3/4/2023 0 Comments Traktor audio 10Whilst the old box was called the ‘Traktor Audio 10’, the new one folds into the Scratch brand with ‘Traktor Scratch A10’. NI have also taking the opportunity to make a few other tiny design tweaks.įirst off, branding has been brought up to date, to reflect the new Traktor logo along with naming conventions. Like the S4 MK2, the Traktor Scratch A10 is simply an update, rather than a new product, hence the lack of fanfare. You’ll get an overall louder and crisper signal at the mixer’s phono inputs. If you use NI’s excellent multi-core cables, High Impedance Mode keeps the Audio 10 from sucking too much of the signal away from the turntable, thus maintaining a good audio level when played directly through the mixer channel. This may help with timecode reading, but would mostly mean vinyl played via Direct Thru Mode would sound more like they should. The change in phono pre-amplification is also something that most wouldn’t ever notice, but means audio running from turntables is reproduced more accurately. Quite a few people on various forums noticed a distinct drop in volume, particularly when using the Direct Thru Mode. You’ll still need external power (still in the box) to run audio through the soundcard in Direct Thru (sic) Mode when it’s not plugged in via USB, but it’s one less thing to worry about when you set up.Ī lot of work has gone into getting sound quality/volume closer to the old Audio 8. This means you don’t need to plug in the power supply anymore… it’ll run off your computer. The big news is the fact the Traktor Scratch A10 can now run on USB bus power. Phono pre-amplification has been adjusted to a flatter response and attenuated highs (12kHz) High Impedance mode is now available (activated via audio control panel) Microphone amplifier has been replaced by updated hardware Overall output (and input) volume has been increased to CDJ standard (+12dBu)ĭirect Thru Mode is now working without a volume decrease Now works without an external power supply (USB bus powered) So, what’s different? First, read the changelog from NI, then let’s go through the changes and how significant they are. In a case of “why didn’t they do this in the first place’, Native Instruments have quietly released a MK2 of their full-fat Traktor Scratch A10, a stealth update that has slowly been circulating through the supply chain with no fanfare.
