I'd like to build a vocal booth for my home studio and keen to get some advice on how.
The main constraints:
- I live in an apartment and need to get the cutting of materials done in NZ stores or elsewhere.
- I'll need to do the assembly in the room, otherwise it won't fit.
- Budget is limited to 1-2k NZD
Requirements:
- The booth is 2 meters high, the inside floor area is 1x1.1 m, the wall/floor/roof thickness is ~10cm.
- The door size is 185x70cm, ideally it shouldn't let any air in and out and should be the same thickness as the walls to ensure noise isolation
- Ideally a power socket hole is required in one of the walls, the size is 7.5x11.5cm and it's 28cm from the apartment floor
- Don't need done: ventilation, lights, windows or interior.
Questions:
- Is the wood frame necessary or it's enough to make walls out of 2 plywood sheets with insulation sheet inside, and assemble them with angle brackets?
- Which materials would you recommend, especially for insulation / for ensuring there's no movement in plywood+filler 'sandwich'?
- Any general building tips or gotcha's?
- Any ideas on where to do the cutting in the city if I don't find a store that would do it for me?
Any help is appreciated.
