I absolutely love my sound isolation booth and it's exactly what I planed for!
Thank you all so very much---you were all so very helpful and courteous!
To Vicki, for the countless phone conversations and emails. To Ken, for the
wonderful custom work and design. And to Gretchen, for making the final
transaction from one coast to another smooth and complete.
I will recommend Gretch-Ken Industries to everyone I know!

The booth is everything I had hoped and has created a really sane space in the vortex of NY.
Assembly was 'as advertised' -- took a couple of hours with a friend, no problem. I'd say it's
one of the best investments I've made and I'm really glad you are pushing to envelope with
this kind of home technology. As a lifelong renter, I'm sure I speak for my neighbors too!
Excellent work about which I've told a number of musician friends.

Best Regards,

The sound booth with faraday cage that I bought from you all last year is working great for me.
It took a small team to assemble it, but we got it together and it's working out fine.
I'd be happy to have potential customers contact me, particularly researchers.
Again, I am a psychologist who is using the booth for research purposes.

"The people at GK Acoustics were great! They helped us determine our needs for our application and worked very closely with us throughout the entire process. We needed a quiet environment to test motors in an assembly line process. they helped design a booth that had the motor roll in for testing and then out for the next step of the process. the booth provided just what we needed. The assembly of the booth was also a breeze. We were able to assemble it easily within a day. We have no complaints with the product or the company and would gladly use GK Acoustics again if the need arise. Thanks GK Acoustics!

Just had to let you know that the AudioGirls couldn't be happier with our sound booth.
It does exactly what we needed it to and was relatively easy to assemble. Bravo to Gretchen and the Gretch-Ken crew for their exceptional product and customer support!

Attached are digital pictures of the two isolation booths that we purchased in early July 2003. I have no idea where to even begin telling you how pleased and happy we are with these booths. To begin with, assembly was a dream; we had both booths uncrated and set up within about 2 hours. The following day the sprinkler company installed the required-by-code flexible sprinkler drops into each of the booths, and thankfully no increase in outside sound was noted. The following day we moved our custom built mixing stations up to the booths, installed 13" LCD screens (to view the karaoke lyrics) and studio condenser microphones and headphones, and gave everything a test run. WOW! The quality of the vocals inside the booths was (and is) Amazing! Our customers, who range from first time amateurs to aspiring stars, can't get over the great sounding CD's they get after a recording session.
Thank you all so much for a great quality product!

The Audio Video students here at Alamogordo High School put in many hours in our new sound booth. Not only did they assemble the entire booth on their own, but they have recorded and mixed every AHS radio ad including PSA's inside the booth. Thanks to members of our local media, our booth is equipped with a mixing board, microphones, a computer with Adobe Audition (audio editing software) and Frooty Loops (music maker software). The sound booth allows me to teach in the classroom while work continues in the booth - they can't hear me and I can't hear them. The students have recorded PSA's on the importance of reading, reporting date violence, drinking and driving, and others that have been played on local radio stations. Recently, the AV students completed a new DVD presentation for incoming Freshmen that showcases various aspects of our high school.
All voice over work on the DVD was completed in our GretchKen sound booth. I have attached some pictures for you...photos from the assembly of the booth and of the work that goes on continually in it. (It is also wonderful for those overworked teachers who need a power nap or a scream room : ) ) Let me know if you need anything else from us. We are enjoying our booth and it has served us well.

My space for my home studio is quite limited and I needed an
ISO booth with no room for error on the dimensions.
Well, the booth is fabulous and fits like a glove.
It has all the features I need and needed no tools to assemble
it. Great concept. Gretchen is so accommodating  to work with
and easy to talk to, answering all my questions concerning my
custom sized needs. Great folks. Great service. Great product.
Great company. Glad I found you. Thank you!

I just wanted to let the team know that they did a great job on my booth!!
I use it everyday for my business, professional studio recording, as well as 
for my own personal use. Comes together like "Lego's" without even touching
a screwdriver. Amazing! Thanks for a great job and I'm sure I'll be purchasing
more accessories in the future.

We Love the booth! The engineers were so excited about how much easier
this booth was to put to assemble than any other booths on the market.
We really like how nice and tight everything fits together without
sound leaks of any kinds. We are using our booth to record tag lines in a
convention center and the booth will get a lot of use. Thank you for such a
quality product!

We needed one of Gretch-Ken Industries standard model booths
to cut down on the noise coming from a loud machine in our warehouse.
Gretch-Ken Industries custom designed a booth to fit our requirements
which had windows all the way around and a ventilation system on top.
We had to have a 35 db drop in frequencies ranges of 800-1500 hertz.
We were so thrilled when we assembled the booth and it worked great!

Hi guys!

Thought you might find this photo of interest, currently being shown on the
Haley-Davidson website. 

(Takes some browsing to find it.  go to:
http://www.harley-davidson.com/en/home.asp?bmLocale=en_US
then click on "View photos from the Open Road Tour".  Under "photo Essay",
select Toronto, and then click "next" until the image comes up.
It's roughly 16 frames in.)

