MiniMegaPac Drum Isolation Booth | ClearSonic

The ClearSonic MiniMegaPac drum isolation booth is an easy way to effectively enclose and isolate drums, vocalists, horns, or other instruments. ClearSonic isolation booths utilize our drum shields and sound absorption baffles in combination to improve sound quality in large spaces with reverberation, such as houses of worship, theatres and stages, and live performance venues. They are also great for practicing an instrument at home as well as many other non-music settings, such as translation or podcasting, where audio clarity is important.
The total sound reduction after setting up the MiniMega is approximately 16dB (about 50% reduction of perceived volume). An omnidirectional microphone was used and placed approximately 12 ft. from the drums. No volume or gain settings were adjusted. A door is located on either side of the booth, where the back drum shield meets the front drum shield.
Please visit www.clearsonic.com/products/m... or contact one of our dealers for more information regarding our drum shields, portable sound isolation, and sound absorption products.

My left ear loved this video

[@ASAPSnipin]

+Will Gaines Oh hi Will nice to see you here...

[@willgaines5269]

+Ben sup dude

+Will Gaines the ceiling

[@andrewt248]

Man, I can say from experience, it gets HOT in there with no fan or fresh air circulation of some kind!

[@MrDrumbum911]

Can you get one with a small fridge for beer a bathroom and an air conditioner

[@WilliamEGD]

I was so wrapped up in the vid at first I hardly noticed that guys awesome beard.

[@JemTheBullfrog]

They're great to use. We got ours from ashdown av who I believe are the dealers in the UK for Clearsonic.

[@yebwulebdullah]

omg! That is clearly very quick and easy to do ....

[@JarodGrimmMusic98]

rockin that 7/8

[@PizzaJokesAreCheesy]

I want one of those!

[@clearsonicmfg]

It is possible for one person to set up the booth, but it is easier with two. The acrylic shields are about 100lbs, so you'll want to use a dolly to move those any distance. Everything else is very light and easy to set-up and tear down.

[@clearsonicmfg]

You simply slide one of the Sorber panels out of the way. More info is available on our website and a picture of the door explanation is under the "Frequently asked questions" tab. Thanks.

[@stephenhunter70]

It was only when the roof went on that the sound level dropped. One of my biggest gripes with drum shields is they only deflect the sound not reduce it. Putting the drums out of sync with the rest of the band. This one works, it actually does what it claims to do!

[@JemTheBullfrog]

@jjlwis The panels have notches cutout at the corners so cables can run through without getting crushed. The bigger packs have a fan supplied with them and to access, you just slide one of the panels.

[@6project6nightmare6]

cool 7/8 groove

[@ZMan14100]

AWESOME, but how do you get out?

[@PSColdFire]

Which of your products would you recommend for voice-over? I want to record dry vocals and I certainly don't want to disturb any neighbors in the apartment (especially during night-time recording)

[@clearsonicmfg]

I would recommend one of our smaller isolation booths like the IsoPac E, F, G, or J: www.clearsonic.com/collections/megapac

[@mrwilljams]

Im thinking of buying one of these for my home recording.

[@MrRKDrums]

It would be great to see similar video demos of the IsoPac A and B as well to compare. I'm really interested in an isolation booth but unfortunately won't be able to afford the Minimega.

[@BassJunkysAnonymous]

As much as I would love to get this, for almost $3200, it's just not worth it to me. Could someone explain how these materials cost as much as a small car? Is it a supply and demand thing or are they really that labor intensive to make?

[@clearsonicmfg]

We found compressed fiberglass inside our Sorber jackets works much better than foam. You can purchase directly from us or one of our many US and international dealers. Thanks!

[@rizkitamilenia]

So? It can be a soundproof too?

[@bogdandjordjevic9947]

Hello I have a 3 in 1 question ;) 1. How much is the thickness of the acryilic panels and are there holes in it to pass through the sound or the panels are completely closed? 2. From which materials are sound absorbers, could it be used something like thick sponge or mineral wool? Thank you!

[@clearsonicmfg]

Thanks, I can only count to seven, so it's easy for me!

[@clearsonicmfg]

Our acrylic panels are 1/4" thick and once assembled are plenty stable. However we do not recommend using them outside in tornado like conditions.

[@clearsonicmfg]

Care must be taken to ensure that enclosed musicians have an effective way to hear other musicians, vocalists, etc. This might require the addition of a stage monitor speaker, headphone monitor, or an "in the ear" monitor. Because of an increase in volume levels on the musician side of the panel, an enclosed musician would be wise to use some type of effective ear protection or monitor on headphones.

