Studio Build Part 3 “Vocal Booth”
The vocal booth, after many hours of research, I decided that the floor will be a solid concrete floor, carpeted with a raised built in wooden ceiling.
Inside of the booth, installed shelves to store all microphones, and anything else required for inside the booth use.
Installed into the booth for air flow, fan silencer exhaust box, to damper the sound of the cooling fans. The vocal booth has its own cooler system to keep the inside at a reasonable temperature for comfort. This cooler is controlled from inside the booth and can be switch on and off as required.
RECORDING box light a nice to have, of which can be controlled by a switch from within the booth.
The booth hosts is own 18 channel mixing console cabled into the DAW system via Samson Patch Panels. Hosting acoustic instruments in the booth via a cable box into the Main mixing console, outside of the booth. These cables do go via the patch panels which enables you to use them for other recording facilities and instruments.
The headset connections are connected to the DAW system into a 8 channel headphone controller. This controller can give headset via cable and/or headset via wireless units. Headset controller is linked into a Samson Patch Panels and can be used to split the sound on a stereo headset to music in one side and vocals in the other.
A duplicate computer screen installed in the booth, with wireless keyboard/mouse set, to monitor and control the DAW system. This is used to start and stop the DAW, for the ability to use the studio alone.
After completing the vocal booth build, realized that the final arrangement of the studio equipment, needed to add an addition window, in the studio door for better visibility to the sound engineer. Had to remove the door, redo the mid section and install a glass.
