Auralex RC-8™ Resilient Channel – Professional Sound Isolation Rails

Achieve superior sound decoupling in your next construction project with the Auralex RC-8™ Resilient Channel. A critical component for high-performance soundproofing, these rails are designed to mechanically decouple drywall from the wall studs, significantly reducing the transmission of structural vibrations and sound energy.

The RC-8™ is a specially shaped, high-quality metal rail that acts as a flexible bridge. By attaching the drywall to the resilient channel rather than directly to the wooden or metal studs, you create an "air gap" that effectively breaks the path of sound travel. The rails feature a perforated design to minimize surface contact and maximize decoupling efficiency.

• Exceptional Sound Isolation: Dramatically improves the STC (Sound Transmission Class) of wall and ceiling assemblies by decoupling building materials.

• High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from durable, professional-grade steel for long-lasting structural integrity.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for recording studios, home theaters, multi-family housing, and any environment requiring serious noise control.

• Ease of Installation: Designed for standard construction workflows, showing how it creates a resilient break between the stud and drywall.

• Cost-Effective Decoupling: One of the most affordable and efficient ways to treat structural vibration without building a "room within a room."

Details:

• RC-8™ is made from 25-gauge steel

• Meets Class A Fire-rating per ASTM E-84*