[@danabe8888]

how do you get in or out?

[@jacobmichaelmusic6938]

minor problem, how do u get in or out

[@clearsonicmfg]

+Jacob Stoner You use the panels of the booth as a door. The door can be on either the right or left side of the booth (where the back shield meets the front shield). You simply pull the back panel open, step in, and pull it closed behind you. Please follow this link to our website for visual aid: www.clearsonic.com/assets/door%20explanation.jpg

[@Jeschneider]

Please explain your conclusion of 50% reduction in volume with only a mere 16db reduction from 93db. Also - most all advertisements for the mini and mega state 60%-70% reduction. I'm considering a purchase of the mini and am very interested regarding these questions - thanks.

[@clearsonicmfg]

The 60-70% rating is based on the decibel logarithmic scale, which goes up and down in powers of 10. A decrease in decibels from 93 to 83 means the sound is 10 times quieter, or roughly half as loud. A decrease to 73 decibels would be 100 times quieter, or a quarter as loud. Since the final decibel rating in the video does not quite reach down to 73 db, we rate between a 50-100% reduction of decibels (volume reduction) at around 60-70%. Please refer to the linked article for some more information about how the decibel scale works: www.explainthatstuff.com/soundlevelmeters.html.

[@Jeschneider]

Ok thanks a lot! Appreciate it.

[@krlosvitev]

Could you say me the acoustic material name? Not the acrilic, the other one, please.

[@clearsonicmfg]

The absorption panels are called Sorber. We sell them in a range of sizes. (www.clearsonic.com/sorber.htm) They work just as well as wall treatment in a room with too much reflection as they do to control volume and bleed in our isolation booths.

[@jjlwis]

is there room for cables, and mic stands? lets say for over heads? no door, must get hot in there...

[@Espligo]

That guy's beard must be soaking up a few dB !

[@grooveDrummer5]

how much does this cost and how loud would it be in an apartment.

[@waterkeeper03]

how about the sound inside the booth? gotta put mics on the drum

[@shaneshrimp6519]

I live in a mobile home park and feel I am limited to practicing would this be good for me?

[@clearsonicmfg]

Hi Shane, yes this could be a good solution for you depending on how much space you have to spare. Since you are in a smaller space, you might have more success by treating your walls with just our Sorber baffles: clearsonic.com/sorber.htm.

[@c.s.5177]

What is the difference with and without the absorption panels?

[@clearsonicmfg]

We always recommend you use some combination of acrylic and Sorber panels. Without absorption panels, you would not see as much volume reduction. The clear acrylic only reflects sound, while the Sorber (absorption) panels absorb sound. You will not really be reducing any decibels without using something to absorb the sound waves. The best you can do with acrylic alone is reflect sound waves somewhere else. This may be perceived as being quieter if standing directly in front of the sound source, but the sound waves will simply be bouncing around the room, which can sometimes make the sound source (i.e. drum set) seem even louder.

[@DeskarTube]

Maybe I will purchase the Isopac e. Is it suitable to get dry vocals?

[@clearsonicmfg]

It sure is, as pretty much any IsoPac would be. The two major considerations for a vocal booth are what you want to use it for and what size you need. If you're only recording one vocalist, something like the IsoPac G could suffice. If you're recording vocals and acoustic guitar (or another instrument), multiple vocalists, or if you think you would ever need to record drums at some point, something like the IsoPac E would be a great place to start.

[@DeskarTube]

Hello, thank you for your fast answer. I only record vocals. But I have the chance to get the isopac e very cheap (maybe for under 300 dollar). so I think its a pretty good deal. If it is too big, I can make it smaller by not using all walls, can I?

[@clearsonicmfg]

You're welcome, Deskar! I agree that would be a good deal on the IsoPac E. Also, you are correct about making the booth smaller by using less panels or walls. However, please keep in mind that if you disconnect any of the acrylic panels from each other, the hinge will be destroyed and you will need a new hinge to put them back together. In the event you need to do that, we (or one our dealers) can provide you with a replacement. Good luck with your recordings!

[@rgalvezmusic24]

are they foam (the gray things)? where can i buy a booth like it?

[@clearsonicmfg]

Allen has a doppelganger.

[@freekdeeekmuis]

What happens with the volume being the drummer?

[@MrBoater58]

When i saw the guy in the blue shirt I expected this to be a geico commercial... I guess its so easy that a cave man can do this.

[@clearsonicmfg]

We also offer vocal isolation booths as well. Check out our website for more info. Thanks!

