We've taken what makes the VO2GO great and reduced the entire kit in size to make carrying your studio with you easier than ever! |
||||
| How much smaller? | The carrying case has been reduced from a "luggable" 30lbs to an extremely easy to carry hard case coming in under 10lbs complete! It's not much bigger than a lunch box so you can easily stow it under the seat or overhead, even when the plane is overbooked. |
||||
| How did we do it? | The primary difference is the choice in computer. Rather than toting a full size notebook computer such as a Macbook, our ultra-portable kit utilizes the absolute latest in Ultra Mobile PC or UMPC technology. We've removed the bulky printer from the latest edition to further reduce the size and weight of the kit. The computer is so small you can hold it comfortably much like a book and read from the screen, or print from the business center of your hotel. | ||||
| How about options? | We offer three levels of the Don LaFontaine VO2GO portable studio.
|
||||
| I want one! | Thanks to the support of Don LaFontaine and Joe Cipriano, we're able to offer the "Don LaFontaine VO2GO" at very reasonable prices. We plan to announce the pricing of our kits at VOICE 2008, so stay tuned! | ||||

| The Problem | You love your job, but you don't love working from the same booth, in the same place, day in day out, year after year. | ||||
| Want to take a vacation but can't because you are on-call 24/7 and need to have ISDN? | |||||
| NOW YOU CAN! | |||||
| The Solution | The VO2GO Portable Voice Over studio is the necessary components one needs to record or send a quality voice over packed neatly into the smallest possible case that still provides adequate protection for the equipment. These days when flying, you might be surprised at the gate by the news that you must check your roll-aboard bag. The Pelican 1510 case will fit in an overhead bin of an airplane, but can protect the gear in case it must be checked as luggage. It can be shipped by applying a label to the exterior without additional packaging, as well.
The talent is allowed the freedom to work from the road, while providing the same level of service and accessibility to their clients. Outofhear.com, a bridging service that allows remote studio users off of ISDN to connect to ISDN only studios, has 8 VO2GO's ready to rent if purchasing a kit of your own is out of reach. Out Of Hear even provides the traveling voice talent a dedicated Telos Zephyr for their clients to dial into, making things as easy as possible for the studio and client. |

| The Gear | Apple Powerbook or MacBook (PC is available), Mbox 2 Mini (for Pro Tools) or USBPre, Sound Devices MM-1 Mic preamp/headphone amp, Canon ip90 printer, Sennheiser 416 mic, iLok key for Source Connect plugin, pop filter, headphones, desktop mic stand, power supplies, and cables. Nothing on the gear list should be of any huge surprise to any seasoned voice actor with a studio of his/her own. However it's how it is packaged and presented, complete with assembly instructions and video, that makes VO2GO so unique and easy to use. The key to making VO2GO work as a replacement for ISDN is a stable, highspeed Internet connection. The average DSL modem provides enough bandwidth to handle the data. Is it is reliable as ISDN? No, not yet. ISDN creates a point to point connection completely "off the grid" of the Internet. Once a connection is established with ISDN, it is RARELY lost, and you are guaranteed 128kb/s bandwidth required for the current industry standard audio codec configuration. Anytime you are using the Internet to send/receive data, you are subject to any variations in bandwidth and quality that occurs from Point A to Point B. To create a stable, real time audio link between two remote users can require a LOT of error correction, which translates into somewhat increased delay over ISDN. However, given a good enough connection (300kb/s Up/Down), the stability is very good, and the sound quality is superb, superior to MP3 quality. |
