As we all know, recording electric guitar amplifiers at home can be challenging due to the kind of levels they need to be run at to achieve a good sound. The solution is to place a mic'd up speaker cabinet in some kind of isolation, such as a cupboard or the garage, and run a speaker lead to it from a head located in the "control room", and a mic lead back from it to an audio interface or mic pre. But if this isn't possible, and/or and you need to attenuate the level for neighbours or other residents, an isolation box is the logical solution.
For many of us recording at home, space is also a primary issue, therefore a box that is compact and able to fit through the average interior doorway of a house may be desirable.
The design we arrived at is as compact as possible whilst still retaining good sound isolation properties. Every centimetre counts so even the speaker cab jack plug is right angled. And of course it sits on castors, improving its isolation properties and allowing easy re-location.
What really surprised us though, was how well it works. Therefore we decided to share the design with our subscribers.

We hope it works for you too.
