Meinl Pickup Slaptop Cajon Box Drum - Walnut Playing Surface, 2-Year Warranty

The Meinl Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon is designed to provide the ultimate playing experience when extra amplification is needed. Equipped with dials to mix your sound, this cajon offers exceptional versatility for any setting, from plugged-in outdoor shows to intimate acoustic coffee house sets.

The unique T-shape of the cajon is designed for upright playing, allowing you to keep your back straight with the playing surface in your lap and play your cajon grooves like normal. The walnut playing surface, complete with fixed internal snares on both sides, delivers outstanding crisp slap tones and punchy bass notes. You can play towards the middle for bass hits and closer to the sides for snare sounds, using either your hands or cajon brushes.

The Baltic birch resonating body in black reflects the sound for a clear tone, and the forward-facing sound ports help the cajon to project in acoustic settings. This full-sized Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon measures 18 ½" L x 14 ¼" H x 9 ½" D and weighs 9 lbs, providing enough volume for any room.

The cajon is equipped with internal Piezo pickups that let you control the volume and tone through a PA system or amplifier, allowing you to boost your sound in any venue and dial-in your desired tone. The two dials on the cajon allow you to individually adjust the snare and bass volumes, while the quarter-inch cable jack enables you to send your signal through any amp or PA system (cables not included).

Additionally, the cajon features a quarter-inch "link" jack, where you can connect other Meinl passive pickup instruments through the cajon's system and control their output with the cajon's dials. This eliminates the need for additional amps or outputs, minimizing your setup.

Cajons are not naturally loud, so if you play with larger combos or in bigger venues, the Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon's pickups provide the volume boost you need to be heard and cut through the mix. The walnut playing surface produces deep bass and crisp snare tones, and the Baltic birch resonating body with its large forward-facing bass port projects a fuller low-end tone towards your audience.

The pickups do not require batteries to function; simply plug into an amp or PA with a quarter-inch cable, adjust the dials, and start playing (cable not included). Meinl, a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in 1951 in Germany, has ensured that their expert German designers' deep relationships with their builders have delivered the absolute finest quality in the Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon.
