The heart of the patent-pending system is a sculpted
hardwood microphone holder. This holder allows the mic it contains to
be placed anywhere on the rear surface of a cajon in order to achieve
the optimum sound. Hook-and-loop fastener strips let the player
position the unit in different locations to enhance the desired effect.
The microphone itself is held 3 mm above the surface of the cajon in
order to pick up the punch of the bass tones along with all of the more
subtle sounds.
The compact and flexible design of the LP Cajon Mic system
eliminates the need for permanently mounted internal mics, or for
external mics whose stands can often get in the player's way. Two
models of holders are available, with one shaped to accommodate a Shure
Beta 91 mic and the other shaped to accommodate an Audix ADX-60 mic.
Holders are sold separately or as a kit with the Audix microphone.
