Snap Studio XL Portable Vocal Booth, Recording & Voice Over, Reduces Echo

Does what it says on the tin. The difference was evident when I ran a meter inside it showing around a 4db drop in general volume compared to outside the booth but importantly for me is the proof in the pudding -Aswell as blocking problematic room reverberations it completely removes the general background soup of noise of distant traffic etc, allowing me to record at much higher gain and get a cleaner and more dynamic take from a Rode condenser mic that was otherwise not really useable in this room. Its not going to save the day if the neighbours dogs start barking, or a car alarm goes off mid take, but its not claiming to do that. Mine did arrive with an incorrect component but Snap were amazing and sent me a replacement part by courier immediately along with a little freebie for my troubles, probably the best 'mistake' response ive had from an online seller. Its super easy to erect and collapse too

It's been excellent. My recordings are much cleaner; I needed a dedicated space that I can eventually reinforce and make much quieter so I do not disturb the neighbors when recording. The snap studio was the right investment on that regard. To be clear the snap studio does not promise soundproofing; thus you will need to invest in more blankets, maybe some rock wool if you want to achieve close to nothing sound seepage. The package was very good. Came with a thoughtful message as well. Was it too expensive? Well that depends totally on your budget and how much have a recording space means to you. It's a great product.

myself and my partner set it up in a day easily (i'm not usually good with that stuff) - you can notice the difference straight away once stepping inside. I have yet to check the sound floor officially with my DAW yet so i'll update if anything is off but really is a big difference already. I really like the cool rechargeable LED strip lights that come with it too, nice touch. Well made product and would recommend.

This arrives in a large brown cardboard box measuring approx 37cm x 37cm x 1m2cm and it's heavy. If you are a strapping bloke you'll be able to carry it just fine. My delivery man took one look at me at the door (5ft 6" middle aged woman), sighed and lifted it up into my front hall for me. It weighs just over 20kg, but it's unwieldy due to the size/shape. If I had to, I could move it from A to B, but I'd be moaning the whole way and it had better not be far. I move bags of sand and cement when I have to, but even though they weigh more, they are actually easier to lift as they are so much more compact. Inside the box, you get the frame, the covers (including a piece for the floor), the bits to help support the top, the small hanging light, the smart device mount, a red envelope with black and white photo + text assembly instructions and a bag that can just about fit everything in if you want to pack it up as long as you fold it all neatly. It is simple enough to put together, although if you are not the tallest you'll need a step stool to do the top of it and once assembled it not to bad if you want to push it across the floor so I'd recommend assembling it close to the place you want to use it. The little light it comes with has 3 light levels and is rechargeable, so you don't need to buy any batteries to use it. It comes with a very short charging cable and it's one of the older style connections (USB micro, the one with a flat side and a curve) which I wasn't impressed with. I expect new things to come with USB-C cables nowadays. I got this to record scratch tracks in, where it doesn't really matter that much if the sounds a bit rough but I'd rather it was better. The room is fairly echoey, but it gets used as a living room too so I didn't want to put up acoustic tiles on the wall as they just don't look that great to me - I know there are more attractive solutions, but they cost a lot more than this little booth and you can't take them with you if you move. I've been really impressed with how much background noise this cuts out and it makes cleaning up sounds much easier. It isn't going to stop you hearing doors slamming/cars beeping etc..., but those smaller background noises you never notice until you play back a recording are significantly diminished. I'm not a sound engineer and I usually only record scratch tracks for animations, or recordings I take to a studio and get a pro to clean up for audiobooks. Sometimes I'll record an interview and sort it myself but I'd call myself an amateur. I have my mic clipped to a clamp around one of the uprights with the lead threaded out at a corner between the side panels, with everything else outside the booth - if you have your mic on a stand with a tripod base you might feel a bit cramped inside (it's worth measuring out the floor area to see if you will feel comfortable in there, especially if you gesture when singing/speaking.) My sound guy tells me this has cut out a good 70% of those background noises and echoes from having untreated walls, so it has massively improved the quality of my recordings. If you live in rented accommodation and can't acoustically treat the space, or if you don't have a dedicated space where you can leave recording gear set up, this is an excellent solution to your problem. It might feel expensive, but it solves your problem in one large duffel bag. It feels reassuringly solid and well made, can be taken down and reassembled many times if you need to do that, and it really does make a difference that you can actually hear on a recording. When it's in the duffel bag, it takes up a tiny bit less space than the box it arrives in, so if you plan to store it, you might want to think about where. I'm impressed with this and feel it was worth the price I paid (I got it on offer with 10% off). Really worth considering if you want to improve sound quality without breaking the bank.

Perfect for what I need it for easy to assemble and cuts all the reverb I kind of prefer this than completely sound proof as sometimes with sound proof you loose a natural sound this is really dope and is perfect for me Nice one snap studio

Amazing bit of kit!

I don't usually write Amazon reviews but really wanted to recommend this product - clear instructions, easy assembly and perfect for a little at-home sound booth. Thank you!

Does what it says on the tin, an excellent product.

