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 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 micro-coiled steel cajon strings for snare effect; two pickups are placed near the strings and the other on the bass area to produce the most natural tone (you can play 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
