and line inputs.
The switch determines which of the two inputs will be fed into the mixer channel (the Z2's in-
ternal mixer) and fed up to the computer via USB (for Timecode input or for use in a Live In-
put Deck).
5.4.8 TRAKTOR Buttons
Channel A's TRAKTOR button to the right of the phono/line switches.
This is a very vital control. The TRAKTOR button activates TRAKTOR mode for the correspond-
ing mixer channel, which means that the audio entering this channel is being sent to TRAK-
TOR, and not handled internally in the Z2 (Direct mode). TRAKTOR mode is the mode for
Timecode control of TRAKTOR Decks.
When the button is off (not illuminated), all audio coming into the channel is processed by the
Z2. The channel then operates in Direct mode. This means that gain, EQ, volume, and pre-
listening are all done independently of TRAKTOR.
You have no control of the TRAKTOR software on a channel in Direct mode, since the ac-
tual audio processing is carried out by the Z2 internally.
You can literally switch between Z2 hardware mixing and TRAKTOR mixing on-the-fly, with-
out any glitches. This gives you a great deal of flexibility.
