Ideal for leveling up an uneven ceiling and easily creates service voids
Easy to install and world-class performance
The LB2 type fixing allows fine vertical adjustment, perfect where ceiling joists are not level, or a service void is required for HVAC, ducting, cabling, etc.
For those customers wanting to incorporate the highest performance materials into their soundproofing projects we introduce the GenieClip solution.
The GenieClip is an innovative Canadian product which, in our opinion, offers significantly better protection against transmission when compared to a resilient bar.
This system is very useful where you wish to level up an uneven ceiling or conversely you wish to drop the GenieClip system lower and allow room for services such as plumbing or electrics.
The GenieClip LB2 System
The LB2 represents a state-of-the-art solution engineered to excel in sound control across diverse construction environments such as multifamily housing, high-rises, and commercial structures. Constructed with a unibody molded rubber and steel composition, this resilient sound isolation clip stands out as a robust measure for attenuating noise transmission.
A notable attribute of the GenieClip LB2 is its elongated steel bracket, enhancing its versatility in application. Whether employed as a standalone system or in tandem with a GenieClip wall or ceiling system, it offers flexibility to address specific sound control needs. The extended bracket functions to either extend or diminish the profile space between the plasterboard layer and floor joists or wall studs, providing essential support at the wall termination of furring channels.
What distinguishes the GenieClip LB2 is its adaptability. Users can opt to orientate the furring strips either perpendicular or parallel to the joist direction, allowing for a high level of customization. Moreover, the LB2 accommodates a "hybrid" solution, permitting a combination of standard GenieClip RST clips and LB2 clips. This flexibility proves particularly valuable when dealing with challenges presented by unconventional ceilings or specifications for multilevel ceilings or bulkheads.
In contrast to alternative acoustic ceiling hangers like Isosonic brackets, the GenieClip LB2 excels in its fine-tuning capabilities. It facilitates precise adjustments, empowering users to establish accurate drop heights. This level of precision may pose challenges or be unattainable with other acoustic hanger systems, making the GenieClip LB2 the preferred choice for those in search of meticulous and effective sound control solutions in construction projects.
The GenieClip system is a superior alternative to the conventional resilient bar system producing better performance and is far less prone to fitting error. In fact its virtually impossible to fit incorrectly.
It significantly improves low frequency sound control performance and this is often the hardest frequency to cope with. Of all the resilient solutions that fix direct to joist it offers the best performance.
How it works
The GenieClip is a moulded rubber and steel isolation clip used to to control the passage of noise. The integral springing mechanism providing much more dampening than the corrugations of a resilient bar system. In fact performance numbers are superior even with a single layer of plasterboard potentially saving on materials cost and labour.
The GenieClip superior performance stems from the generous moulded rubber body that sits within a galvanised steel frame work offering exceptional isolation. The GenieClip can be successfully used as part of a regulation E system.
Alongside using the LB2 to reduce depth loss, you can also use it to act as an extender of the GenieClip system to allow services to be run between the joist and the ceiling. This is confined now to the depth of the furring strip (23mm).
Furring Strips
The Furring Strip is designed specifically to be used with the GenieClip to provide a system which is both economical and gives highly effective sound attenuation.
Please note that other Furring strips will not fit the GenieClip system.

Looking for great alternative acoustic clip and bracket solutions?
Check out these alternatives soundproofing options:
GenieClip LB3 - Where high performance soundproofing is required but cannot afford the head height loss.
Type C Bracket - For projects where timber has been specified for counter battens and preventing sound transfer between surfaces is required.
Isosonic 45mm Bracket - Where metal (MF) sections are specified and a low cost/easy installation is needed.
Resilient Bars - For a reliable system that the delivers basic soundproofing performance levels.

Instructions for use
The GenieClip is screwed direct to stud, working in the same manner as that of a resilient bar system, and it houses "furring strips". To these furring strips plasterboard is screwed.
Impossible to fit incorrectly, unlike the resilient bar:

Don’t forget your GenieClip Furring Strips!
These furring strips are specially designed for use with the GenieClip system, including the LB2 and LB3 systems. As the same GenieClip is used across the three systems the same furring strip can be used, keeping things nice and simple.
Please Note: Other furring strips will not fit the GenieClip system.
I called Soundstop with lots of questions and the person I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I ended up purchasing soundproofed plasterboards and genie clip system from them
Two alcoves with independent stud walls built and insulation/clips installed.
The result? It works, was sceptical it would,so it was a gamble, sound reduced from neighbours is 70% less and now feel like our semi detached house is more like a fully detached! I’m glad I did it, took me 2 days in total.
All products for a LB2 soundproof ceiling are as expected and delivered on time. The advice given before ordering and before installation was second to none. The guys at soundstop really care that your project goes well. Can't recommend them enough!
From query to delivery always a pleasure to do business with. Can recommend enough. We have used both the standard and advanced (sbx) sm20 systems and they have both made a huge difference in a mid terraced house.
Soundstop are truly amazing at what they do. As a DIYer I need help and advice lots and the team are always there to help out.
The products themselves are top quality and worth of any recording studio never mind my party wall!
Keep up the good work!
The service from the team at Soundstop has been amazing. Jim advised me in the early stages and took my thinking to an end design which is now installed and working beyond my expectations Thankyou
Soundproofing a wall in a factory by a sandblasting booth
The items I have purchased from soundstop have been very useful in the application used to carry out the job requirements on the job that had to be done, the service from Lucy and Jim have been outstanding would use soundstop and would certainly recommend there services to another company or individual
All-round excellent service. Had a phonecall to confirm order minutes after making it online & had further calls keeping me updated on delivery. Very friendly & were more than happy to give some advice when needed.
Genie clips & bars were simple to install & there's good articles on the website for reference. Haven't heard anything from my neighbours yet!
I'd like to thank the team at Soundstop, they completely exceeded my expectations. The customer service is second to none and the delivery was on time as agreed. Very highly recommended.
I don’t think in nearly 23 years I’ve ever dealt with a company so efficient, knowledgeable and helpful! Delivery was very quick. When I needed some technical assistance, Jim was more than helpful. So much so that I felt I should’ve paid him a consultancy fee! Such a pleasure to do business with Soundshield. Amazing!
Very helpful, in helping us to what we needed to order, to soundproof our wall, it all arrived on time, first class service, will be using them again, Thankyou soundproof, for all your help.
My experience of phoning Soundstop for general help with soundproofing and specific help with their products has been a unique experience. A genuine desire to help backed up with the actual knowledge to be so.
I just wish all support calls could be so fruitful.
We had great telephone support whilst choosing the product. We bought Tecsound 70 which was easy to fit ( following the good instructions ) It is a great product and seems to work well. The carpet fitter was amazed by it and the shop are now interested in knowing more! Would recommend both Stopsound and the product
