A) Not sure which kind of vocal booth or sound booth you need? We hope the following guide will help you to make the right choice. Follow each bullet to see what your situation is . . . . If you still need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
- You are a voice over actor and need something to carry with you, so you can conduct recordings on a moments notice just about anywhere. You need the Voice Over Mobile Booth aka VOMO 2019.
- You want to work on your feet and gesticulate when you read. You need a VOMO 2019 and Travel Tripod or Universal Stand.
- You do voice acting or audio recordings, and you already have a quiet place to record BUT need to produce dead-sounding recordings. You need an Acoustic Vocal Booth.
- You work alone and do not need a large booth. The AVB3x3 is a good option for you. It has a 40 x 40 inch footprint with an 80 inch vertical clearance. The booth can easily accommodate a person who is 6 feet tall.
- You want a vocal booth that doesn’t require much space in your home, and a walk-in vocal booth is NOT an option. If you do not have the space to set up a full-size stand alone booth or are not interested in taking the frames of a vocal booth apart and putting it back together, the Vocal Booth on Tracks should be your first choice. This frame-less version of a vocal booth can be hung off the ceiling and our Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets with Grommets create your makeshift walls that can simply be pushed aside like a curtain when not in use. The Vocal Booth On Tracks: Ceiling Track Kits require minor installation and will give you great results in a limited space.
- If you have the space and want to be able to have a table and a chair inside the vocal booth, then you need the AVB6x3. The space inside this Acoustic Vocal Booth is twice the size of the AVB 3×3 and can easily accommodate a small-size desk, chair or even a small group of people.
- You have a band or a drum set that you want to fit in the vocal booth, you need the largest vocal booth we offer — the AVB 6×6. With almost 50 square feet floor space inside this booth, it is very spacious!
- You need to contain the outside noise. If you have a noisy neighbor, maybe with a barking dog or mowing or construction work, you need a SoundProof(er) Booth. Our sound booths provide approximately 45dB sound reduction, 52dB if you purchase the Double Enhanced SoundProof(er) Booths — better than any other portable sound booths out there. These sound booths are mobile. Our SoundProof(er) Booths can be disassembled and transported in a utility vehicle and ships via freight carrier on a pallet because of the weight.
- You need to contain the sound leaking from the inside of the booth. If you are an opera singer and need to do 100 scales a day, or need to play an instrument or perhaps need to practice with your band, then you need a SoundProof(er) Booths or Double Enhanced SoundProof(er) Booths. Our sound booths provide approximately 45-52dB sound reduction, which should be enough to keep your neighbors from complaining.
What is important to remember is that in order to obtain a good recording, you do not necessarily have to soundproof your space, but you MUST cut out reflections, echo, reverberations, modes, flatter, standing waves and whatever else that is messing up your recordings! Keep in mind that if you are able to find a quiet place in your home an Acoustic Vocal Booth or VOMO 2019 for acoustics is really all you need!
However, if it is the sound leakage that you are primarily concerned with, then you need to be prepared to spend a little more for the SoundProof(er) Booths — made with mass loaded vinyl panels to block sound and a layer of Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets to eliminate echoes.
