About this item

• FACTORY INSTALLED PICKUPS: comes with three internal Piezo pickups that let you control volume and tone through a PA system or amplifier; turn up 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
• BE SMART: we craft this cajon in Europe from 100% Baltic birch wood, which also used in high-end drum sets for players serious about sound; made with NO cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood
• HOW IT WORKS: the cajon is equipped with two sets of fixed coiled steel snare wires for a crisp sound; two pickups are placed on the snare zones and the other on the bass area to produce the most natural tone (you can play it without using the pickups)
• 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; VOLUME: set your levels, TONE: adjust for more bass or snare, 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: the Meinl Pickup Snarecraft Cajon measures 11 3/4″ W x 19″ H x 11 3/4″ D and weighs 9 lbs; its full size has enough volume for any room, and it’s made to last with a solid frame that supports adults and children
