The equation for decibel reductions don't work like that. The human ear perceives a 50% sound reduction of about 10dB. That's why we thought it was important to actually HEAR the sound reduction in the video. You can research how decibel reductions work or give us a call/email and we'll be happy to explain it to you. Thanks!

This was simply a short promo video. We have several product demo videos on our channel if you're interested. www.youtube.com/@clearsonicmfg

A 10 decibel reduction is about a 50% perceived sound reduction. This is hard to demonstrate with a UA-cam video, that's why we included the decibel meters in the shots. You would mic the cab inside the isolation booth so you'll still hear the amps true voice.

@@clearsonicmfg yet there was no sound difference in the video. I am sure your product does do something but it is not a good advert for the product. I look forward to an updated video where you can proof me wrong ( also, might be an idea to leave the meter alone and not mess around with it, some people may think it is being tampered with to make the readings look better )

@@stuartdoherty7814 we have two newer, more professional videos on our channel demonstrating how the AmpPacs work. ua-cam.com/video/JVEnlNOkLfw/v-deo.html

A 10 decibel reduction with our AmpPacs is a 50% perceived volume reduction, so they do work. But they aren't 100% sound PROOF, that's very hard to accomplish, unless you want to spend thousands of dollars for a room within a room. But the couch cushions is certainly a good idea, but your "100 times better" claim would result a negative sound vacuum and possibly turn into a black hole. No one wants that...

The idea here is that our isolation booths help to create a better acoustic environment, so you could record a live band in a space like this without all the reverb and mic bleed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

That's great to hear, thank you!

Thanks for your comment. A drop of 10 or more decibels equals about a 50% volume drop, which is pretty substantial. We understand and appreciate the consideration and investment musicians must make when purchasing our products. Our iso booths aren't for everyone, but for those who need a solution to improve the live stage mix, practice their instrument, or record at home without disturbing others, our products allow them the opportunity to pursue their craft.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Sad.....

At this point, just get a electric kit. Btw, he's drumming pretty chill. Put a heavy hitting rock drummer in the room and you'll start getting 100db + numbers to start with.

Oxygen tank sold separately 😂 In all seriousness, all of our iso booths come with a fan for air circulation and have a rear air gap for this purpose.

As the acrylic and sound absorption are added and the volume lowers, she is adjusting the input range of the dB meter. If these adjustments were not made, the meter would begin to show a -Lo- rating at the lower volume instead of a dB measurement. You are correct that the UA-cam compression makes it difficult to discern what it is like to actually be in the room. We are looking for ways to improve that. Your suggestion about the looper and spectrum analyzer are appreciated and will be considered in future demos. Thanks for your comments!

Hi Tommy! I just sent you an email to explain this. You are correct that the Sorber baffle attaches to the acrylic with our adhesive backed Velcro. Feel free to reply to your email or this thread if you have any more questions.

Hey there, sorry to hear about your hinge troubles. The hinges can slide for instance if the shield gets moved by grabbing and dragging it by one panel. Be careful when moving or adjusting the placement of the shield - it's best to fold it up accordion style if moving a far distance, or to carefully pull the panels by the cable cutouts at the bottom for shorter distances. The hinges will not reinstall properly as removing them damages the tooth that snaps into the panel groove. If the hinges have been previously removed and then reinstalled, that may be the cause of the issue, and they will need to be replaced with new ones. If they have not been removed, the best fix is to have someone hold a panel at the top while another person pushes up on the hinge/next panel from the bottom. You should be able to work it back up into place this way. Dripping some rubbing alcohol into the hinge channel groove may help with this. If you continue to have issues, please call us at 800-888-6360 or email info@clearsonic.com and we'll be happy to help troubleshoot further.

@@clearsonicmfg Thanks for the reply! We'll try this and if anything comes up, we'll leverage the contact information provided. So appreciated!

@@restoredtemecula You're welcome! Hope it works out, and we're always here to help :)

Hi Lenard! You can purchase hinges directly from our website here: www.clearsonic.com/products/h64?_pos=1&_sid=5e5af1f38&_ss=r Be sure to select the correct hinge you need from the dropdown. Or, you can also order from one of our dealers: USA: www.clearsonic.com/pages/usa-dealers International: www.clearsonic.com/pages/international-dealers

Yep! Just be careful not to bruise the hinge. Usually more rubbing alcohol helps.

The video does not do justice to how the volume changes compared to being in the room. If you watch the decibel meter, there is a drop in dB's from a max of about 108 to about 98. According to the decibel scale, a drop in 10dB = 10x less power. Depending on your neighbors and the construction of your apartment, this may be enough to bring your amp to reasonable levels. You can achieve even more dB reduction with our AP21 that utilize more of our acrylic panels & Sorber absorption panels: www.clearsonic.com/collections/speaker-cabinet-amppacs/products/ap21-amppac-21. Thanks for your input!

@@clearsonicmfg thank you but do i need to put a cover on top? something I do not wanna do Hello from nyc

@@soofitnsexy Yes, a lid on top is the most effective way to bring down the volume. Without it, the sound waves from the amp reflect off the front shield and out into the room. The rear absorption baffles help but the lid is doing a lot of heavy lifting as far as sound absorption. Your other alternative would be to acoustically treat the room itself with sound aborption panels, but this takes a lot more time/money.

@@clearsonicmfg thanks thats a no go for me.....u saved me money both directions!! ill just buy an attenuater or smaller amp for home

@@soofitnsexy You're welcome! That is an acceptable route to take too :)

There are no hard-set rules to placing the shield, but I usually go for about 1 ft. of space in between the speakers and shield. This leaves room for a mic to be placed and gives the speaker(s) some room to breathe. That said, experimenting with the placement is fine to find what works best for you.

