RC-1 Boost - Rubber Isolator for RC-1 Channel
The RC-1 Boost is a cost-effective way to increase soundproofing performance, and also prevent common install issues with resilient channel. Not all resilient channel is created equal - either due to the quality of the channel or the quality of the install. The RC-1 Boost solves assemblies failing to hit their rated acoustical performance, and even increases performance by several points.
