Guitar Speaker Iso Cabs at 42studios 

Wow Henning... that is VERY impressive!! Great work!!

Love the wood on those iso cabs, looks great!

Thank you so awesomely for sharing this video :) Never thought of constructing an IsoCab like that but it sounds great on every demo you uploaded and saves a lot of money. Thanks :)

Awesome walkthrough Henning!

5 hinges of awesomeness!!! I don't even have a basement! I wish I could do this because when I turn my amp on, the children go running!

Nice studio setup!

for the SM 57, in order to reduce the depth used, why not use a granelli 5790?

Hi! Can you give us an update now that you have been using the IR and the two notes on your newer videos. Which one sounds better in a recording? Iso cab or load box Thanks!

Really cool man i dig it! Thanks for the reply :)

Hi HP, good stuff on your channel! Keep up the good work, man... do you think the IRs are as real as the iso cabs? Or even "more real"? Do they react like the iso box with the different instruments you demo? I have a kemper for quick studio works and I would love to add a quiter solution for my tube amps, so I can demo pedals, pickups... with a setup similar to most of the people: like a tube amp, common speaker, sm57. Do you think IRs can be a good substitute and a good fit for my purpose? Thanks a lot!!

wow, das ging schnell. echt super! vielen dank :)

Thanks HP, sadly noone of us has the room for so much amps and boxes, but yeah, it's nice to see, what could be if. I like everything there, but I don't like those hinges and how hard it is to open them. Also, this was the first video mentioning that the amps get hot in there. And I didn't see how you switch on/off the amps. Lot of amps have even two switches to get the amp on. Wouldn't there be a smaller service window a good way to deal with both problems? Heat can go out easily and the small window allows you to quickly switch the amp on and off. I don't know if there's an even cooler solution like a small gadget that switch the switches for you and maybe track the temperature of the inside. Do you know anything about that?

Seems like all the bands I recorded insisted that they use their 4 x 12 stage gear. soooo annoying!

Did you say "...lid closey things..." at 2:40? *awesome*

Good Work!!!

Thanks for this great, instructive video. I have recently build my isolation cab (for 1X12 speaker) and I am looking for smaller mic stands to fit SM57 and a ribbon mic inside the cab. I do not have much space left inside, what would be your suggestion for a tiny durable mic stand? Thanks a lot!

Awesome job and it looks great,I am wondering what kind of speaker cable you are using and how long can they be and without harming the amp,thank you for your videos.

I live in a ground-floor apartment. I just bought a Morgan MVP23 with the power scaling. I set the volume and gain to ~ 2 o'clock and the power scaling to 0. It sounds AMAZING, but it's too loud. If I build an open top sound box with acoustical foam and plywood, will that muffle the sound enough or will the sound escape through the top? Will the acoustic foam attenuate the high frequencies? I don't want to spend the money and build a box if it won't work. Any advice appreciated.

Awesome vid man! How is your patchbay set up, different heads to different cabs?

Hi Henning, do you still use those iso boxes or are you only using your Uad ox Box nowadays?

Hi EytschPi42 ,great organization!!!! I've seen You have a flat mic in one of your isobox (something like Sennheiser E609 or 906 model) mounted on a stand....why You don't put simply on the cabinet,some particular reason?

Does the limited space effect the sound since it is compressed and there is air inside the box trying to move that is trapped? That doesn't stop any speaker movement?

Hi HP, Coffins for Dracula? Great ISO Boxes... I would love to have these at home. Do you have a good advice for one for the amateur? Maybe for a premanufactured one? Thanks. PK

Question: I understand the benefits of miking a speaker cabinet inside a contained isolation box, but what is the different sound result/s from close miking a speaker cabinet in a bigger isolation room? Does the limited air space in a smaller isolation box effect the way it sounds when recording?

Awesome way to do it, so what exactly is your patchbay used for?

Thanks! Very nice video! Very helpful! So... What do you think about using 2 mics on the speakers inside the isolation cabinets? Does it help..? Or not?

Doesn't look at all like the family crypt. #speakersarefamily. ;-)

Those boxes are very nice looking and you did nice job. However IMO they do not isolate that well. Acoustic foam is not very good for soundproofing. Insulation used for fire and soundproofing in walls is much more dense and thicker. I have a 4x12 cab in a homemade iso box with Marshall head cranked to 3oclock and it is quieter than yours. Just an observation. Cheers

if i get a deville hot rod 212, could i just make a small single iso cab, and could i just keep the volume low rather than construct one?

How do you deal with overheating?

Can you please drop a comment about the size of the speaker cables? I've heard that you must use short cables between the cab and the amp to avoid damaging the amp, but you are obviously using very long speaker cables. Any regular speaker cables would do the job or special cables must be used to compensate for the longer length? Thanks in advance.

With your iso cabs in the basement does weather effect the sound? I want to build one for my garage or attic but I am worried extreme cold or hot temperature would affect it. What about moisture in the basement?

Do you think combo amps would overheat in one of these?

tell me , does guitar speakers heat up ? if you play lots of hours , like 8 hours . Is there any chance that foam will set fire if you play all day with guitar cab inside foam box???

"I have a pleasure room"

Hmm how did you not blow the 1x12 speaker if use high wattage head

doesnt leaving your amps on all the time damage them? how do you never have to go the amp room but leave al the amps on?

Bei dir schaut es aus Zuhause ^^

IMHO putting a combo tube amp in an isobox is not a good idea

Big setup. Maybe a bit of video editing is in order (no one really wants to see you shouting at your dog). Audio demonstration of loudness does not work when a RU-vid video is heavily compressed. There’s no point comparing the open and closed sounds when we will not hear the difference in volume.
