## Description

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)

## Features

- 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
- THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you power it? Plug in or batteries? If batteries, what kind?**
A: No batteries needed, you just need a 1/4" cord and an amp or mixer board with power.

**Q: anyone have this drum? how does it sound?**
A: I just got one.  It sounds great through a P.A.  I wouldn't recommend just using it without amplification.  Also, when another instrument is plugged into the link input, you will lose the internal pick ups of the Cajo'n.  So with just the slap top and amp, it performs well, but I was disappointed that I couldn't use the link function and keep the internal pick ups.

**Q: Are the snares on the right or left side? The description says they are on both. I'm left handed so I need the snare sound on the right.**
A: The snare is on the left side, however you can turn it and it will be on the right. If it is amped it doesn’t matter if the port holes face you.

**Q: What is the difference between the smaller and larger size models other than the dimensions?**
A: I'm not a professional musician, but based on my experience having a large one and a small one, the meinl larger one resonates sound louder and would be more suitable for an acoustic jam session. The laptop meinl version I have was purchased to record on since it has a built-in pickup that can be connected to a computer or PA. Both are good Quality
