XL Pod

Prices for large “plug-and-play” pods start around $12 K for thin-wall imports and soar past $30 K for European glass cubes. The PrivacyPod XL Pod comes in at $13,995 freight-paid, and that figure already covers six-fan ventilation, motion-sensing LEDs, USB-C fast charging, and your choice of four furniture kits. Because we manufacture in an ISO-9001 plant and sell factory-direct, every dollar goes into the booth—not dealer margins or patch-and-paint. Build the same 100 ft² conference room in drywall and glass and you’ll spend 40–60 % more once permits, trades, and sprinkler tie-ins are tallied—plus you can’t roll that room onto the truck when your lease is up.

Return on investment sits at the crossroads of acoustics, space efficiency, and relocation flexibility. Independent tests rate the XL at STC 30, enough privacy for board reviews or M&A calls, while claiming barely nine square meters of floor area. A 2024 JLL utilization study shows rooms built for 5–8 people hit the booking sweet-spot in hybrid offices, filling 2.3× more hours per week than both larger conference suites and huddle alcoves. Drop in one XL Pod and you free your built-in conference rooms for all-hands events, squeezing maximum value out of every square foot—year after year, lease after lease.

Hybrid work has turned every big meeting into a multi-screen, multi-speaker affair, and open plans rarely buffer that noise. Add in WELL and LEED standards that now score points for speech privacy, plus corporate ESG goals that favor relocatable, low-carbon solutions, and fixed drywall starts to look dated fast. The XL Pod rolls in fully finished, skips demolition debris, and can cut embodied CO₂ by up to 30 % over a 10-year span versus stick-built rooms (Columbia University Center for Buildings, 2023). When the talent you’re fighting for expects smart, sustainable amenities, a modular think-tank isn’t a luxury—it's table stakes.

Roughly the footprint of two parking spaces—W ≈ 102 in × D ≈ 103 in × H ≈ 92 in—the XL still glides on hidden casters and 8 mm damping feet, so it rolls through double doors, clears most freight elevators, and parks on raised access floors without core drilling. Planning tips: leave 4 in behind for airflow, 5 ft in front for the glass door swing, and a standard 120 V outlet within the included 8-ft cord. Need to re-stack the floor? Two facilities techs can disassemble, palletize, and relocate the pod in half a shift—no landlord approvals, no downtime, zero stranded assets.

Independent lab tests to ISO 23351-1 rate the XL Pod at STC 30 dB (±3 dB)—roughly the difference between a corridor conversation and a library hush. Inside, brainstorms, sales negotiations, or podcast recordings stay intelligible and echo-free, while colleagues outside hear only a faint murmur. That balance preserves focus on both sides of the glass and protects confidential content without the oppressive “dead-room” feel of heavy drywall. Five-layer wall construction—steel, MDF mass layer, dual-density PET insulation, and wool-felt finish—plus studio-grade perimeter gaskets create a seal that rivals purpose-built broadcast suites, yet rolls in without a single permit.

Six whisper-quiet ceiling fans move ≈ 751 m³/h of fresh air—over 40 complete cabin air exchanges per hour—while never breaking the 40 dBA mark that can muddy microphones. A motion sensor automatically spools fans and the dimmable LED strips up when occupants enter and powers them down when empty, trimming energy use for WELL- or LEED-minded facilities. Because air intakes sit low and exhausts high, cross-flow ventilation sweeps body heat, CO₂, and VOCs out of the pod in under 90 seconds, so white-boarding sprints stay sharp and webcams stay fog-free—even after back-to-back meetings.

Every XL ships plug-and-play on a single 15-amp, 120-volt circuit. Inside you’ll find four tamper-resistant AC outlets, USB-A and USB-C fast-charge ports, and a motion-controlled lighting/ventilation hub. Need hardline connectivity? Add the flush-mounted Ethernet and a Fabric Back Wall to run a display, speaker bar, or camera without snaking cables through the door. For wireless screen-sharing, spec the Bluetooth Audio Module or drop-in chargers on the tabletop. All ports are front-serviceable, so IT can swap or upgrade hardware in minutes—no drywall cuts, no cable fishing, no downtime.

From purchase order to first meeting, typical lead time is 8-9 weeks, with on-site build averaging 2.5 hours using the included tool set—no carpenter, electrician, or inspection required. Hidden casters and 8 mm damping feet mean the fully assembled pod can be rolled across polished concrete, carpet tiles, or access floors without scuffs, then re-leveled in seconds. When it’s time to re-stack or move buildings, two facilities technicians can disassemble, palletize, and load the booth in half a day—saving the 50–70 % demolition cost that comes with tearing out a fixed conference room and ensuring your investment travels wherever your team’s next big idea takes root.
