Directions on how to use the Micro Mic Stand with the Carry-on Vocal Booth Pro
Good Posture For Using A Vocal Booth like the Carry-on Vocal Booth
by Dr. Ann Utterback, AVoiceDoc
One thing to keep in mind when using the Carry-On Vocal Booth at home or in a car or truck (or even when you’re in a sound booth) is your posture. Slumping forward, as many of us do everyday when using our computers, tablets, e-readers or phones, puts more pressure on the diaphragm (the main muscle used for breathing). This makes it more difficult to take good inhalations, and the effects on the voice from poor breathing are immediate. Over time this position can also cause back pain. (For more on proper breathing, see my website at www.OnlineVoiceCoaching.com.)

Why Acoustic Foam Sounds Boxy or Boomy: Comparing Portable Vocal Booths
Why does acoustic foam sound “boxy” or “boomy”?
We hear this statement from more and more people who have tried foam-based portable vocal booths and then switched over to our portable Carry-on Vocal Booth Pro. The Carry-on utilizes Producer’s Choice Blankets, and because of this, the end product is a much better sound.
According to seasoned voice over actors who have had an opportunity to experience different options, the foam-line portable vocal booths as well as the full-size (walk-in) mobile vocal booths, tend to result in a “boxy’ or “boomy” sound. After testing the Carry-on Vocal Booth Pro, they realized that sound is “dead-on” resulting in a clearer and better recording quality.
It is easy to see why the Carry-on Vocal Booth beats foam based portable vocal booths in the area of portability, ease of set-up, practicality, longevity and durability. However, the most important part of a vocal booth – the sound quality — needed some investigation.

Tips and Tricks for Using Producer’s Choice Acoustic Sound Blankets
Sound blankets are an effective and economical alternative to acoustic foam. In other articles, we discuss the cost efficiency of acoustic sound blankets versus acoustic foam, superior acoustic quality as well as the versatility of applications. This article, however, was triggered by a question of the DVX user forum:
“I haven’t been able to get much feedback on this subject but does anyone have tips or tricks for sound blankets?
Indeed, acoustic blankets might seem like a simple product, and yet if used properly, you can get more for your money than with using acoustic foam. It is also a misconception to think that the blankets are simply a “cheaper” alternative — and if you can afford, you should use acoustic foam instead.
On the contrary, Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets have been successfully used by professional film makers with multimillion-dollar budgets such as Century 21 Studios, HBO, and other professional film and music studios worldwide.
So, how do you use acoustic blankets effectively? Here are some tips and tricks to using Producer’s Choice blankets.

Acoustic Foam vs Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets: Comparing Cost Efficiency
In the environments that require good sound control, there is a constant search for the most efficient and most reliable products. It is etched in our brains that effective products do not come cheap, and that you have to pay big for effective results.
But is it really so?
We all want to have the best equipment, the best recording studios and the best vocal booths. Sometimes, the only way to do this is to go through the process of trial and error of finding the best product. But by doing this, a lot of time and money get wasted in the process.

Soundproof(er) Booth 3 X 3 Used As A Practice Room
Portable Soundproof(-er) sound booth SB33 is designed to be used in apartments, houses or any place where sound isolation is important. Design first with the voice over actors and audio recording producers in mind this booth works very well for music practice. In this video we tested it if it provides sufficient sound reductions to be used as a Practice room for playing Trumpet. This is a real customer. She wanted to make sure that the sound reduction would be sufficient to play her trumpet at home. She expected the sound level will be around or below 70 dB ( loudness of working TV at normal sound level). She played as loud as she could…..
Results were extremely exciting! She got the booth, I got the sale and HUGE portion of dopamine release, seeing that our product really works and delivers affordable and effective solutions. This booth is 40L x40W x 80H. Includes specially constructed Sound Block layer with sound dampening layer and plus acoustic blankets for completely dead and non-boomy acoustics.

Reducing the Noise from Dogs in Kennels and Shelters . . . Using Sound Blankets
Reducing the Noise from Barking Dogs in Kennels and Shelters
It has long been documented that audible sound has profound physiological and psychological effects on all animals and can disturb the healthy equilibrium of the body.
This also means that noise affects pets – especially those who are boarded in animal shelters and kennels that are too noisy from barking dogs. The noise can be a physical stressor, especially on dogs, and can lead to behavioral, physiological, and anatomical responses.
In the article published in American Journal of Veterinary research, “Effects of Kennel Noise on Hearing in Dogs,” the authors found that acoustic analysis of the kennel environments revealed equivalent sound level values ranging between 100 and 108 dB sound pressure level .

Review of Acoustic Blankets Mounting Tracks
I suggest you to take the blankets to a Laundromat and wash in a commercial washer with regular amount of detergent. Do not put too much detergent, because your blankets will start smelling like Laundromat!
Then dry them in a tumble dry at high heat.I suggest to go through several 12 minutes cycles, so you can straighten up the blanket in between the drying cycles.
