-_dup1 Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Does anyone have recommendations for good places to order inexpensive acoustic blankets? I need 'em occasionally for building a mini vocal booth out of mic stands... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioMaverick Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Thick moving blankets work just fine. I found some pretty decent ones at Target for about $12/ea. They were much better than the cheap ones I got from U-Haul :cool: I tried the microphone stand trick a few times. But, the was too much sound transfer back through he blankets for me. I made a couple of cheap panels using peg-board, a 1"*2" pine frame, and some carpet foam. This helped quite a bit for that little edge of attenuation. I'm a little behind on my web stuff... no pictures on the site. Check out this converted hallway, though... http://www.audiomaverick.com/tidbits/hallway.html "It's all about the... um-m-m, uh-h-h..."

[/b][/quote]I should clarify -- I wasn't really looking for sound isolation as in a real vocal [i]booth[/i]... I'm only looking to keep the room reflections to a minimum for recording vocals. The room I'll be recording some of the vocals in is a little bit on the big side, so I was going to hang acoustic blankets on the boom of four mic stands then have the vocal mic in the middle.
