What is a sound channel

Sailfish | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I’ve read some stuff (obviously not enough) about soundproofing and have read the term “sound channel’. What is it, and whats the premise?

Thanks

      Do a Google on Hat or RC Channel. Should get more info that you would ever want!

    You might be referring to resilient channel, a rollformed light-gage galvanized steel section, about 5/8" high by 1-1/4" wide in x-section, typically sold in 10 or 12 foot lengths.

    Go to the Dietrich Industries website, check out their drywall specialties catalog, and you will see the various choices.
