When you want extra volume and more tone control, the Meinl Pickup Slaptop Cajon is the ideal solution. This innovative instrument is lightweight and features an eco-friendly, medium-density fiberboard body that sits comfortably in your lap with its unique T-shaped design. The Pickup Slaptop also features a passive pickup system that has bass, snare, and tone controls, so you can dial in your own unique sound ? features we fell in love with here at Sweetwater. In addition, the mahogany playing surface comes with internally fixed snares, which add punchy slap tones to the deep, boomy bass hits. The Pickup Slaptop even has forward-projecting sound ports that deliver even more volume to your audience. This cajon is literally built for sound, and you will hear it the first time you get it in your hands.

Link up other Meinl instruments





This cajon is equipped with a link input intended for use with other Meinl instruments with pickups. The link signal gets routed through the cajon's controls, enabling extra sound shaping before both signals get sent to a single amplifier. Using the link input, this cajon can eliminate the need for extra amplifiers, decrease a group's stage footprint, and lend a much cleaner visual look to a stage setup. Note: Meinl's link system is not compatible with all instruments or sources. Be sure to call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information and a complete list of compatible devices.
