Why the Genie Clip system is preferred by Pinnacle Sound for their soundsolutions

Updated: Sep 12

Introduction

The GenieClip RST is an acoustic resilient clip—a single-piece assembly combining moulded

rubber and galvanized steel. It's engineered to attach gypsum wallboard (drywall) to walls or

ceiling/floor structures in a manner that isolates and reduces sound transmission

Pinnacle Sound choose the GenieClip system because it solves several common

soundproofing challenges.

1. Genie Clip High-Performance Sound Isolation

• Decoupling principle – GenieClips physically separate (decouple) the plasterboard

from the structural framing, which prevents sound vibrations from travelling directly

through studs or joists.

• Works for airborne noise (voices, TV, music) and impact noise (footsteps, bass

rumble), which is critical in professional audio environments and residential noise

complaints.

• Consistently achieves STC ratings in the mid-50s to 60s (a single-number rating that

indicates how well a building partition like a wall, door, or window, reduces airborne

sound) which is considered excellent in building acoustics.

GenieClip RST – general use, robust soundproofing for ceilings and walls.
GenieClip LB3 – low-profile version to maintain ceiling height in places like basements or flats with low headroom.

• LB3’s low-profile bracket preserves up to 1–1.5 inches of ceiling height compared to

a standard clip setup.

• This matters for client satisfaction, especially in UK homes where ceiling height can

already be tight.

GenieClip products are well-documented with UK test data, building control acceptance, and supplier support.
They integrate smoothly with other UK-approved soundproofing materials like double plasterboard, acoustic membrane, and mineral wool.

Steel-and-rubber unibody construction resists sagging, compression, and failure over decades.
Unlike cheaper isolation clips, GenieClips maintain their acoustic properties even in humid or high-use environments.