I've been using the SnapStudio Ultimate Vocal Booth for my home studio recordings, and here's what I think: Pros: Sound Isolation: The vocal booth does an excellent job of reducing echo and external noise. My recordings have a much cleaner sound, which is perfect for vocals and voiceovers. I love the fact there is not only a top but also a bottom to the booth, clearly limiting as much echo as it can for the cost. Portability: It's genuinely portable and easy to set up. I can move it around my home studio or even take it to different locations without much hassle. The included bag is also a great addition and makes the setup and takedown a seamless process. Build Quality: The materials used are high-quality and durable. The booth feels sturdy and well-constructed, which is reassuring for frequent use. The thickness of the cloth is also great, allowing for ample sound dampening for recordings. Cons: Size: While it's portable, it’s still quite large when set up. It takes up a significant amount of space, so make sure you have enough room in your recording area. Obviously if you are looking for a booth, the hope is that you have some revenue being made already, so don't buy this unless you are serious about improving your craft. Ventilation: The booth can get a bit stuffy during long recording sessions. There's not much ventilation, so it can get warm inside. Maybe it is due to my small LED light I have hooked up inside, but LEDs are known to produce minimal heat, so I think it truly is just the booth doing its job of keeping what's inside...in, and outside....out. Price: It's a bit pricey for what it offers. While the quality is there, it might be a substantial investment for those just starting out or on a tight budget. Worth the price in my opinion, but that is up to you. Overall, the SnapStudio Ultimate Vocal Booth is a great addition to any home studio setup if you're looking for effective sound isolation and portability. Just be prepared for its size and the potential need for additional ventilation. EDIT: Added some pics

Solo funciona para detener el eco de una habitacion, no esta insonorizada, asi que funciona muy bien para lo que esta hecha, aunque la calidad es normal, la luz que incluyen es un foco led exrtaño que lastima y alumbra, pero tiembla mucho, consegui unas lamparas led que funcionan mejor y las remplaze, el cuerpo es de pvc y es solido en color negro, la tela es puro algodon, pero hay residuos de algodon en la tela, tuve que limpiarlo con recoge pelusas, fuera de eso funciona exactamente como se anuncia, el stand es bueno y cabe mi ipad y mi iphone, deberia tener un hoyo donde pasar los cables del microfono, aun asi esta bien.

I had previously wasted money trying to sound treat my room and even making a DIY project of this. It wasnt worth it at the end of the day, wasted almost a thousand or more. For less quality than this product. They make it so easy to carry all things considered. I had 2 duffel bags one with heavy pvc and the other with sound foam. It was hectic to do move around with and ultimately fell apart. This product is a slight workout to set up giving that the blankets are weight but everything was great when I installed it on my own. Be careful to not scratch the pipes with the metal hooks they give you. Tbh thats the one thing I'd leave as a review for this company, the metal rods can scratch the pipes when installing, other than that its so worth it to just buy this and have everything handled for you. They even send the product with a printed guide for setting everything up. The shipping was great although a little dusty but everything came in properly. Highly recommend. Note, use this in a cool area it can get really sweaty while setting it up or inside the booth. Edit: Still a great product for removing echoes and getting clean vocals, just one main flaw. The bands needed to keep the upper area holding is a design issue and product issue. It bends the holding side and makes it difficult to set up and or take down. Its still doable ofc and doesnt heavily distort but u will notice that two parallel sides will be bent/un even. Im sensing it will probably be the first thing to fail if ever but the product build other than that its still a great product HIGHLY recommend.

Isole moyennement bien mais le rendu est largement acceptable. Si vous avez des voisins ils entendront les bribes d’une conversation de fond (à condition de pas faire de hard rock à 4h du matin 😅). Excellente qualité sonore à l’intérieur c’est parfait, pas muddy horrible comme les « box » à micro d’inconnues, c’est parfait franchement. Les puristes diront peut être du mal du rendu audio mais l’auditeur moyen n’entendra aucunement la différence par rapport à un studio pro avec un bon EQ. Sinon l’intérieur est agréable est spacieux. J’ai la place d’ajouter ma grand tige de micro ainsi qu’une petite table surélevée pour mettre le pc portable et m’enregistrer. Des mois que je l’utilise est c’est niquel franchement. Mais si vous cherchez une isolation max allez vers des modèles + onéreux ou bien en vrai studio.

Before you get started, yes, you COULD build something similar yourself. Yes, you COULD do all the PVC framing and buy some acoustic blankets to butcher up to hang on it. But really, after doing the math, it was worth getting this prefab system that is made to be portable and easy to assemble and disassemble. If I need to move this to a different room later, I'm not ripping it all apart only to reattach it all in an annoyingly long montage later. Frame is light, solid, and durable. Blankets are fantastic quality, already grommeted, and well fitted to the size of the frame. There are hooks already in place. Everything is just easy. This isn't intended to be soundproof. This functions as sound treatment for your room, not as a cure all for a noisy neighborhood. Reviewers who were expecting otherwise misunderstood the intention of this design. I'm looking forward to being to do any voice over that is louder than polite indoor speaking volume without the terrible metallic reflections from my walls and corners. A word of warning: yes it gets hot in there. Take regular water and stretch breaks. This materials do have a "new" smell but it's minimal (I've experienced far worse fumes from foam tiles).
