What is a soundproof booth?
A soundproof booth for meetings is an enclosed space designed to isolate sound from the inside to the outside and vice versa. This creates a quiet, private environment, ideal for keeping your meeting confidential.
In coworking spaces and offices, these booths are mostly used for video calls, online meetings and private or long phone calls.
They can also be used, to a lesser extent, to record audio or video content and for tasks that require a lot of concentration, usually for fairly short periods.
They usually have ventilation, lights that switch on when you enter, a power socket and basic furniture such as a table and a seat.
At Llum Coworking we have our wonderful soundproof booth, which we call all sorts of names: time capsule, Superman’s phone box, the TARDIS… And although it hasn’t taken us on a trip through space and time yet, it’s a brilliant place to work!
Types of acoustic booths
There are several types of soundproof booths, designed according to their use, size and level of sound insulation. If you’d like to know more, here’s a summary of the most common ones in a coworking space:
Single booths
Used for phone and video calls and, to a lesser extent, for individual work.
They’re like the phone boxes of old (yes, like those famous red ones in England), so you’ll have guessed they’re made for just one person.
Double booths
Twice the space, twice the people. They’re ideal for interviews or meetings of two to four people, depending on the size.
Large booths
Designed for team meetings, presentations or training sessions, just like a small conventional meeting room, for four to eight people or even more.
Recording booths or studios
These can be any size, depending on what’s being recorded. Podcasters or voice actors will be fine with a single booth, but content creators working in pairs or with guests will need something bigger.
Musicians such as bands can also record in these booths, so they need even more space. Of course, that’s a long way from the usual coworking profile. Or who knows – maybe one day Llum Coworking will be where the summer hit gets recorded.
Benefits of having a soundproof booth for your meetings
Every coworking space is different, so depending on the people who work there, one type of booth or another will suit it better.
For example, single booths take up little space and can be installed in a few hours, so they’re ideal for coworking spaces that don’t have much room but still want to offer this option.
If there’s a bit more space, double booths can help take pressure off conventional meeting rooms, especially in coworking spaces with lots of small businesses or small teams.
For open-plan offices that need more meeting rooms, a large booth is the answer. You can equip it with all kinds of accessories, such as screens or a camera with a microphone and speakers for video conferences. Basically, it’s like having a traditional meeting room, just smaller.
Their biggest strength is the great sound quality inside and the excellent sound insulation. And believe me, your clients will thank you for it.
