Silent Sister
A fully enclosed isolation speaker cabinet for quiet at-home or backstage recording, with dual mic goosenecks and a rear pressure-relief labyrinth.
About this amp
Rivera’s answer to the common problems with isolation cabinets: instead of sealing the mic and speaker cone in dead air (which distorts both the diaphragm and the cone), the Silent Sister uses a labor-intensive rear air labyrinth to relieve pressure and tame standing waves while still heavily attenuating the volume that escapes the cabinet. It ships with two pre-wired XLR mic goosenecks, a standard Celestion G12T-75 speaker, built-in casters, and a top-mounted door for easy mic placement.
