Dreaming of building your own phone box? We understand the appeal of the DIY idea, but let's pause for a moment and think about what makes a professional phone box.
More than just four walls
A professional telephone box is a small technical marvel and consists of many coordinated components:
- Sound insulation: Good sound insulation is achieved by perfectly matching components - gaps and slits or doors that do not close completely tightly must be avoided at all costs during construction (more information at Sound insulation).
- Ventilation: So that you always get enough fresh air and your body heat can be transported away (more information at Air exchange).
- Lighting: For the perfect light for your video calls.
- Motion detector: For automatic switching on and off of light and ventilation (more information at Ventilation control).
These features are not exactly easy to implement yourself, unless you are an unrecognised engineering genius.
For the intrepid: Our mini phone box craft project
If, despite our warning, you feel the irrepressible urge to do it yourself, we have something for you: our DIY instructions for a mini Jetson L4 meeting box. Perfect for anyone who likes to work with paper and scissors, but perhaps not quite so suitable for your next video conference 🙂
The smarter alternative
For all those who prefer to play it safe and still don't want to dig deep into their pockets, we recommend taking a look at our affordable telephone and meeting boxes from the entry-level segment, such as the genuine Jetson boxes or alternatively the acoustic cubes from the Bosselino family. These offer all the important features without you having to deal with complex technology - and may even end up being cheaper than the self-built DIY store version.
Conclusion: Let professionals get to work
Even if we admire your desire to tinker - when it comes to telephone boxes, it is advisable to rely on professional solutions. After all, you don't just want to look good in your calls, you also want to sound good and feel good. And who knows - maybe our paper mini box will inspire you to take on other creative projects where the chances of success are a little higher.
