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. You want to take a vacation but can't because you are on-call 24/7 and need access to ISDN connectivity.
The Solution
The VO2GO Portable Voice Over studio has 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. You may also choose a NAMBA studio backpack, should it suit your needs better.
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 MacBook or Dell Mini, Mbox 2 Mini (for Pro Tools) or CEntrance MicPort Pro, Canon ip90 printer, Rode NTG1, NTG3 or 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.
Don't need a printer? The kit gets much smaller, as little as 10 lbs!
The Details
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 excellent and the sound quality is superb, superior to ISDN quality. Many users have even had success using a 3G mobile data connection!
