With a few extra hands, stand your walls up and connect them with the L brackets and screws. Make sure to check out Part 1 & Part 2 of our war driving, Skype Calling, TV Recording Geek Scooter Build. You can also see our Geek Scooter in the background. If you attach the hinges with the boards laying down it is easier to stand up and assemble. Here we have our panels with the foam attached to them all ready for assembly. If yours is adjustable you will want to adjust it to leave space for the compressed foam under it so that it doesn't accidentally cut it. Most staple guns have adjustable depth to accommodate for different staple sizes.

Take the foam panels and use a staple gun to attach them to the board. We use a handful of different pieces of hardware for this build that are all easily available at your local hardware store. We simply cut a hole in the top, hot glued it in place and used a compact florescent bulb to keep heat to a minimum in our small, enclosed and well-insulated box. To keep with the theme of cheap we used an $8.00 aluminum clam shell light from our local home improvement store. With the door closed the booth gets very dark inside, so we installed a light. This material can range greatly in price but you can start your booth at about $2.00 – $5.00 per square foot. We chose to use an open cell foam based product that is cut in 2’ X 4’ panels produced by Auralex. The key component for your sound booths effectiveness will be the sound proofing material. To save some time you can have your local home improvement store cut the pieces for you. Here is a simple diagram to clearly illustrate the box layout.įor this project we recommend using 1/2 inch to 5/8ths inch plywood. The overall construction of the sound booth is very simple. Additionally there is a bonus with this simple design in that the sound booth can be collapsed to save space.įor this project you will need a drill, jigsaw, staple gun and razor blade. This is a great project if you need a sound booth with excellent sound quality on a budget.

Today we will be going over the ThoughtLab “High Quality Sound Booth on The Cheap” project.

For those times, and for every other at home audiophile we have a solution! When still in the concept phase of video production it doesn't always make sense to rent time in a professional studio just to hear the first draft of your ideas. Here at ThoughtLab we typically focus on Website Design, and Digital Marketing but from time to time we require voice-overs for the videos we produce.
