4 x 4 x 8 will work for a vocal booth. It's a tight fit. And it can get toasty in there without ventilation. What did you discover that turned you off from using MDF?

Your recording club and the mic in question . . . is it just for recording music and one vocalist at a time, or will you be recording groups of people like the choir or band, or the drama department where several people might need to share the mic?

Have you been to Tom's Hardware for computer component reviews? http://www.tomshardware.com/ They've tested some water cooling systems. I've read plus and minus on water cooling a cpu, though. An external pump may make as much noise as a cpu fan. Zalman makes some quiet, heatsink style...

Gotta go with Chessparov on the EV635a - probably the most durable, rock solid mic out there.

frederic - Those muffin fans you mentioned, any particular brand or source?

What's your source of Phantom power for the mic? Will you need to also buy a power source or preamp along with the mic? If you have to purchase a preamp, too, will you have additional budget for that item or will that money come out of the mic budget? As far as mics, I've used : Rode NT1A -...

I'm kinda interested in the frequency response. Like, is it around 60-1,100 lps (logs per hour)

The Blue Mouse certainly has a distinctive look . . . kinda in the same league, lookwise, as the Gefell UM900.

I agree with your choices, in that same order. The CAD is only about $80. I like that ALOT! And thanks for the compliment on the voice. I agree, a complete test would have included AT4047 along with a couple of others such as AKG414 and a Studio Projects C1. As for the RE20 and SM7, I've...

bgavin: your 'descriptive term' is the highest compliment a voice-over person can receive. Thanks! I agree, loudness is different. But I left the files as-is. I am too subjective to tweak the sound.

I was considering making the jump to a Neumann TLM103. I found a local studio that had a couple of mics I was interested in (Slaughtehouse Studio in Hadley, Massachusetts) along with the Neumann. I brought my own mics and we ran some comparisons. If you are interested in my less than...

Of the dynamic mics, the RE20 and SM7 are the mics most commonly found in the broadcast studio. I like the Sennheiser MD421, too. Then you get into condensor mics. For home recording, you have a lot of options in a huge price range. I spent some time in a studio recently and had a chance...

I worked in radio for quite a few years and have worked with the RE20, SM5, SM7, and MD421 (and the reporters friend, the RE635). For dynamic mikes, my preference is (in order): MD421 SM5 SM7 The MD421 run through a Urei LA-4 compressor was my favorite setup. I never cared for the RE20...

I've used a CAD Global Audio GXL2400 for some voice over projects and it's been pretty impressive for the price. It runs between $70-80 new on eBay. I've been working with an MXL V67g lately. It sounds pretty good. Still trying to get the best settings. For $199, there's the Rode NT1-A. A...

Here's a link that explains a lot regarding 'phone patches'. http://www.audiotheater.com/phone/phone.html Because of impedence issues between audio equipment and telephone equipment, you'll need a device to match things up. Basically, there are couplers that offer either send or receive...

What type of foam? Was it a specific acoustic foam or other type, such as dense upholstery or shipping? I used 1" Auralex and that took almost half the budget, the total being $450 ($200 for the Auralex). One other question; ventilation? How do you push air through it while keeping down...

What is EPS? Foam? What are your planned dimensions? And will you be seperating panels to allow an air gap between them walls or double them up?

The wall the door sits on is framed with 2x4's. The door, when shut, sits tight against the 2x4s. It won't pass the waterproof test, but it works in my environment. I use eye hooks on the top and bottom of the door to get a tight seal. Crude but effective. I took my design and materials que...

Here's a link to some pictures: http://www.anthonymedia.com/booth/booth.htm The odor I mentioned comes from formaldahyde used in the manufacture of the the fiberboard. It's been known to cause throat irritation in some people. Two coats of polyurethene were recommended to contain the odor...

Built a booth I just finished building a booth. 40"x46". It cost about $450. It's in my basement. I only do voice over work so sound getting out was not the issue; I needed something where I could sit and read commercials and narration. I do need to add ventalation, though I can get by for...
