DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Specifier Note: The SonusClip DE90 is a proprietary product used for
mounting and decoupling in wall framing and ceiling systems. This
significantly reduces the amount of impact and airborne sound
filtering from rooms above, below, and alongside.
To maximize the noise control capacity and potential of the SonusClip
DE90, a professional acoustical engineer should be consulted.
To maximize the acoustical performance of the SonusClip DE90, it is
recommended the design load (dead or shear) not exceed 36 lb per
SonusClip DE90.
a.
Dead or Shear Load: maximum design load of 36 lb per each
SonusClip DE90.
b.
Conform to UL Fire Resistance Directory design assemblies, where
required.

INSTALLATION – CEILINGS
Specifier Note: Special consideration should be given to all
penetrations, such as recessed light fixtures, electrical boxes,
exhaust fans, and sprinkler heads to ensure the control of both STC
and IIC noise transfer. Consult Regupol America for additional
information.
a.
Space resilient sound isolation brackets:

2.
Maximum of 48” x 24” (1,200 x 600mm) on center with a double
layer of 5/8” (16mm) gypsum board.
b.
Fasten the resilient isolation brackets to the structure members
with approved fasteners.
c.
Locate the first and last row of brackets within 8” from the
wall.
d.
When drywall grid is used, the first row of brackets can be
spaced at 48” from the wall provided wall angle is used to

inter-section. The main runners and T’s must be mechanically
fastened to the wall angle with a screw or rivet.
e.
Use a minimum of 12 gauge annealed hanger wire tied to the
bracket through the existing hole in the vertical flange of the
bracket.
