Does anybody have any experience with the www.vocalboothtogo.com "Soundproofer" model" ? It's their blanket booth coupled with a mass loaded vinyl layer. I'm wondering what kind of sound isolation it could provide? I still am in search of something for better isolation and this sounds pretty interesting. Also, they are a local company to me, which I always try to support when possible.

Thanks,

Paul

I have no experience with those but they look pretty expensive and not at all small. Not sure that it's a good compromise when you could build something more effective for less money and in the same footprint.

The cheapest one that I saw was $2700? I can literally build 2 of my 4x6 booths for that. I'd imagine you could pay a contractor to build a solid one for not much difference in the retail on that Soundproofer.

I notice that offer their Soundproofer booths for rent. Since they are local to you, perhaps you could rent one first to see if it does what you want it to.

You'd have to have some heavy MLV to even make a bit of difference. I highly doubt you could get enough density with some hanging MLV and padding to really be worth it. It all depends on what you want to block. MLV would make for one HEAVY "portable" booth

Thanks everybody.

Lee I have asked about renting before and they balked due to invetory stocks of this "new" product

Jason, even though this is marketed as a portable booth I'm not looking to move it around. Just interested based on the company being close to me and because I use their blankets now for room treatment

I'll keep investigating

What I don't understand is how they are marketing this as "new." Steven Jay Cohen included it in his blog series on Vocal Booths almost two years ago.

1. Buy PVC

2. Buy some of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Singer-Safety-Double-Quilted-Fiberglass/dp/B009LPT9SO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1467784272&sr=8-5&keywords=sound+proof+blanket

3. Get a grommet gun and zip ties


4. Throw this down on the floor if you want: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H6X4V7C?psc=1

5. Get some 12" x 12" acoustic foam squares and adhesive

6. Get an LED dome light and velcro strips

Build yourself a free-standing "vocal booth" ...

It might not look as fancy, but I think you'd cut down on sound quite a bit. Especially if you used an interior room of your home and worked on the acoustics of the room itself you set your makeshift vocal booth in. Put bass traps in the corners, treat doors/windows and walls.

A booth within a treated room might do really well.

You can get a six pack of their panels for $150. $50 more than one of the fiber glass ones.

Here's the link to the whole line.

I'd buy the blankets and figure my own frame.

Good thread, BTW.
