Resilient Channel Spacing. This separation of the gypsum board from the studs impedes the transmission of airborne sound waves through the wall assembly by breaking their path. This discontinuous construction method dramatically reduces impact noise and structure borne noise with minimal increase in wall thickness.

Resilient channels should be attached to the ceiling joists at right angles as follows.
To function properly the resilient channel should be installed perpendicular to the support framing. Today many installers architects and material retailers refer to any channel with one leg as RC-1. There are several reasons for this. FASTENING THE RESILIENT CHANNEL TO THE JOIST WITH RC ASSURANCE For.
