These two large isolation booths provide the exciting possibility of being acoustically combined with one another and/or the Music Room. When combined with each other, the two booths function as a live-end/dead-end room, with Booth A being the live end and Booth B being the dead end. When combined, an RT-60 of 0.35 seconds can be expected. When the large double doors on the south side of each booth are opened the the Music Room, the acoustically coupled spaces enable both a variety of ambient micing options as well as a means to fine-tune the acoustic balance and bleed of musicians playing together in a shared 1870 sq ft acoustic space.
