Adjust the AUX knob located in the panel below Deck D and attain the desired volume level in your mix.Adjust the GAIN knob next to the EXT button while speaking into the microphone until you reach the desired level. The level meters next to the channel selection will provide a visual indication of the signal level. When you have finished, you can close the Preferences.Press and hold one of the SHIFT buttons and the corresponding EXT button on the Deck the microphone was plugged into (in this example, it's the MIC D input, so Deck D). This will enable the microphone pre-amp.For this reason, it is not possible to use both the MIC and Input Channels at the same time. Note: The TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK3 shares its rear microphone input ( MIC C) with the Input Channel C and the front microphone input ( MIC D) with the Input Channel D input. In the example below, we are using the S4 MK3, therefore we have selected the inputs called 7: D-L Line/Mic (Front) and 8: D-R Line/Mic (Front) as shown below.

TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK3: Select 7: D-L Line/Mic (Front) and 8: D-R Line/Mic (Front) for Input Aux L(Mono) and R.TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK2: Select 5: Mic In (Mono) and 6: Mic In (Mono) for Input Aux L(Mono) and R.TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK1: Select 3: In Ch D Left and 4: In Ch D Right for Input Aux L(Mono) and R.The microphone input channels are different for the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK1, MK2 and MK3 models. Go to the TRAKTOR Preferences > Input Routing and make sure that the Input Aux channel is set to the microphone input.Additionally, make sure that the USB/THRU switch on the rear panel of the device is set to USB. Note: On a TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK1, the MIC Input is a 1/4' inch located on the back of the device. In our example, we will be using the MIC D input. Connect your microphone to the MIC D input located at the front side of the S4 MK3, or the MIC C input located at the backside of the device.

In this configuration, the microphone signal is sent through TRAKTOR's Aux channel and is therefore not processed through TRAKTOR's Mixer, Decks, or FX.
