Hi everyone, I have spend many months here in ireland trying to sourse different materials for my studio build. Can somebody confirm that these resilient channels are the correct type for acoustic applications...

its looks more like a single leg furring strip... most resilient channel has holes cur into the support leg to provide more decoupling. here's an example: http://www.soundproofing.org/images/RC- ... _proof.jpg Dietrich Steel or similar products will generally be more cost effective than getting RC from a dedicated acoustics treatment supply company.
