ISOVOX 2: Bring the Vocal Booth to You

0Share

As recording technology has become more accessible and more affordable, the likelihood of recording vocals in an acoustically untreated place has become increasingly high. Singers, rappers, voice-over artists, and narrators want to record in the comfort of their own places whenever it’s convenient for them, but they want the sort of sound quality typically attributed to purpose-built studios. ISOVOX 2 is a portable acoustic-isolation system designed to be a personal vocal booth that can be easily moved from room to room.

The core idea is simple: put your voice in a box! Just set it and your mic on a speaker stand, then pop into the ISOVOX 2. Seriously thick sound absorption material is shaped into acoustic panels, which are arranged on all sides. If you don’t want to be completely boxed in, you can remove the side panels and flip up the back. Each side has a cutaway to prevent restricting shoulder movement. There’s also a sleek light strip that provides illumination against the panel behind the microphone. Once set up and comfortable, you’ll find the isolation to be two-way. The level of indirect sound, such as room reflections and bleed from other instruments is significantly reduced, leaving you with a controlled, dry, and focused vocal tone. Also, the level of outgoing direct sound is greatly attenuated. Why is that noteworthy? The result is less vocal bleed being picked up by other microphones or heard by unsympathetic neighbors.

Setup and tear-down of the ISOVOX 2 will not be a challenge, due to its zippers and touch-fastener assembly. So, if zippers aren’t your Achilles’ heel, you can even bring the ISOVOX2 when you travel. If you must record in a hotel room or someone else’s house, you can achieve a consistently clear vocal sound. You may find that once you have a solid raw vocal tone void of room modes and reflections, the mixing process becomes easier. You can spend less time fighting with bleed and room sound and more time being creative.

Whether you work in a large, reverberant space or a small, untreated room, the ISOVOX 2 can help you in your quest to deliver solid vocal sounds. Stop by the B&H SuperStore or check out our website to investigate the ISOVOX 2!
