Podcasters

If you record podcasts in a home studio, you know that a window unit’s compressor hum can bleed straight into a sensitive microphone. Your acoustic panels help control echo, but they also trap heat, making long sessions with guests uncomfortable. A ductless mini split delivers steady, quiet cooling without adding noise to your audio.

For this room

Podcasters

Window units rattle through the wall and cycle on and off, creating sudden noise that ruins a take. Our mini splits use inverter compressors that run continuously at a low speed, so there’s no abrupt start or stop. The indoor unit itself is whisper quiet, and we can place the outdoor compressor away from your studio to keep mechanical sound out of the room.

Acoustic foam and closed doors turn a small room into an oven, especially during a three hour interview. A ductless system keeps the temperature even without blasting air or making a racket. You can leave the door shut and stay comfortable through the whole session without worrying about background hum on your mic.

Our standard installation is $2,400 flat rate, materials and labor included. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price (the amount changes weekly and is posted on our homepage). Booking requires a $400 materials deposit to hold the date, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. Sizing is done by rule of thumb and confirmed with an on site visit, so we don’t promise a specific BTU number until we see your room.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

Will a mini split be quiet enough for a recording studio?

Yes. The indoor unit runs at a very low decibel level, quieter than most window units. And because the compressor is outside, you won’t hear any vibration or hum through the walls.

How do you install the unit without messing up my acoustic panels?

We work around your existing treatment. The indoor unit mounts on an exterior wall and the refrigerant lines run outside, so we don’t need to cut into your acoustic foam or fabric panels.

How do you figure out the right size for my small studio?

We use a rule of thumb based on square footage and typical heat load, but the final sizing is confirmed during an on site visit. We won’t promise a specific BTU number until we see your room’s insulation, windows, and equipment.

Can I schedule my installation on a Joker Day to save money?

Yes. The Joker Day changes each week, and that day’s lower price is shown on our homepage. Booking requires the same $400 deposit, and the rest is due when the work is done.

Do you install the indoor unit in a specific spot to avoid noise?

We recommend placing it on an exterior wall for easy line routing, but we discuss exact placement during the site visit. Our goal is to keep the air stream away from your mic and the unit out of your sight line.
