Sound
This is crystal clear and dynamic sound for me, I have to rate it consider the price of it, so it's 9/10. It's doing great work for me, and I listening to electronic house soulful music.
Features
It's a very simple device so you can't rate it much, it has 2 outputs which is crucial for my DJ-ing with traktor, os I guess it has great features for simple DJ setup with my Numark controler.
Ease of Use
Just plug it and go, no hustle, get your cables ready before purchase.
Quality
It looks sturdy, if I step on it I wouldn't worry that it will not work after... It's small so you can cover it easily and it will be dust free.
Value
This is great purchase, for this money you can't ask for more from NI.
Manufacturer Support
I did contacted NI support for other reason, I sold my old NI Kontrol 1 and I want to transfer the license to other guy, no response after 3 days, only generic ticket email, I'll wait more, but so far 5/10
