Overview
Meinl builds the Pickup Turbo Slaptop with a walnut playing surface over a Baltic birch body, with forward projecting sound ports and internal snares. Two dials balance the low and snare levels before the signal leaves a quarter inch output.
Dials that set bass and snare levels separately make this a fit for gigs where extra amplification is needed. A link jack passes other Meinl passive pickup instruments through the same controls.
Who it's for
Written for a gigging drummer or singer-songwriter who needs to send a cajon through an amp or PA without a separate mic. Anyone who plays unplugged will not use the dials or the jack.
Pros and cons
- Separate bass and snare dials
- Link jack for other Meinl pickups
- Forward projecting sound ports
- Walnut playing surface
- Output cable not included
- Link jack suits Meinl gear only
- Pickup type not detailed
Performance notes
Passive pickups feed the two dials, so each range can be balanced before the signal travels onward. Internal snares add buzz, and the sound ports aim the acoustic tone toward the audience while the walnut surface gives a warm voice.
