The MEINL Vertical Subwoofer Cajon with black MDF body and mahogany frontplate features forward-projecting sound ports in place of the traditional rear-facing style and an internal reflex channel that helps develop the sound. This results in enhanced bass note projection, particularly desirable for live and unplugged situations. Fixed internal snare wires deliver a crisp and cutting sound that enhances corner slaps and adds a touch of contrast to the bass notes.
