FAQ
6. How good is 30 dB sound insulation performance?
If you produce, for e.g., 50-60 dB in a translation booth, outside VicBooth you will have 20-30 dB,
i.e. it will be almost inaudible.
In a Vocal Booth where levels are likely to achieve 60-70 dBA, outside VicBooth Ultra you will
have roughly 30-40 dBA, i.e. barely audible (40 dBA is what you will normally nd in a quiet
residential set)
For a Control Room / Recording Room / Music Practice Room, where sometimes you will achieve
levels of 80-90 dBA, it is likely that outside VicBooth Ultra you will have 50-60 dB, i.e. you will
have levels of the same magnitude of a conversation speech.
7. How is VicBooth Ultra internal acoustic conditions and why do we have Acoustic Kits?
The VicBooth Ultra standard version comes with sound absorbing walls and ceiling, in order
to control specular reections, utter echoes and to avoid excessive reverberation within the
booth. This standard version will be sucient for most situations.
However, for some applications, you may need to ne-tune the booth’s internal acoustic
conditions. Therefore, there are walls with ttings that make them compatible with the VicFix
System available in the VicBooth Ultra acoustic kits.
8. How is electric equipment powered inside the booth?
Each single unit has a cable passage with ø 70 mm / ø 2.8’’ in the oor that can be used to power
VicBooth. So, while a 1x1 booth will have 1 cable passage, a 2x2 booth will have 4 cable passages.
This is normally sucient to power all necessary equipment and lights.
It should be noted that this cable passage is designed to control any noise leakage it may happen
in such passages.
9. Does VicBooth Ultra comes already with its own lighting system?
There is a cable passage system that can be used to include whatever lighting system you may
need and even change it according to your needs.
Since each Production Environment will have their own lighting demands, we decided to
maintain the versatility of VicBooth and not to include its own lighting system in it.
10. How is VicBooth ventilated?
VicBooth Ultra comes already with its own Natural Ventilation scheme ensuring air circulation
within the booth in a passive way.
There are air passages in the booth’s oor and ceiling and air circulates within VicBooth Ultra by
using the users’ body heat to bring new air from the outside through the oor and push old air
outside through the ceiling.
11. Can I include a Mechanical Ventilator in VicBooth?
If necessary, VicBooth Ultra can include an optional mechanical ventilation system. This is made
available as an accessory and can be attached to the ceiling, ensuring total air renovation of a
single unit in less than 2 minutes.
In terms of noise generated by the ventilation system, it is designed in such a way that ensures
a very low noise within the booth of NR 21 - complying with the stringent values given by best
practice guidelines for Professional Control Rooms.
