Subject: Re: information on an economical voiceover booth solution
Here is what I would do if you want general quality. You can go to extremes
if you want but build a small 4' x 4' "room" out of plywood. You could add
a cheap door if you want OR depending where you have this, just build three
sides and have the open side backed up a foot from a wall for entry.
Pad all of it with Sonex or Auralex foam, including the wall should you
keep the booth open. (If you have noise in the room you need a door). Try
out your mic, or go with the broadcast standard Shure SM-7 ($350). Drop an
xlr cable in there and you are good to go.
As for building the room, You could buy 3, 3/4", 4'x8' panels and 1 of the
same that you have them cut in half. Using the two halves as the top and
bottom just screw it all together. If your ceiling is 8', then have Home
Depot cut the 3 panels down to 7' or so.
[ RF: On the off chance that Home Depot has not made it to Sweden yet, most
hardware stores will do this for you. ]
There are many ways to do this. That was my quick answer...
