Broadcast Quality Soundproof Studio
Alex is proudly working out of his custom built, professional studio booth
Hand crafted in Munich, Germany, this StudioBox Premium booth has been used as a studio to record the voices on cartoons for the BBC for over a decade.
The quality of the sound insulation is unrivalled; external sound is reduced -53 dB and this creates a reliable, permanently usable workplace, perfect for voice work.
Three different absorbers and reflectors ensure a low, controlled reverberation time in the booth, they are mounted at an angle of 6-9° and the slanted walls and window panes ensure no parallel surfaces to keep reflections to an absolute minimum; this prevents flutter echoes that can occur due to back and forth reflections between parallel walls.
There is no “dead space effect” in a StudioBox Premium space.
Unique Modifications
Several modifications have been made to ensure the absolute optimum quality from the space.
Custom built premium sound absorption panels added to cover all screens when not in use – With an NRC of 0.96 and αw of 0.92, these acoustic panels effectively reduce noise, echoes, and standing waves (98% removal rate), effectively reducing sound reflection and echo, and improving sound purity and clarity.
All internal wooden surfaces surrounding the door have been covered with the same material.
The white plastic boxes for the ventilation system have also been covered. All efforts have been made to ensure there are no reflective surfaces throughout the booth.
