We have the 5'x11' booth from whisperroom with the enhanced double wall feature and for 2 people it will do. We are smack dab in the middle of a 5 floor office space with HVAC above us.
They aren't completely isolated as you can still hear an engineer speaking loudly to you from outside.
We have the ventilation silencing system but unless you absolutely need it, they add too much noise and as a result can't use a downward expander.
I would suggest the Exterior Fan Silencer in that case, perhaps that would help.
Another issue we have is isolating low frequencies (doors banging) from the floor traveling up into the booth. The standard mat that is provided in my opinion is not thick enough.
I would also stray from getting too many windows unless you go bigger. We have 2 In our booth, and you have to be careful about mic placement so as not to get too many reflections.
Just my 2 pennies.

On Behalf Of Chris Meyer In addition to a mic's off-axis rejection, I can't put enough emphasis on the usefulness of a good "voice channel" mic preamp that, among other things, has a downward expander/noise gate to kill sound in between sentences. It takes a little
bit of fiddling to set up, to make sure it's not truncating trailing-off words or bouncing along on the noise floor, but otherwise I consider it a secret weapon. But back to the original request: Are you looking at a portable sound booth because the environment is just too noisy? Or do you merely need to tame a not-too-bad environment, which can be done by moving equipment on the other sides of
walls or putting them in enclosures, a few sound deadening panels to knock down the liveliness of a room, and maybe a mic screen like the Mud Guard to cut down further on off-axis noise and reflections? - Chris

The iso booths are good solutions for noisy environments, but not always necessary. |
