Meinl Pickup Slaptop Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares and Forward Projecting Sound Ports - NOT MADE IN CHINA - Mahogany Playing Surface, 2-YEAR WARRANTY (PTOPCAJ4MH-M)

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 mahogany playing surface produces bass, snare, and tom/bongo tones; these sounds vary depending on where you strike with your hands (LEFT: snare, MIDDLE: bass, RIGHT: tom/bongo)

GO DEEPER: the modern composite 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 compact size Slaptop Cajon measures 14 1/2" long x 7 1/2" wide x 8 1/2" tall and weighs 4 lbs
