DV562ECO110 musical recording

Gabriel Abril. Producer. Musician.

"The Demvox booths are the solution to having a studio at home. Not only because of the sound that can be generated with a recording from the inside, but also by external noise, which can easily seep into microphones if the insulation is not good. In that respect I could not be happier with the booths.

I am currently using two, one ECO110 for recording vocals, acoustic guitars and percussion and a DV562 for the control room. In the latter, the door is made of glass, which gives it much more space. That, when many hours are spent mixing inside the studio, is one more advantage, since it allows natural light to enter without losing soundproofing. To communicate them, the windows of both booths were placed at the same height and a cable gland system for the microphones were placed. Another question was whether the sound inside the control room would be correct when mixing. In that aspect, the result is remarkable, the entire interior is lined with absorbent material and the sound is faithful to what comes out of the listeners. From the outside, and with a fairly high volume, you can hardly hear a distant murmur, which could be any neighbor's radio.

Recording equipment is mounted on two racks of 16 units, making it easy to transport all the equipment quickly. For me, who’s had various studio locations, this was another premise, to be able to move around easily and return to a session without losing the sound that you're already used to after hours of work. If we add the availability of technicians Demvox, to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the booths, the decision to buy Demvox has been proven a wise choice."
