Significantly reduce low-frequency impact noise transfer—the major source of noise complaints in wood structures.
GenieClip® RST is engineered as a high-performance alternative to resilient channel (RC), isolating drywall from ceiling and wall structures. Its one-piece, molded-rubber and galvanized-steel design uses only a single fastener for fast and reliable installation.
This sound control clip is designed to:
Significantly reduce low-frequency impact noise transfer—the major source of noise complaints in wood structures.
GenieClips are designed to prevent short-circuiting from screws hitting the studs behind—a common failure with resilient channels.
Allows for reduction in the number of gypsum board layers on a wall or reduces/eliminates gypsum concrete floor toppings without sacrificing acoustic performance.
Over 400 acoustically tested assemblies and 40 UL listings ensure the GenieClip is tested to meet your acoustic and fire rating requirements.
GenieClip® RST can be easily installed in a variety of applications to improve sound isolation performance, from DIY to large-scale commercial installations. Common applications include:

GenieClip® RST is compatible with a wide range of drywall assemblies, from single-layer ½-inch boards to multiple layers of ⅝-inch drywall. The GenieClip maximum spacing of 24” x 48” can hold up to 2 layers of ⅝-inch drywall. Contact Pliteq’s engineering team for further questions or information on spacing.
Independent lab testing shows GenieClip® RST consistently outperforms traditional resilient channel (RC) systems. By eliminating the risk of short-circuiting and maintaining long-term isolation, GenieClip® assemblies deliver higher STC and IIC ratings for more reliable sound control in both walls and ceilings.
Each GenieClip® RST is engineered to support up to 16 lbs per clip, with a tested safety margin. Standard installation requires spacing clips every 48 inches along the furring channel and up to 24 inches between rows. This maximum spacing allows for up to 2 layers of ⅝” gypsum board. Following these guidelines ensures both code compliance and optimal acoustic performance.
