I think there would still be a similar amount of boom as it would be the only place for air to escape but being closer to the playing side could give a bit more slap. Worth an experiment I think. Many thanks, Keith Hi Vinay,

That is what I love about the cajon. It is so versatile and can be used in so many different situations. You could also go with an internally mounted microphone. http://www.kopfpercussion.com/products/Internal-Microphone-System.html This one mounts through a 1/4" hole underneath the sound hole. Works really well and is very convenient. Thanks for the video! There are about as many ways and combinations of ways to mic cajones that we could probably go on for days.

I borrowed a (crappy) table saw to cut the initial plywood. Since the saw is crappy my cuts are not quite square and thus the boxy isn`t either. Ì`ve used plywood that is five eighths of an inch thick. A couple questions and I would be so grateful for these pointers. Do you find that a thinner plywood is best? Should the snare be fairlly tight and in direct contact with the tapa? Your comments would be helpful and much appreciated. Your cajon sounds great and I`d like mine to sound similar.

And you have superb taste in mics - 2 of my fav mics ever. @Jen I loved the helpful comment about bringing the boom arm and mic lower and angling upward to increase freedom of motion for the hands. Gonna try that next time! ALSO... does anyone have any critique on getting the best sound when you have only 1 available channel/mic and need to amplify the cajon? Sound hole or front plate? SM57 or condenser? etc? Thanks! right on… nice playing!

Phase can cancel out the bass when the 2 mics are used together because the sound waves are moving in opposite directions (eg. away from the front mic but towards the rear mic).