As I'm sure you'll recognize, it's the sound isolation booth we bought from you,
which we "re-purposed" into a self-run video recording booth. 
Harley's guests enter the booth, close the door, and record a personal story about
their favorite ride, best bike story, etc. 
The "stories", recording in high-rez 16:9 DVCAM format, are archived,
and complied into reels, which are then edited/authored into DVDs and displayed
elsewhere in the show.

Booth is holding up nicely, having now traveled from Lorton, VA 
(where it was fitted out), to Atlanta, Baltimore, Los Angeles,
 and Toronto, and is now on its way to Dallas,
then Mexico City.  We're traveling it in one piece,
rather then breaking it down each time.

Love the product - we'll certainly keep you in mind for future installations.

This booth was custom designed
for Harley Davidson's 100th Anniversary Tour,
where Harley riders go into the booth and
record their Harley experiences and road trip stories.
This booth was custom designed with an interior
dividing wall to separate the camera
from the person telling the story.

The booth is working wonderful for me. I had several representatives
come to my hearing center and they were very pleased with the results of the booth.
I appreciate all the good customer service that was provided!
I will call you again if I need any more booths.

Although voiceover's are my livelihood, I never imagined putting one in my
house (studio). After doing the research I found out how expensive and
costly it could be. I got on the internet and found you guys and man what
a blessing. The entire experience was smooth and your suggestions
were right on. I saved myself a lot of headaches, and yes money.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My booth is the rave of my piers and
I don't have to drive as much (I live in Southern California).
Oh Yeah, one more thing. My booth arrived on a Thursday and I was
recording on Friday.

GK Acoustics worked with me every step of the way to create; not only a completely custom sized isolation booth to fit into the small space I had, but one that looks, works and sounds great as well.
The service and quality product I received from GK Acoustics was way above anything I could have expected.
Thanks a ton.

I've got a full blown Pro Tools system and lots of gear set up in my
apartment and my iso booth is piled full of speakers for various amps
including a half stack connected to a 50 watt Marshall.
The booth works well enough that I can wind up the Marshall to
get that signature roar! I also use it to record vocals. I've completed
several projects now - both my own and projects for friends.
We all dig it. It's also a great conversation piece☺

Well....WE LOVE IT!

Here's the report:

The thing arrived in fine shape. due to the fact that even the BUMS in NYC
are unionized, we had to uncrate it IN the truck outside the loading dock of
our building! No matter, we got it all in, THEN the fun began!

Partially cause we're idiots, and partially cause we were putting this in a
VERY tight space, the construction was not so smooth, but it IS mostly
our fault. Anyway, after getting an ex-football playing intern from one
of our clients to come up and help the two aging rockers (me + my bro),
we got it done. I was very impressed by the ease that things had
connecting once we got those corner braces in the right position.

The best thing is that I'm very happy we went with you guys.
We'd seen both your competitor's booths in different NYC
situations and were a bit unimpressed as to the amount of leakage
we heard. While none of these style booths are completely silent,
yours by far is the quietest! We figure this is due to the superior DOOR!

First thing we did with it was to record the vocals for the theme
of the new animated series coming in April on Comedy Central called
"SHORTIES". We're also doing a LOT of acoustic guitar recording in there
with a two mic setup. Sounds great!
The 6'x4' booth is also big enough to keep a 'half-stack' amp setup
in there and STILL be able to sit a guy down to record acoustic guitar
or winds, etc...

We started out doing most of our music "in the box", using samplers
and PODS. Having this booth means no more compromises!

Now then....the ONLY teensy gripe we have, and it aint a big one nor
unexpected, is the noise level of the cooling fan. While not horrendous,
it is a loud enough low hum to be too loud for any quiet recording
situations (vocals, acoustic guitar). I've heard and read similar gripes
with every other standard fan setup in these style booths so I was
kinda prepared. Having said that, the fan REALLY does move some
air in there!

That out of the way, we really LOVE the booth and feel secure we
went with the best company to build it! AND WE CAN TAKE IT WITH US!

Thanx again!

The booth works GREAT! and was easy to put together.
I use it for drums in an apartment building.
The booth cuts the noise down considerable, by more than half.
Not even the recording studio down stairs gets that good of results.
Gretchen gave me honest answers about the booths abilities, unlike other
companies I talked to, who told me what I wanted to hear just to make a sale.

I love my sound booth. I find it to be one of the most important pieces of my home studio.
Without my sound booth, i would not be able to record crisp quality vocals as I have been
For the past several months. This has been one of the most important purchases of my
musical career and has been essential in not only my vocal recording, but in also the peace
desired by my family and neighbors.
I am deeply grateful to you and your company for the prompt shipment, the easy assembly,

Hey Liz,
Still working on the documentary off and on. Got into commercial work, doing TV spots for
Pepsi and Clear Channel radio. Using the booth of course. My brother who's worked for
*a local Top Hits Radio Station* forever (he is the program director) thinks your iso booth
has a better sound environment than the million dollar 'set up' at *the local Top Hits Radio Station*.

The booth is working great. I purchased the booth because I needed a way to ensure an
acoustic continuity to all of the vocals that I record in my sound studio and the booth has
provided that continuity. It has ensured that the vocals I record are picked up and not all
of the outside noise that is part of the sound studio's environment. Thanks for a great product!

Sincerely in Christ,
