Hi All:
my first post here and need some advice.I have acoustic foam at the moment and it does ok ..it stops some reflections ..i have a 15 foot long and 10 foot wide room with an 8 foot ceiling approx.I have my speakers isolated on iso acoustic stands and they are a foot and a half from the rear wall.The desk is situated equidistant from the long walls so that the short walls are behind me and behind the speakers ..As far as I am aware this is a good practice (correct me if im wrong )..but everywhere i read foam is crap!!!.So i look into the idea of rockwool acoustic panels ..all is great ..quite cheap seem easy enough to make ..BUT ..the fibres ..i cant get my head past the danger of fibres ..Can anyone rest my mind ..perhaps explain how safe or unsafe it is to use them assuming im using the usual cloth types to cover the wool
many thanks in advance
