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.
It is designed to support impact sound control and general sound reduction. In addition, product materials connect the specified assembly with gains of up to 15 additional STC points.
Realistic expectations depend on the complete assembly, clip layout, and spacing. The system supports structural isolation when used with appropriate channels and gypsum board layers. It is designed for residential and studio environments requiring wall or ceiling isolation.
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 support wood framing, steel framing, CMU, and concrete assemblies.
- The pack includes 10 isolation clips, 10 mounting screws, and a TMS installation guide.
- The system carries a UL fire-rated designation.
What the product is designed to do
This resilient sound clip system supports structural decoupling in ceiling and wall assemblies. 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, the clips may work with compatible furring channels and drywall layers in a decoupled assembly.
The system supports impact sound control and general sound reduction. In addition, product materials connect the specified assembly with gains of up to 15 additional STC points.
A complete wall assembly includes framing, clips, channels, and gypsum board layers. This guide to soundproofing a wall adds broader construction context for that type of system.

Installation and placement notes
The clips are intended for direct fastening to framing members or suitable structural substrates. Also, the included mounting screws serve as the identified fasteners for the isolation hardware.
The specified layout places clips in a 24-inch by 48-inch pattern. As a result, spacing connects directly 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.
The clips interface with appropriate channel systems to maintain separation across the assembly. Next, the gypsum board layers attach to the channel system rather than directly to framing.
The included TMS installation guide covers the specified layout and fastening approach. The RSIC-1 clip kit 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 additional STC points when used as specified. However, this performance wording depends on 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.
The system covers residential and studio environments that require structural isolation. It also supports wall and ceiling assemblies using wood framing, steel framing, CMU, or concrete.
