Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes KUBE Stand Out From Its Competitors ?

KUBE is the only dedicated manufacturer of vocal booths and sound isolation enclosures in the United Kingdom. You will find vocal booths and sound isolation enclosures to buy online from other UK suppliers, however these companies are agents or importers for overseas manufacturers located in America. A UK agent or importer will quote on average a 3 month lead time for delivery. This is the time it takes for the product to be manufactured and shipped from America to the UK. You will also find that our products are very competitively priced and are available at much lower pricese. This is not because our products are inferior it is simply because you are buying directly from the manufacturer and you are not paying the very high shipping and import duties on imported products. Also you are not paying the agents or importers markup (both of these will add thousands of pounds to even the smallest booth) In addition the value of the UK pound has fallen against the dollar and other currencies (After The UK Brexit vote) which has made imported good much more expensive.
All of our booths, are manufactured for you. This means you can choose the layout, colour options and extra options to suit your specific requirements

How Do I Know What Size Is Best For Me ?

We can certainly try and advise a suitable size for your new KUBE vocal booth or sound isolation enclosure depending upon your particular requirements, however it would be better for you to make the final decision.

The best way to decide on a particular size is to mock up an area so you can physically see what the external and internal space of a KUBE would be. Using markers, paper or timber edges measure out the external and internal area and double check that this size would be sufficient for your needs. If you are using a particular instrument make sure the instrument can fit inside the available space with you inside!. Also include any computer equipment, recording or music related equipment, office equipment or chairs etc. etc. It is definitely worth spending some time making sure you order the correct size.

Are KUBE Vocal Booths Or Sound Isolation Enclosures Soundproof ?

We only use the highest quality materials available to achieve the best sound attenuation properties. Each vocal booth or sound isolation enclosure includes a viewing window\s manufactured from high quality acoustic laminated glass.

How Much Acoustic Foam Do I Need ?

Each KUBE vocal booth or sound isolation enclosure is supplied with a specific number of acoustic foam panels to cover approximately a third of the interior surface area. The acoustic foam panels attach to the interior walls with removable Velcro fasteners (included with the acoustic foam panels). The foam panels can be moved around the interior to suit your specific sound and absorption requirements.

Additional acoustic foam panels can also be purchased to accommodate different sound requirements.

For example: A moderate amount of foam gives a reflective "live" interior sound whereas a large amount of foam provides a non reflective "dead" interior sound. Please Note: Only our vocal booths are supplied with acoustic foam.
