Product Description Auralex's RC-8 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.RC-8 should be installed horizontally at the bottom and top of your wall, then every 2' or less in between. Up to (2) layers of 5/8" drywall and a layer of SheetBlok may be hung on RC-8, even on a ceiling.RC-8 is available in handy 8' lengths that are ground shippable. There are (24) 8' pieces per box. It's unbeatable! From the Manufacturer Auralex’s RC-8™ Resilient Channel is a specifically designed durable, yet flexible 25 gauge steel channel used to attach drywall indirectly to the supporting wall structure. This mechanical decoupling increases the sound transmission class of the wall or ceiling system. The performance of RC-8™ can be enhanced using dual layers of differing thicknesses of drywall with a layer of Auralex® SheetBlok™ in between.
