Amplifier Isolation Box – Pictures

Posted by Reid Greven on May 20, 2008

Here are some better pictures of our Guitar Amplifier Isolation Boxes.

They’re strong enough to stack two high.

Pay no attention to the Avalon other stuff on top of the box. As you can see, the top of the box acts as a great storage area…

The inside of the box also acts as a great water bottle storage area ;)

Fan, blowing the hot air out.

    That, sir, is beautiful. We were going to build iso boxes, but honestly haven’t found the time to do so. I really appreciate you sharing the plans and pictures — I’m sure there are tons of people who will benefit from this…

    My only complaint about the boxes is that they are placed too close to the monitor console. It tends to get a little loud backstage, even with the sound isolation.

    However, with the number of X3 users of late, it hasn’t been a problem. Maybe we can keep Reid’s trained ferrets in there from now on.

    What are the dimensions of the box? Trying to find a good size to build.

    Thanks for sharing! What are the two types of acoustic panels being used?

    I’ve heard these can generate a lot of heat. If I can’t open the doors during the message, would two fans be necessary to keep the amp cool?

    Matt,

    Yeah, they get hot, especially with a tube amp. I’d probably try a couple fans. But it won’t be in there (where you can’t open the doors) for more than the length of your service, I assume. Our guys have ‘em going through a whole 2 hour rehearsal, so take that as you will.