[@edjorthebeast]

[@JoelMcCoy89]

How does he get out?

[@jnagime]

Where i can buy this?

[@clearsonicmfg]

We don't check the KZbin comments very often.

[@Chessdrummer83]

what! I like playing loud and soft but what if somebody prefers to play metal??

[@bajacapt]

It needs some sort of vent port with fan or Air Conditioner port, no drummer could go for a lengthy recording session in there, unless they keep the studio or recording place chilled with Air Conditioning.. otherwise, great isolation...

[@delflago]

how do you get out?

[@blinkbody]

and how to get out ?

[@CrazyCity13]

how much would this cost?

[@clearsonicmfg]

The meter was C Weighted.

[@jasksda3]

[@powerbellrider]

how much o.o!???

[@greendaywillrock]

[@alexislks8234]

..and then he call the guys to take him out! :D

[@luigidisarno4714]

e sotto???

[@FOSSIL13drums]

He was a carpenter's son...

[@majestytd]

so when he's done playing drum, he just kick the shit out of that booth?

[@monkeypete3736]

If your wanting to get the most out of this screen,fill it with water,or for a more permanent alternative.....CONCRETE! ;)

[@Drmmr4gzus]

what if he has to pee really bad?

[@clearsonicmfg]

The drummer simply slides on of the acrylic panels to the side like a door.

[@adolfoarteaga681]

which is its thickness ? please

[@clearsonicmfg]

+Adolfo Arteaga The acrylic (clear shield) thickness is 1/4", the Sorber (absorption panels) are 1.5" thick.

[@TheStompbox]

Over Kill. I liked just the shield. Without all of the pads and top.

[@clearsonicmfg]

1.The acrylic thickness is 1/4". There is a gap at the rear of the booth to allow air circulation. The drummer is totally surrounded by acrylic panels. 2.Our SORBER is made of 1.5" thick rigid compressed fiberglass wrapped in 'trunk cloth' (like a car trunk). It performs much better and is more effective than other products out there. Sponge or wool could be better than nothing, but certainly will not absorb as much. Go to the clearsonic site & click on 'SORBER' under products for more info.

[@MykeMcKesey]

Now how the hell is he gonna get out??

[@clearsonicmfg]

We have a list of US and international dealers on our website or you can order factory direct from us. Please call 1-800-888-6360 for any questions or order info.

[@bigleemac]

they must be good, Jesus builds them!

[@Butch3727]

[@rlta04]

[@makulayanga1231]

it must be hot in there

[@b40l]

[@Rockhomestudio]

@Drmmr4gzus He will just pee inside the booth.. lol! :-P

[@dizzytoledo]

Talk about alienating your drummer! Not cool!

[@armandochuh]

Would be perfect if not for the insistence of breathing drummers. Let's also enclose the amps? Or do not you dare to touch this taboo? Backward as the modern world! Seria perfeito, não fosse a insistência dos bateristas em respirar. Vamos enclausurar os amplificadores tambem? Ou vocês não tem coragem de mexer nesse tabu? Mundo retrógrado disfarçado de moderno!

[@Antromento]

Das Geld für die Anschaffung kann man sich getrost sparen.

[@InDarkSolitude]

I want the last 3:53 of my life back

[@armandochuh]

It would be perfect if not for the insistence on breathing drummers. Let's close the amps too? Wayward world disguised of modern! Seria perfeito, não fosse a insistência em respirar dos bateristas. Vamos fechar os amplifacadores também? Mundo retrógrado distarçado de moderno!

[@clearsonicmfg.7622]

We also sell just the acrylic drum shields and our Sorber sound absorbing baffles individually.

[@clearsonicmfg.7622]

That would have to be a pretty large isolation booth since the one shown in the video is 7' x 6' x 6.5'. The MiniMega Pac shown has a sound reduction of 60% - 70% which is typically plenty of sound reduction for churches and studios.

[@clearsonicmfg.7622]

All of our isolation booths with lids come with a clip on fan for air circulation. We just forgot to clip it on in the video.

[@clearsonicmfg.7622]

One of the back acrylic panels slides open like a door.

[@clearsonicmfg.7622]

Please contact our Australian dealer, ISL Systems, for the best pricing and shipping info. They should have our items in stock. Thanks!

[@clearsonicmfg]

You simply slide one of the Sorber panels out of the way. More info is available on our website and a picture of the door explanation is under the "Frequently asked questions" tab. Thanks.

[@ilovesabian1n1]

how much would this cost?
