  • Clips is composed to two components: An L Bracket attached to our standard RSIC-1 Sounproofing Clip
  • Very popular within Home Theater applications. It creates a allowing an open chase for the new wires, all while retaining superior acoustical performance

Product Specification:

  • Cavity Maximum: 4”
  • Use on Ceilings: Yes
  • Use on Walls: No
  • New Construction: Yes

How Many Do I Need?

  • For a tight estimate, when spaced at 48" x 24": Take the square footage of the area to be treated and divide by 5.
  • However, to compensate for being within 6" to the walls / ceilings, we have found that calculating 23% of your total square footage will give you a more accurate estimate.

Special Quantity Discounts start at 100 Clips, see information above for details. Free Shipping applies to orders over $75.00 and above. See our Shipping / Return Tab to the right.

Product Data

How it Works:

RSIC Clips and Hat Channels / Furring Channels are used in the process of decoupling walls and/or ceilings from the joists or studs, creating what is called a floating wall or ceiling. Decoupling the wall or ceiling helps create a soundproof environment in two ways; by breaking the path and by creating resiliency.

In wall assemblies, the Clips are generally spaced every 48” OC, making the contact between the studs and boards minimal. This break in the path greatly reduces, in two ways, the amount of noise that travels from one side to the other. Firstly, there is no direct connection for sound to travel via the joists as the wall/ceiling is disconnected. Secondly, the wall and ceiling are given resiliency (flexibility), thus greatly reducing vibration (similar to shock springs on a car).

  • Ensure the location of the first row clips is within 8” of the wall at each end of a run.
  • Snap in the drywall furring channel (hat track) into the Clip at right angles (perpendicular or parallel) to the framing members.
Important Notes:
  • Resilient Sound Isolation Clip (RSIC-EXT04) ceiling system shall not carry heavy loads such as cabinets or bookshelves
  • Seal all potential air leaks with non-hardening acoustical caulking to achieve best noise control results. Use fire rated sealant where required.
