For twenty-six years, WhisperRoom Inc. has manufactured the finest sound isolation enclosures in the world. Today, we’re pleased to announce a new line of models that fully comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our engineering and design team carefully, and thoughtfully designed this new enclosure, making it possible for all people to have access to the best in the industry.

Passed by the United States Congress in 1990, the ADA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations — changes to the workplace or job — to allow employees with disabilities to do their jobs. Among other things, the ADA also ensures access to the built environment for people with disabilities. The ADA Standards establish design requirements for the construction and alteration of facilities subject to the law. These enforceable standards apply to places of public accommodation, and commercial, state, and local government facilities.

Available in seven sizes, our new ADA compliant WhisperRooms each has at least 5 feet of interior space for wheelchair maneuverability. Also, our ADA Package features a 32” wide door opening, a 1:12 ratio ramp, a door handle operable with a closed fist, a raised floor, and our new “no threshold” door design. Using WhisperRoom’s patented technology, these ADA compliant booths are portable and constructed with the same materials and craftsmanship as other WhisperRoom products.

The best part about our new ADA compliant enclosures it that you can expect the same quality as with any of our products. All of our enclosures significantly reduce outside noise and come equipped with Auralex acoustic foam (2” thick), a door window, and fluorescent lighting. All ADA compliant sizes will be available in both our single-wall (Standard) and double-wall (Enhanced) versions and will provide comparable noise reduction.

They can be purchased with or without a ventilation system, and our ADA booths also can include any of our other popular options such as Wall Windows, Audio Jack or XLR panels, Acoustic Tuning Package, or Studio Lights.
