ISOBOX: How To Remove The Door

Introduction

In this guide, we will walk you through how to remove and reattach the door on your ISO Box. Removing the door provides you with a different setup option, especially if you want to sing directly to the microphone while it is inside the box. Additionally, we'll show you how to attach an external pop filter if you still want to avoid plosives during your recordings.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Removing the Front Door

1. Identify the Hinges
   • On the front door of your ISO Box, you will find hinges located at the top and bottom corners.
2. Remove One Corner at a Time
   • Start with the top corner of the door. Gently pull the door away from the hinge, carefully sliding it out.
3. Repeat for the Bottom Corner
   • After removing the top hinge, move to the bottom corner. Again, carefully pull the door away from the second hinge.
4. Full Access to the Inside
   • Once both corners are free from the hinges, you will have full access to the inside of the ISO Box. This gives you the option to sing directly into the microphone inside the box.

Attaching an External Pop Filter

1. Set Up the Pop Filter
   • If you want to still avoid plosives while using your ISO Box without the door, you can use an external pop filter. Open the clamp at the bottom of the pop filter.
2. Position the Pop Filter
   • Attach the clamp to the mic stand inside the ISO Box, adjusting it to the desired position.
3. Secure the Pop Filter
   • Once the pop filter is positioned correctly, tighten the clamp to lock it in place. Then, bring the pop filter up to the microphone.

Reattaching the Door

1. Align the Hinges
   • To reattach the door, line up the hinges on the door with the hinges on the side of the ISO Box.
2. Secure the Hinges
   • Gently push the hinges together until they click into place, securing the door back to the box.

Conclusion

Removing the door from your ISO Box gives you flexibility in your setup, especially when you want to sing directly into the mic. The external pop filter helps reduce plosives during recording. Reattaching the door is simple and quick, giving you multiple ways to use the ISO Box based on your preferences.
