PORTABLE STUDIO

20 FOOT CONTAINER STUDIO WITH ISO BOOTH. CAN TRANSPORT TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

* WIRE/ELECTRICAL: IT'S 24 GAUGE, 2 CONDUCTOR, W/ A FOIL SHIELD INSIDE OF A BRAIDED (NOT TWISTED OR WRAPPED) WIRE SHIELD. SO, IT'S KIND OF DOUBLE SHIELDED ACTUALLY... PRETTY TOUGH CABLE. THERE'S ALSO 2 PLASTIC CORDS INSIDE, I ASSUME FOR STRENGTH OR STRAIN-RELIEF, AND A NYLON STRAIN-RELIEF THREAD AS WELL. WE RAN EVERYTHING BALANCED WHEREVER POSSIBLE.

THERE ARE THREE DIMMERS IN MAIN ROOM AND 2 DIMMERS IN VOCAL BOOTH. THERE ARE 12 INPUTS IN MAIN ROOM AND 4 INPUTS IN VOCAL BOOTH. THERE IS A POWERED, 5-INPUT HEADPHONE AMP IN MAIN ROOM; AND A POWERED, 2 INPUT HEADPHONE AMP IN VOCAL BOOTH.

* DIMENSIONS/TREATMENTS/DESIGN: MAIN ROOM TAPERS FROM 11 FEET LONG TO 13 FEET LONG. WIDTH ALSO VARIES FOR ACOUSTIC REFLECTIONS, BUT IS ROUGHLY 6 FOOT 8 INCHES. THE VOCAL BOOTH IS 6 FOOT 8 INCHES LONG; WIDTH TAPERS FROM 4 FOOT 3 INCHES TO 5 FOOT 5 INCHES.

THE MAIN ROOM IS A MIXURE OF WOODS, INCLUDING OLD GROWTH PINE. IT IS A WARM SOUNDING ROOM THAT IS LIVE ON ONE END AND MORE CONTROLLED ON THE OTHER. IT GIVES A TON OF MIC-ING POTENTIAL. IT REALLY THRIVES WITH ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS (ACOUSTIC GUITARS SHINE). I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO WITHOUT THIS ROOM. THE ACOUSTICIAN DID A GREAT JOB WITH THIS ROOM. I LOVE IT.

VOCAL BOOTH IS A DEAD ENVIRONMENT. IT IS A GOOD SIZE BOOTH, THAT PROBABLY HAS MORE MONEY IN FOAM ON THE WALLS THAN I PAID FOR THE CONTAINER ITSELF.

BOTH ROOMS WERE DESIGNED BY ACOUSTICIAN, VINCENT PRAY FROM OREGON. (I ACTUALLY HIRED HIM TO DESIGN MY NEW STUDIO. HE DID A GREAT JOB.)

* CONSTRUCTION: STAGGER-STUD, 2X4 WALLS, FLOATED ON RUBBER; SHEET ROCK HUNG ON RESILIENT CHANNELING, NOT TOUCHING FLOOR OR CEILING; AND SEALED. ALL WALLS AND CEILING FILLED WITH BLOWS CELLULOSE INSULATION (DON'T HAVE NUMBERS, BUT VINCENT SAID IT WAS THE BEST THING NEXT TO SAND.)

* DELIVERY/PLACEMENT: IT WAS DELIVERED ON A SEMI AND ROLLED INTO PLACE ON METAL PIPES, THEN JACKED UP AND PLACED ON RUBBER TO ISOLATE IT FROM THE CEMENT. WE DID IT WITH THREE GUYS AND IT WENT IN LIKE BUTTER.
