Meinl Pickup Slaptop Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares and Forward Projecting Sound Ports -NOT MADE IN CHINA - Walnut Playing Surface, 2-YEAR WARRANTY (PTOPCAJ2WN)

FACTORY INSTALLED PICKUPS: comes with internal Piezo pickups that let you control volume and tone through a PA system or amplifier; boost your sound in any venue and dial-in your tone. WHY IT MATTERS: cajons aren't naturally loud, so if you play with larger combos or in bigger venues, you'll need a volume boost to be heard; these pickups lift the ceiling of normal cajon applications so you can cut through the mix. HOW IT WORKS: like a mini drum kit, the walnut playing surface produces deep bass and crisp snare tones; these sounds vary depending on where you strike with your hands (MIDDLE: bass, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES: snare). GO DEEPER: the Baltic birch resonating body has a large forward-facing bass port that projects toward your audience; this gives you fuller low-end tone. OF NOTE: the pickups don't require batteries to work; just plug into an amp or PA with a quarter-inch cable, adjust the dials, and start playing (cable not included). ZOOM IN: there are two dials and two quarter-inch jacks; SNARE AND BASS: mix your tone, OUTPUT: send your signal to an amp or PA, LINK: join other Meinl Percussion passive pickup instruments through the cajon's system. BY THE NUMBERS: this turbo size Slaptop Cajon measures 18 1/2"" long x 9 1/2"" wide x 14 1/4"" tall and weighs 9 lbs; its large size has enough volume for any room, and it's about as loud as a traditional cajon.
