what to fill these with?

Hi: I recently bought 4 isolation barriers from a studio that went under. They are wood construction and stand 70" tall and 46". the 6 individual compartments measure 22.5" x 22" x 2" and are on both sides of the panels. They can be used indivdually or hooked together i in pairs via hinges. They were filled with studio foam on one side and carpet on the back side. They burned incense in the studio and the foam and carpet stunk of it. I looked up studio foam and the auralex products seem to dominate my searches. When I wen to ebay, I saw similar sized foam for way less. Is this a case of product name or actual quality difference? I want to replace the panels with whatever material will work best for isolating guitar cabinets and drum kits. I am not commited to foam. Thanks! Walter

I would fill all of them with rigid fibre batts. You could wrap each fibre batt in fabric or just cover the whole front. I am not familiar with 703, so I don't know if it is stiff enough. I reckon it probably is. 705 certainly is. Roxul have various products with stiffness choices I believe. RS60 or RS100 would be fine. Ditto Rockwool or Rocksilk products. I wouldn't worry about going too 'dead' The close reflections from Gobos are unlikely to be nice/useful.

thanks DD! I live a few miles from the owens corning factory and my friend is an executive with them. Will the 704 do a similar job? Walter
