I would say that it does cut down the sound in the worship center. It is meant for a smaller drum set then we have. We made it work. The one fan is not enough, so I recommend that you get additional fans.

We had a Stage drum volume issue at our church for over 20 years. In one week it was resolved with this product. We can't say enough good things about how this has fixed our problem.
Thank you, thank you thank you.
Our stage drop volume was reduced by 78%

For three years, our services have been plagued with noisy acoustic drum set. We made a decision to purchase this isolation booth package from Sweetwater and it's the best decision we ever made. The service is a whole lot better and the members of the church eve noticed the quality of our sound. The cage dampened the noise tremendously. I recommend to any church who needs a good isolation cage for their auditorium. Sales rep was very helpful too.

This thing is amazing. It is exactly what I was hoping for. It helped reduce my sound perfectly and I love how portable it is. I'm glad I finally got one and now with the music sounding like it should it opens me up to new inspiration and excitement to create new music. Another thing is the shipping was very prompt. Good stuff, highly recommended.

I dig it. It does exactly what it says. Reduced my drum kit enough to set up in garage space of my apt building and the other 6 units are fine with it. Boom!!!

I hate the sound of electric drums...hate. However, acoustic drums in a small to medium size church environment can get overpowering at times even with the best players. To alleviate this we researched isolation and landed on the MiniMega. It does exactly what it says it will do. I took a reading with a db meter at the front of our stage. Reading averaged around 102 without the system. After putting up the shield our reading was 72! It took around 3 hours to put it together the first time. It is very spacious for the drummer as well. I wouldn't go for any of the smaller isopacs if you have a full drum set with a floor tom. Unlike the only other review, we found if following the instructions properly the MiniMega was very sturdy and should last a long time. We've been using this system for almost 2 months now with no major or really minor issues which hamper it's effectiveness. This was part of a campaign over the last few months to lower our stage volume and get as much sound into our sound system as possible without excess stage volume. We were able to achieve a 52% decrease in stage volume after isolating the drums, percussion, and electric guitar camps with solutions from ClearSonic.

My only complaint with the system is the door. Sometime in the future I hope they develop a better way to handle the door. It's very cumbersome and awkward to move but I only removed 1/2 a star because of that. #firstworldproblems

Bottom line: If you're in a small to medium size church and are tired of mixing to the drums, have inexperienced drummers who have one volume, or just want to improve the overall mix for the congregation this is a great investment. You'll need mics and I recommend the samson 8-kit which is affordable and extremely effective to get these drums to the board.

Very disappointed with the Clearsonic MiniMega. Very flimsy, materials are very poor, it is impossible to arrange the panels in the configuration specified in the manual and have the ceiling panels cover the unit. Impossible to open/close Plexiglas panel to enter/exit without having the roof cave in or the interior panels fall off. Sound reduction claims are way off - does not reduce sound 60-70% as claimed, more like 10-20%. Not worth the money at all.
