Technical Specifications

• Dimensions: 31 cm x 30 cm x 48 cm (H) (Standard dimensions).
• Cajon Weight: Approximately 4.8 kg, balancing structural stability with portability.
• Pickup System: Equipped with EQ system featuring Volume and Tone controls. The 6.35mm (1/4") output jack allows for easy connection to audio equipment.

Key Features

• Plug-and-Play Versatility: The built-in EQ system eliminates the feedback issues often found with external mics, making it ideal for large venues and live bands.
• Adjustable Tone: The onboard EQ controls allow the player to fine-tune the output, emphasizing the deep bass or sharpening the "slap" tones directly from the instrument.
• Snare System: Features an internal bell snare system. This design integrates small bells with the snare wires to produce a crisp, metallic shimmer during high-register "slap" hits.
• Bass Performance: The body is constructed from solid poly-birch wood, specifically selected to broaden the instrument's acoustic range. This high-density material significantly enhances the low-end resonance, delivering a deeper, more powerful bass tone that remains punchy and clear without losing its definition during rapid play.
• Ergonomic Height: Standing at 48 cm, it provides a standard playing height that is suitable for most percussionists.

Sound and Performance

In acoustic settings, it delivers the same rich, textured sound as the standard SCJ-2, with the internal bells providing a crisp metallic edge to your rhythm. When amplified, the built-in pickup captures the full dynamic range of the birch body, delivering punchy bass and clear, distinct snares through the PA system or acoustic amplifier.
