Pearl PBEC-210 Electric Crate Cajon

Rustic style, electric power.

The Pearl PBEC-210 Electric Crate Cajon revisits a classic design with a modern twist. It looks exactly like an old wooden shipping crate. However, this instrument hides a powerful secret. It features a built-in Piezo trigger and a quarter-inch output jack. Consequently, you can plug directly into an amplifier or PA system. This cajon is perfect for street performers and stage musicians who need to be heard.

Key Features

Plug-In Power Acoustic projection is not always enough. Therefore, Pearl equipped this model with a sensitive Piezo pickup. You can take your sound to the stage without the hassle of microphones. Simply plug a standard instrument cable into the 1/4-inch jack. Thus, you get the same full-bodied tone at any volume level.

Authentic Crate Tone The instrument features a robust Shorea plywood body. This construction delivers a deep, resonant bass. Additionally, the Meranti faceplate provides a responsive playing surface. The built-in rear bass port further enhances the low-end thump. It looks like a crate, but it sounds like a professional drum kit.

Crisp Snare Response Pearl did not sacrifice detail for volume. The interior houses two sets of fixed snare wires. These snares provide a sharp, cutting crack that complements the bass. Furthermore, the unique silk-screened finish gives the drum a vintage aesthetic. It commands attention visually and sonically.
