Portable Mini Vocal Booth

Step 2Things you need + costs

Things you need + costs
  • Sharp boxcutter knife.
  • Sound Isolation Foam (1 M�, depending on the size of your box)
  • 2 durable Cardboard boxes (In this tutorial I use an old box from my notebook and a generic one)
  • Bolts (12 bolts) and or a (industrial) stapler. (20 staples)
  • Mic
  • Mic stand
  • Marker
  • Bag with handle (or just the handle)
  • Ruler

It cost me about 10 euros. I bought the foam at a hardware store. Be sure to get foam made for sound absorption.

I use one cardboard box that is long and slim (so not square). I chose for this shape because it leaves me some arm space, hence it is set up in a V position. (When placed in a V shape, in a upright position, the cardboard box is stable leaving enough room for my hands to move objects i want to record) Its also makes it nice and slim, great when your traveling or doing field recordings. The other box is only used for the top/roof.

I used a handle from another box, nice sturdy plastic one. You can use any plastic handle thats sturdy enough. Want to know what type of microphone to use? see the wiki page.
