Description
The Pocket Sound Booth™ reduces ambient sound received by a microphone; placing special high acoustic loss materials and structures between unwanted sound sources and your microphone. Basically, it alters and tightens the polar pattern of a microphone while making minimal changes to the near field on axis response.

The Pocket Sound Booth™ fits over your side-address studio microphone or axial (hand held) microphone and doesn't require any expensive hardware to do its job. Other products such as reflection filters cost around ten times as much as the Pocket Sound Booth™ and they block less than half of the ambient sound that the Pocket Sound Booth™ does.

The Pocket Sound Booth™ uses a quarter wave trap to reduce wavelengths that are 4 times the largest dimension of the Pocket Sound Booth™. The quarter wave trap allows open acoustic passage for the microphone being used in the Pocket Sound Booth™ to have minimal coloration.

Pop Filter and Wind Screen

The Pocket Sound Booth™ includes two variations of front filters if you need them. One filter is an extremely acoustically transparent and very effective turbulence filter (pop filter) and the other is a more conventional windscreen.

The system supports microphones of all polar patterns, some square type microphones are supported and other types can be fitted to with a few minor adjustments. The model PSB448 is 4" x 4" X 8". Voiceovers with a ribbon microphone and a Pocket Sound Booth™… big, smooth, silky and quiet!

An XLR extender might be needed for some shorter axial microphones. An XLR extender and Proximity Touch Up Filter™ (TUF) is also available for shorter microphones. This special microphone filter is passive and compensates for close microphone use (-3dB) without rolling off all of the lower bass. Most low cut filters “cut off” all the low bass (-12dB at 75Hz.).

The Pocket Sound Booth™ is made in America.
 
I guess it's another tool in the shed but not one I'd go grabbing for to use to often.
 
Destroys the designed pattern of the mic, may as well buy that $20 Karaoke mic, cup your hand around it and sing between your thump and forefinger.

I see. Just wanted to see if it was really any good or not lol.
 
I knew I had seen the idea before somewhere.

Or even better here ha ha ha.
 
If you want to try it out, you could probably do it yourself for a fraction of the price...
 
I waiting for the portable foam booth that fits over your head and the mic...the ultimate portable vocal booth! :laughings:
 
Well keep in mind it's rare I even track vocals in my acoustically treated room. Sometimes I'll just be sitting at my computer in the living room in my boxers, put any random condenser mic on a mic stand and just record, listen, adjust, record listen adjust etc. etc. etc. Once It's set up right I'll belch out gutturals until I think it sounds right :D

I was on facebook and saw and add for the product and just wanted to see what you guys would think of it lol

I don't eat the mic. I growl as loud as normal singing...
 
Hey...don't mind me....if you like that stuff, then do it! :)

Main reason it bugs me is 'cuz I can never understand what the singer is saying...

...does anyone? :D
 
I actually hopped over to Phil's site and had a bit of a listen.... couldn't understand the growling either, but clicked on the "lyrics" link and there they all were...

V. thoughtful!

Must admit I am curious as to the long term effects on your voice of singing in that style.
 
I just checked some out too.... :)

I gotta ask...
Is some of that stuff really meant as a serious message for the "followers"...or is it like anything else, you write "in the style" just to satisfy the audience?

Is "The Flatulator" more of a goof song...or is that a serious message?
"Blood runs down my butt crack"...??? :D

Hey...I'm sure you would think my song lyrics are silly. ;)
 
Yeah, I guess he's not too worried about the high-end.
 
Well it's supposed to be gross and funny. There isn't a message behind it and it's not something that you write for an audience. If you're going to play music like that you're doing it because you like it and you don't care what anyone else thinks about it. Of course not every song is as silly as the Flatulator, which is about Flagellation though Flatulence. If you want to get a message out of it a good one would be that it mocks religious extremists. There is even a few cover songs on there as well. Roky Erickson's Burn The Flames and Tom Petty's You got lucky. It's an abstract art. All in all it's just supposed to be fun horror music. Rejoicing in the cult classics of horror movies :D

Hey, I could've written that out of personal experience after using a high powered jet water bidet......
