So as a carpenter, musician and sound engineer, I'm always coming up with DIY designs for the studio. I'm thinking that there are a lot of folks out there who might be interested in this unique design for an iso-box. I was producing and engineering blues guitarist Carson Downey's new album - recording live off the floor - and needed a way to eliminate the bleed between drums and guitar. So I designed this insulated box with a 10" JBL speaker with a Shure SM 57 mic with an Orange Micro-Terror 20 watt RMS.
Built with 3/4" mdf and lined with 1 1/2" rigid insulation, the iso-box works perfectly, minimizing bleed between instruments. We liked the sound so much that we decided to use it for the entire album. It's an original design and if you are recording and need more isolation for your guitar amp sound, call me and I'll build you one!!
