Building a DIY "Soundproof" Home Vocal Recording Studio (Part 2)

Edit: We recorded a full original song in our booth - and it's in Russian! Check it our here: • Our First Original (Lo...
Happy holidays everyone! I've finally managed to finish this sound booth project - and what a trip it's been! The internals are ready, sound is isolated and all the equipment is installed.
You can pick up the Rode AI-1 kit I used in this video at Amazon (affiliate link):

Besides giving you a tour of of the finished "acoustic chamber", I've also included the segment when I present my SO with her Christmas gift, and she sees the completed booth for the first time.
We're also going to unbox our new mic setup - a Rode NT1 and AI-1 complete home studio kit, after which we'll have a small sound test... And to top it all off we'll set off some Christmas fireworks as well!
Quite a bit to cram into one video, so I hope you enjoy the (rather long) result.
As for the Booth specs, here is a list of materials used (the 3d model is available in part 1 of this video series):
Synthetic Glass (50*100*4 mm) x1
Noise blocking Tape (12000*30*2mm) x1
Noise Blocking "putty" acoustic mats (600*500*2mm) x20
Plywood (1525*1525*10mm) x15
Acoustic sealant 290ml x3
Acoustic mineral fiber insulation panels (1250*600*50mm) x15
Timber (5*5*200 cm) x30
The total DIY construction cost came out to roughly $760 usd, far below what a similar unit would have cost me pre-built.
Thank you very much for watching! If you have any ideas on what you'd like me to film in Russia, let me know!
In this video we sing bits from the following songs:
Vivo per Lei, Strangers in the Night, Santa Claus is coming to Town, and Let it snow.
