PICKUP CAJONS
PICKUP
The great thing about the pickup: If extra volume is needed, the Cajon can easily be turned up via the amp. Additional sound nuances can be worked out and no microphone is necessary. A quarter inch cable port allows you to send your signal through any amp or PA system. Usually, a piezo pickup is used, because the wooden resonating bodies of the instruments vibrate and thus optimally transport the sound to the pickup.
how to use the pickup
The pickup in the Cajon can be especially useful in outdoor performances, concerts on a larger stage, or when playing with several musicians, where the instrument has to prevail. Of course, Pickup Cajons are also great for musicians who like to experiment and create a new sound in the studio or at home.
