PICKUP SYSTEM FOR CAJON PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS

摘要

A pickup system for a cajón percussion instrument that includes pickups coupled to the cajón that provide pickup signals to a control box that provides a system output signal. Pickups can be located on different or the same panels of the cajón. Pickups can be near one another to produce similar pickup signals. The system can include audio processors for modifying the pickup signals. The audio processors can include filters for changing amplitude verses frequency responses. The control box can include a summing device for combining the pickup signals. The system can include one or more output jacks. The pickup signals can be provided to different output jacks. The pickups can include piezoelectric pickups, microphones, coils and magnets, or other types of pickups. The control box can include tone and volume controls accessible and adjustable by a player to modify the system output signal.
