When it comes to recording studios, audio/video post-production, or mastering rooms, the focus often shifts to soundproofing, acoustic treatment, and technology. However, there is an often-overlooked aspect, which is air exchange.
A perfectly acoustically isolated environment risks turning into a closed box, where air quality deteriorates rapidly, compromising comfort, health, and even creative output. This is where the BOXYGEN product comes into play, the ventilation system developed by BoXy.
It is not just a simple accessory, but a system capable of integrating comfort and silence in contexts where even minimal noise can ruin a recording. BOXYGEN is born from experience: from the needs of professional studios to trade show applications, where portability and autonomy become essential.
BOXYGEN and traditional systems: integration and alternative solutions
One of the crucial aspects of the BoXy system is its total compatibility with traditional air conditioning and ventilation solutions.
Whatever technology is chosen, BoXy accommodates its operation and filters the airflow silently, maintaining the acoustic quality of the environment. Every Boxy cabin or room is already prepared to host any air conditioning system, such as splits or air conditioners. 
In some cases, however, and in environments with specific volumes, a specific treatment is necessary: BOXYGEN offers this solution, without invasive interventions or “patched” solutions.
In many cases, it is not necessary to “abandon” traditional systems, but to enhance them through a constructive infrastructure that takes care of:
- isolating noise generated by airflow,
- ensuring constant and controlled air exchange,
- maintaining consistency between thermal comfort and acoustic performance.
In all those cases where traditional systems cannot be adopted, BOXYGEN comes into play, the stand-alone solution developed by BoXy: a compact, portable, and high-performance system that integrates air treatment without the need for external units. What are some of the cases?
- lack of space to install external units
- architectural constraints that do not allow invasive ducting
- excessive distance from hot/cold water networks
- temporary situations (fairs, mobile installations, portable studios) come into play
The fundamental concept is that with BoXy you can use any traditional technology, confident that acoustic performance will always be respected; if you find yourself in a limiting context, BOXYGEN offers you a silent and autonomous alternative, without compromises.
The 3 strengths of BOXYGEN
- silent air exchange, ensuring the necessary volume without introducing unwanted noise,
- adaptability, because BOXYGEN integrates into all situations where traditional ventilation systems cannot be installed, always offering effective and non-invasive air exchange.
- total control, with the ability to adjust airflow according to the specific needs of each environment.
To understand the value of this approach, just think of traditional solutions that often use internal splits that introduce air into the space at a certain temperature, forcing the air conditioner to compensate with enormous energy expenditure, especially in cases of small to medium-sized rooms.
Result? Unstable comfort, high consumption, and above all, a system that does not guarantee the required silence in a recording environment. BOXYGEN solves this compromise through treated air passage, maintaining a constant temperature and reducing ventilation noise.
It’s like having three “sliders” (acoustics, thermal comfort, air quality) that instead of competing with each other finally manage to move in harmony. A concrete example?
At trade shows, BOXYGEN has made it possible to air-condition large cabins without resorting to long stretches of ductwork or bulky external units. In those contexts, portability is a decisive plus: the system is assembled, used, and disassembled with the same ease as a portable “penguin,” but with ten times the performance.
BOXYGEN in practice: solutions for studios and special projects
If at trade shows the key word is portability, in professional studios, the main need is performance stability.
Here, BOXYGEN becomes a strategic ally. In a typical radio or post-production studio, in addition to the heat generated by people, one must dissipate the kilowatts produced by electronic equipment.
In a control room of 20 m², for example, the thermal load can reach 6–8 kW. Without adequate air exchange, the internal temperature would become unbearable in a few hours.
With BOXYGEN, the treated air enters at the desired temperature and is distributed evenly.
This means that:
– there is no need to “fight” between warm air being introduced and splits that cool,
– the ventilation noise remains below the thresholds perceptible in recording,
– the system can be precisely sized according to the actual needs of the client. 
A recent and significant example of BOXYGEN’s use can be found in the new Universal studios in Milan, where the goal was to ensure high-level ventilation without resorting to external ducting.
Another concrete example is the “Capsule of Milan,” powered by two BOXYGEN systems, which allowed avoiding costly and lengthy ductwork to bring hot and cold water to the cabin. This way, installation costs were significantly reduced while simultaneously increasing efficiency and internal yield.
These examples show that BOXYGEN is not just a machine, but a solution in design: portability, autonomy, and acoustic guarantee in every context.
Benefits of BOXYGEN and why choose it
So we come to the key point: why should an acoustic designer, a recording studio, or a broadcaster consider BOXYGEN? Here are the main advantages:
- Guaranteed silence The air passes through the construction system already silenced, eliminating the problem of ventilation noise at its root.
- Absolute flexibility BOXYGEN adapts even to contexts where space or structural conditions do not allow the use of traditional ventilation systems.
- Portability Unlike a traditional system, BOXYGEN can be disassembled and reassembled with the cabin.
