Overview
The Trademark Soundproofing Genuine RSIC-1 Resilient Sound Clip with Mounting Screws supports structural decoupling in wall and ceiling assemblies. Also, the system creates separation between framing and the attached gypsum board surface.
The clips are designed to support impact sound control and general sound reduction. Also, they support additional STC improvement when installed with the specified assembly configuration and layout. Product materials list gains of up to 15 additional STC points when used as specified.
The 10-pack sound isolation clip kit includes clips, mounting screws, and a TMS installation guide. It covers residential and studio environments where structural isolation is required.
Key takeaways
- The system uses resilient clips to separate gypsum board surfaces from direct structural contact.
- Each clip carries a 36-pound load rating at 24-inch by 48-inch spacing.
- The specified layout supports two layers of 5/8-inch drywall.
- The clips work with wood framing, steel framing, CMU, and concrete assemblies.
- The pack includes 10 isolation clips, 10 mounting screws, and an installation guide.
- The system carries a UL fire-rated designation.
What the product is designed to do
This sound isolation clip system is intended for ceiling and wall assemblies that require structural decoupling. Also, decoupling separates the finished gypsum board surface from direct contact with the framing structure.
The clips interface with appropriate channel systems to maintain that separation. For example, installers may combine the clips with compatible furring channels and drywall layers in a decoupled assembly.
The system supports impact sound control and general sound reduction in wall and ceiling assemblies. In addition, product materials connect the assembly with up to 15 additional STC points when used as specified.
For more assembly context, this guide to soundproofing a wall covers wall construction as a complete system. The clip system belongs within an established framing and drywall assembly.

Installation and placement notes
The clips are intended for direct fastening to framing members or suitable structural substrates. Also, the included mounting screws provide the identified fasteners for the isolation hardware.
The specified layout places clips in a 24-inch by 48-inch pattern. As a result, spacing directly connects with the stated load rating and drywall support capacity.
Each clip supports 36 pounds under the specified spacing conditions. In addition, that layout supports two layers of 5/8-inch drywall.
Clips interface with appropriate channel systems to maintain decoupling across the assembly. This hat channel and sound isolation clip guide adds related wall and ceiling context.
Installers should follow the included guide to maintain the specified spacing and load parameters. The resilient sound clip solution is intended for structured wall and ceiling installations.
Performance characteristics described
The system supports impact sound control and general sound reduction through structural isolation. Also, the clips separate the attached gypsum board surface from direct structural contact.
Product materials list gains of up to 15 STC points in sound reduction when used as specified. However, that wording ties performance to the assembly configuration, clip layout, and spacing.
The maximum load remains 36 pounds per clip at 24-inch by 48-inch spacing. In addition, the same conditions support two layers of 5/8-inch drywall.
