I inadvertently deleted some pictures of the construction process, so no photos of the resilient channel installation. Check out Auralex's web site for more information about this product.

The purpose of the RC is to prevent sound transmission from the drywall to the framing. There were other choices I could have made here. I could have done staggered studs. But that wasn't feasible in my situation, as the room was already small and I couldn't afford to give away another few inches in all dimensions. I could have gone with the more expensive channel and clip. But, on the basis of my friend Jim's advice (determined though his research), I decided the RC would be sufficient.
