Step by step demonstration of a one-man assembly of a 48"x48" Single Walled Whisper Room. Well, almost one manned.

As a recent buyer, a note: Having bought this from the company, delivered by truck and assembled by myself and a helper, the door and door frame arrive separately in the packaging. I made the terrible mistake of following the instructions and installing the frame first, securing it in place, and then installing the door. The door itself is VERY heavy, by far the heaviest piece in the whole set, and according to the assembly instructions your supposed it lift it in place, align it with the hinges on the frame, and drop it into place... problem is, your hand can't really be on the side of the door that the hinges are because there's not enough clearance for your hand, and the awkward shape and lack of good grip anywhere else meant I damn near killed myself trying to lift and get the cursed thing into place for 40 minutes until luck, elbow grease, and bullheadedness finally prevailed. My recommendation: Lay your door frame on the floor and put the door on it FIRST, then lift the entire frame piece, door and all, into place and secure as Mike did here. It might make installing the frame piece a whole hell of a lot heavier but I can assure you in the long run it will be a far smaller headache.... or back ache.

@@brianvanhook763bro I just had to move mine back downstairs. Alone. I’m like 120 let me tell you how fun it was to move the door ATTACHED cause it was stuck to that frame. What a good workout lmfao I got blisters bruh this thing is no joke heavy. Door, back panel with exhaust are the most heavy for sure. I used a pocket knife screwdriver

I made a sound booth myself from mdf and beams, it is insulated in three layers. the inside dimensions are W/D/H 200x160x220 cm, the construction of the sound booth cost me 1200 euros including the acoustic foam and carpet. because I built everything on my own, it took three weeks before it was completely ready. I made the sound booth so big because, I like to have some extra space around me.

Great video! You're very thorough with the assembly... and you confirmed that real men don't need to refer to an Assembly Manual! :) You really have it down! I did want to mention that when a new WhisperRoom is shipped the door is not attached to the door frame, so it's not as heavy or cumbersome. The door would slide into the hinges (pre-attached to the door frame) as one of the last steps (in the assembly manual). Love the video! Thanks, Mike!

Mike, just wanted to stop by and say thanks for posting this. I used it about 10 months ago in order to help set up my own whisper room that I had acquired used, and thus had no documentation. It saved my butt. One thing I want to mention to people who are considering doing this themselves. The sucker is HEAVY!!! I have the same model and size and I know you tried to convey that it took some work, but it makes sense to repeat. I took the booth pieces, from my driveway in a rented truck up 1 flight of stairs to where it resides now. We are about the same age and probably similar physical shape (though it seems you lost a ton of weight since this video congrat!) and I can tell you I've NEVER done that much lifting in my life. Dragging the door up the stairs was done through sheer force of will. As my friend Sean Daeley likes to say, "remember people, you're installing a SMALL ROOM".

For those that are curious, a Whisper Room can cost $12,000 USD (not counting shipping) so if you have some basic framing skills and $12,000+ is too much then just build one with some 2x4s and plywood and some good spongy material for inside. Even with current lumber prices it will be much cheaper plus you can use metal brackets and customize it more. The other benefit (for me anyway) is the pride of building it. Looking at something that you built makes it very special.
@emyhR Жыл бұрын
Yeah the prices of these booths are OUTRAGEOUS! Like I’m no cheapo here and I get the value of stuff but these booths should easily be half their price and I don’t understand why price of lumber is so high when it’s literally an almost unlimited supply of trees
@brianvanhook763 Жыл бұрын
I would say look online like Facebook market or offerup because people are selling them for a fraction of the price. I purchased someone’s for 2500 and it retailed at 17000.

We are aware that our Assembly video does not go into great detail. WhisperRooms are pretty easy to assemble (when following the assembly manual), and since we just don't get that many questions about the assembly, it hasn't been our top focus, but it's something to think about for sure!

Probably because when we ask questions, the answers are more confusing and it's just easier to try to figure it out ourselves, or leave a negative comment or rating. It's assumed if you can't give clear or complete instructions the first time, then you don't know either. So no point in asking.

Yes, Phillips bits are sizes by number. The most common size is #2. If the screws require a “fat” bit, you’re probably looking at a #3. As the size goes up, so does the number. Thanks for showing what a Whisper Room is made of and how it’s designed. Considering the MSRP of theses, they seem like a HUGE rip off, IMO. MDF is what my kitchen cabinets are made of. I did a bit of homework on that material and didn’t find them to be recognized for any acoustic ability. Just a cheap wood product. The best parts of the WR seem to be the door and window. Not convinced they’re worth thousands of dollars, though. This video helped me make up my mind. I’m building my own booth. 5’x5’ with 6” insulation all around. Combo of OC-703 and Applegate cotton battes in the walls.

The 4x4 is fine, I've gotten used to it, but it gets hot in there pretty fast, and the ventilation is not usable when I record. I'd always appreciate more space. But sound wise, I'm happy with the 4x4 for about 95% of my work. it's only when I have to get REALLY loud that the size of the booth starts to change the sound.

Using Reafir or something like that? If no, what is the distance between Booth wall and the fan? Hope I am communicating. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Totally does. I pretty much never use the fan, it creates a low rumble that the mic totally picks up. I'm mulling over how to fix it, and if I do you can be sure there will be a video for it.

I would definitely not disassemble once assembled, due to the fact it's made out of cheap MDF. You can only screw into MDF so many times, before it wallows out. Then it's worthless! These seem too expensive for such cheap material.
@BoothJunkie3 жыл бұрын
You're not screwing into the MDF itself, there are threaded nuts to bolt into. Those could strip, but it's not like screwing right into MDF at all. These are made to be reassembled.

@@BoothJunkie I understand, but if the nuts are in the MDF they could wallow out over time. If it's reassembled repeatedly. I've never had a good experience with MDF. They're quite expensive, I just think you could build out a room for the same amount. They're definitely a nice product and seem well made. They're are pros and cons to everything, knowing my lucky they'd crap out on me. Great video though, glad you showed people what it's like to put together.
