RC-8 Resilient Channel
Auralex's
RC8 Resilient Channel is a specially-formed, sturdy metal device that,
when used to hang drywall (instead of just attaching the drywall to the
studs or joists), GREATLY improves the sound transmission characteristics
of the wall or ceiling system. RC8 Resilient Channel adds 1/2" of
airspace between the studs and drywall and can provide as much as 10 dB
of isolation if used properly.
RC8 should
be installed horizontally at the bottom and top of your wall, then every
2 feet or less in between. (Example: An 8' high wall would require (5)
8-foot sections of RC-8 per 8' of wall width.)
Up to (2)
layers of 5/8" drywall - or one layer of 5/8" drywall, one layer
of Auralex SheetBlok and one layer of 1/2" drywall - may be hung on RC8, even on a ceiling.
Size:
8' long per piece
Qty: 24 pieces per box
