Hi Guys, I just would like to know if the problem I’m having is normal. I recently had a 10 x 24 vocal both constructed within my 24x 24 studio. The guy that built knew what he was doing. He used the usual gypsum drywall—4inch Pink fiberglass—then Gypsum drywall procedure. He placed 1 inch sponge on the final gypsum wall and then covered the sponge with a thick fabric.

However, here is the problem.

If someone speaks, sings or screams from inside of the booth, the engineer in the control room would not hear a thing. (I am very Impressed with that side of it)

However, for some strange reason, the person in the vocal booth can hear everything from the control room loud and clear even if a pin drops.

My question is, isn’t a vocal booth supposed to work both ways??? It is properly sealed inside out.. no leaks.

I must say that the control room walls aren’t treated with anything.. is this a factor?

Please someone give me a scientific reason for this.

You know...if you smoke too much crack, things like that start to happen.

Sorry...are you serious???are you sure? That sure sounds strange. It could have to do with how the "engineers" room is treated vs. how the inside of the vocal booth is treated.
 
One way sound transmission? I can see a lot of potential for it but I have never heard of it anywhere else.
 
Is there a mic on in the control room maybe coming threw the headphones?? because thats impossible.

That's what i was thinking :D
 
I think you're gonna have to turn off that diesel generator in the corner of the control room and find a different power source.

Freaking hilarious!!!! I was going to ask, "Was the person wearing headphones?" The crack comment was way better. Kudos!!
 
the desk could have a built in talkback mic that's engaged, some of them lock when depressed.
