Sound-Isolating Channel Specifications

The Auralex RC-8 is a steel sound-isolating channel designed for wall isolation in facility and traffic safety applications. It comes in a pack of twenty-four pieces, each measuring eight feet in length. The product is supplied new and finished in gray.

Installation Requirements and Space Impact

Each channel is 13/64 feet wide, providing a consistent profile for structural integration. The steel construction allows the channel to be fastened into standard wall assemblies without additional proprietary hardware. Using this channel creates a decoupled layer that reduces sound transmission through the wall cavity.

Sustained Performance Characteristics

The steel material maintains its structural integrity and isolation properties over extended periods without degradation. It resists compression and sagging under continuous load, ensuring the acoustic separation remains effective. The channel delivers consistent sound isolation performance throughout the life of the installation.

Questions about this item

How much does the 0.5 in thickness reduce low-frequency transmission?

The half-inch steel channel decouples studs from drywall, adding mass and breaking the direct vibration path that carries bass through walls.

Will the steel expand or creak when HVAC runs all day?

Steel remains dimensionally stable through temperature cycles, so the channel will not bow, pop, or transmit structure-borne noise during continuous operation.

Which fasteners and framing layout do I need before installing the 24-piece pack?

Plan for 24-gauge hat channel screws spaced 16 in on centre, wood or metal studs at 24 in centres, and a screw gun to secure each 8 ft length.
