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

The Meinl Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon is a versatile and powerful percussion instrument that offers exceptional sound and flexibility. Equipped with dials to mix your sound, this cajon provides the ultimate playing experience when extra amplification is needed.

The cajon's bass and snare volume knobs allow you to individually dial-in each frequency for a well-balanced tone and mix. A quarter-inch cable jack enables you to send your signal through any amp or PA system, ensuring your performance is heard in any setting. Additionally, the cajon is equipped with a quarter-inch "link" jack, which allows you to connect other Meinl passive pickup instruments and control their output with the cajon's dials, eliminating the need for additional amps or outputs.

The unique T-shape of this 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, 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. The 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 comes with internal Piezo pickups that let you control volume and tone through a PA system or amplifier, allowing you to boost your sound in any venue and dial-in your desired tone. This feature is particularly useful for playing with larger combos or in bigger venues, where cajons are not naturally loud enough to be heard.

The walnut playing surface produces deep bass and crisp snare tones that vary depending on where you strike with your hands. The Baltic birch resonating body's large forward-facing bass port projects towards your audience, giving you a fuller low-end tone.

The pickups do not require batteries to work; simply plug into an amp or PA with a quarter-inch cable, adjust the dials, and start playing. The two dials and two quarter-inch jacks allow you to mix your tone, send your signal to an amp or PA, and even link other Meinl Percussion passive pickup instruments through the cajon's system.

Meinl, a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in 1951 in Germany, is known for its expert German designers and their deep relationships with the builders to ensure the absolute finest quality products. The Meinl Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon is a testament to this commitment, offering an extraordinary playing experience for any setting, from plugged-in outdoor shows to intimate acoustic coffee house sets.
