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)

Equipped with dials to mix your sound, the Pickup Compact Slaptop Cajon gives you the ultimate playing experience when extra amplification is needed. Bass and snare volume knobs give you the ability to individually dial-in each frequency for a well-balanced tone and mix. A quarter-inch cable jack allows you to send your signal through any amp or PA system (cables not included). Additionally, this cajon is equipped with a quarter-inch “link” jack where can link other Meinl passive pickup instruments through this cajon's system and control their output with the cajon's dials. This eliminates the need for additional amps or outputs to minimize your setup. Ideal for any plugged-in outdoor show, large venue or intimate acoustic coffee house set, the Meinl Pickup Compact Slaptop Cajon is extraordinarily versatile for any setting. The unique T-shape of this cajon is designed for upright playing. Keep your back straight with the playing surface in your lap, and play your cajon grooves like normal. Its mahogany playing surface with fixed internal snares on one side delivers outstanding crisp slap tones with punchy bass in the center. This surface can be played with either your hands or cajon brushes. The durable composite resonating body in black reflects the sound for a clear tone, and forward-facing sound ports help the cajon to project in acoustic settings. This compact sized Pickup Slaptop Cajon measures 14 ½” L x 10” H x 5 ¾” D.

• 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
