What types of damping materials are used inside Genelec monitor and subwoofer products? Are the materials safe to use?

Genelec products use various damping materials such as glass fiber wool, linen fiber wool and polyester fiber based material (PES). The table below provides detailed listing of our models and the type of damping material used.

During operation, the air moving in and out of the monitor loudspeaker or subwoofer bass reflex openings does not emit significant amounts of fiber particle dust.

The PES wool as material does not emit dust. The linen wool and glass fiber wool can emit a minimum amounts of dust during very high sound level operation. This fiber dust is not hazardous to health.