Not a dumb question at all. We've never tested a scenario like that so we can't provide any concrete dB measurement. This would reduce less volume than using a lid on top, but treating the ceiling above the amp would certainly still help to reduce reflections off the ceiling and be quieter than having no treatment at all. This would be fine if you are trying to improve the room acoustics - if the goal is to isolate the amp, keeping the lid on top is your best bet. I hope that helps!

Thanks for your input. We are planning to produce some more demo/instructional videos in the near future. In the meantime, you can get an idea of how our iso booths work on the drums by viewing this video: ua-cam.com/video/gGoI02jxDP0/v-deo.html

@@clearsonicmfg ahhh... there it is! Very helpful and very well done. 👏

Hi Alexandria. Yes, this AmpPac will greatly help reduce the noise of your computer. I would suggest our using our S2224 Sorber baffles setup as a square around the tower since our Sorber baffles absorb sound whereas the clear acrylic panels just reflect the sound. We've had customers use our products to reduce sound in machinery and lab equipment before with great success. Please feel free to email/call us if you would like to discuss more. Thanks!

@@clearsonicmfg Thank you so much for replying! This is extremely helpful

@@alexandriadean120 You're welcome!

Smart phone mics are quite sensitive and have compression-limiting built in. I bet the affect is quite significant for a small venue to contain stage SPL for FOH/Monitor mixing.

We are planning some new videos similar to this and hope to have them posted sometime late spring/early summer. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

@@clearsonicmfg I look forward to seeing these videos very soon! 👀👀

We use alcohol wipes. You can apply fresh rubbing alcohol to the wipe if it dries out.

You're welcome, Shawnica! That's great to hear you found the video to be helpful, and also congrats on your bragging rights!! 🤣

They are jersey gloves. Basically soft cotton material.

We have another video that offers a look at loudness from the outside: ua-cam.com/video/gGoI02jxDP0/v-deo.html&feature=emb_title

You're correct the shield itself blocks the 'beam' coming from the amp and dynamics play a part in that the volume is constantly fluctuating, however you can clearly see the drop in dB's from a max of about 108 to about 98. You can achieve even more dB reduction with our AP21 that utilize more of our Sorber absorption panels: www.clearsonic.com/collections/speaker-cabinet-amppacs/products/ap21-amppac-21.

Those with claustrophobia may experience some discomfort, but we've never had any reports of it being an issue.

@@clearsonicmfg Oh good, thank you for your kind reply. 🙂

@@WorthlessDeadEnd You're welcome! :) Don't hesitate to contact us if you ever have questions.

@@clearsonicmfg Okay, thank you. 😁

Hi Keith, great questions! It's true the most volume reduction is going to happen with a lid going on top. There is about a 10dB drop overall which means the amp is 10x quieter. Without the lid you are more or less going to be blocking the beam from the amp, which still lowers volume but not as much. Greater dB reduction can be achieved by using more of the Sorber absorption panels (but then you lose visibility of the amp). These booths are not airtight so there is enough airflow to prevent the amp from overheating - we've never had any reports of amps having any issues being in any of our booths. Hope that helps, let us know if you have any other questions. :)

@@clearsonicmfg Thanks - much appreciated.

You're not wrong. +3dB is twice as much power. The smallest difference in level that most people easily perceive is 3dB. 1 db is the smallest difference for most people whereas 3db is quite noticeable. Double the apparent loudness is more like 10dB Double / half is generally accepted at 10db although it appears that it has much to do with the nature of the sound and the relative move compared with the absolute level, and I've read sources touting as little as 6db change can be described as twice/half the volume under the right circumstances. These shields are great, I have one myself. BUT, they do NOT make the amp 10X quieter. No way! ...Maybe more like cut the perceived volume in half is a better more realistic description. If it's an open back, you'll have to deal with the reflection from there too of course, but that can more easily be adjusted but putting the amp closer to a wall if you're at a rehearsal or a club, or maybe put your pedal board case behind there.

@@jacobpetersen5662 You're right! According to the decibel scale, a drop in 10dB = 10x less 'power', not perceived volume. Halving the perceived volume is a better way of putting it. Thanks for your input!

Keith Davies, no problem about tube amps heat. They are built for that kind of abuse. Trust me, I have done a lot worse that what has been done in this video, and even then I never had problems

Hello Mario. Thanks for watching! :)

Hi, Uche. If by clip you mean the HF64 hinge, we have discontinued sales on this item at the moment. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. If you would like more information about where to find this item please contact us at info@clearsonic.com.

Hi, my panels era 3/8" thick, where can I find HF72 hinges for this thickness?

That's a great question, Marco! You do not want to remove the hinges unless absolutely necessary as they will not re-attach to the panels. The panels can be folded for easy storage. You do want to be careful to fold the panels back the way they come when they are shipped. Looking down at the shield from the top, each hinge will have a slight curve or 'u' shape to it in the middle. The panels/hinge need to fold in the direction of that curve. It can be a little tricky since they fold 'accordion style' - each panel will fold from the opposite side of the one before it (i.e. if the first panel folds on the right, the next will fold on the left, and so on..) I hope that helps, but let us know if you have any more trouble!

You're welcome, Devon! Thanks for the comment. So glad the video helped! :)

Hi Tim, I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your hinges. That's a great question! I believe you may have already received an answer via email, but just to be sure I wanted to provide the info on this: you do want to be careful to fold the panels back the way they come when they are shipped.

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

Hey Lekkyes, check out the link to the MiniMega on our website: clearsonic.com/IsoMini.htm

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

Ok thanks a lot! Appreciate it.

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.

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.

+Nick Kennedy The clear shield is acrylic plastic. The absorption panels (Sorber) are compressed fiberglass wrapped in a sound-reducing fabric.

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

+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
