The GenieClip LB2 is the ultimate acoustic solution for soundproofing walls and ceilings in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Designed with precision engineering, this product not only excels in noise isolation but also provides versatility for projects requiring precise adjustments, such as levelling uneven ceilings or creating service voids. With its extended bracket, the GenieClip LB2 is an advanced iteration of the original GenieClip RST, offering enhanced flexibility without compromising on the market-leading acoustic performance it’s known for.
Whether you’re dealing with structural irregularities or need to accommodate HVAC systems, plumbing, or cabling, the GenieClip LB2 system ensures optimal soundproofing in even the most complex scenarios.
What is the GenieClip LB2?
The GenieClip LB2 is an advanced sound isolation clip featuring an extended L-shaped steel bracket. This design makes it the perfect solution for scenarios where traditional soundproofing methods fall short. Its primary function is to decouple plasterboard from structural elements, reducing sound transmission and dampening vibrations effectively.
The LB2 version adds further value by allowing vertical adjustment, which is ideal for levelling uneven ceilings or creating service voids for installations like ducting, cabling, and pipework. It is a robust, easy-to-install system that is equally effective in new builds, renovations, or retrofits.
GenieClip LB2 Versus Resilient Bars
The GenieClip LB2 outshines traditional resilient bars in several critical areas:
Performance:
The GenieClip LB2 achieves significantly better sound reduction (6-7 dB improvement) across a wider frequency range, including low-frequency noise.
Its superior vibration dampening prevents structural noise transmission, making it a more reliable solution for impactful noise reduction.
Versatility:
The extended bracket of the LB2 allows for vertical adjustments, making it ideal for levelling uneven ceilings or creating voids for services—a feature not available with resilient bars.
Error Tolerance:
Resilient bars are prone to installation errors like short-circuiting, which reduces their effectiveness. GenieClip LB2 eliminates these risks, ensuring consistent performance regardless of installation conditions.
Durability:
Constructed from moulded rubber and galvanised steel, the LB2 offers superior durability compared to the more fragile resilient bar systems.
Space Efficiency:
While adding minimal depth to the ceiling or wall, the LB2 provides high-performance sound isolation without sacrificing valuable space.
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 Does the GenieClip LB2 Work?
The GenieClip LB2 employs a unique combination of moulded rubber and galvanised steel to decouple drywall from structural components. The clip works by:
Decoupling:
The rubber element separates the plasterboard layer from the structure, breaking the path through which sound vibrations typically travel.
Vibration Absorption:
The rubber acts as a spring, absorbing sound energy and converting it into negligible heat, which prevents vibrations from passing through.
Vertical Adjustment:
The extended bracket allows for fine-tuning the height of the ceiling or wall assembly, making it ideal for uneven surfaces or creating service voids.
Enhanced Isolation:
By isolating vibrations, the LB2 minimises the transfer of both airborne and impact noise, providing superior soundproofing compared to traditional methods.
How Effective is the GenieClip LB2 System at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
Do GenieClips Work? Yes, and they outperform many other soundproofing solutions. The GenieClip LB2 system provides:
Airborne Noise Reduction:
With average reductions of up to 65 dB in walls and 55 dB in ceilings, the LB2 is ideal for blocking voices, TV noise, and general background sounds.
Impact Noise Isolation:
Provides significant impact noise reduction, improving sound insulation by up to 20 dB.
Low-Frequency Performance:
Exceptional at controlling low-frequency sounds, such as bass and vibrations, which are traditionally challenging to manage.
The GenieClip LB2 ensures quieter, more comfortable environments, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

Where Can the GenieClip LB2 System Be Used?
The GenieClip LB2 is a versatile solution suitable for various applications, including:
Residential Spaces:
Bedrooms, home theatres, shared walls, and ceilings.
Commercial Projects:
Offices, coworking spaces, retail areas, and meeting rooms.
Specialist Environments:
Recording studios, music rooms, cinemas, and industrial facilities.
Multi-Tenant Buildings:
Apartments, hotels, dormitories, and other shared living spaces.
Its adaptability makes it particularly useful in projects with uneven surfaces, service voids, or complex acoustic requirements.
How to Install the GenieClip LB2 with Furring Strips
The installation process for the GenieClip LB2 is straightforward:
Prepare the Surface:
Ensure that joists or wall studs are clean and free from obstructions.
Attach the GenieClips:
Secure the LB2 clips to the structural elements using a single screw. Adjust the height as necessary to achieve level alignment.
Install Furring Strips:
Attach furring strips to the GenieClips, ensuring they are evenly spaced and securely fastened.
Fix the Plasterboard:
Attach drywall panels to the furring strips, leaving a small gap at the edges to prevent sound bridging.
Seal the Edges:
Use acoustic sealant around the perimeter to maintain airtight sound isolation.
What are the Benefits of Using the GenieClip LB2?
Exceptional Soundproofing:
Reduces noise transmission across all frequencies, with a particular focus on low-frequency sounds.
Precise Adjustments:
Allows for fine vertical adjustments, making it ideal for levelling surfaces and creating service voids.
Space Efficiency:
Minimal depth gain ensures maximum performance without compromising space.
Ease of Installation:

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.
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.

WOW. Fantastic
I will line the back of the plasterboard on all my walls when doing any future renovations. An excellent product. Especially when comnbined with Rockwool RWA3.
Best on line ‘sound insulation’ advice on website. Very helpful and knowledgeable in advising on products on phone.
Efficient and friendly service. Great ‘on hold’ music! A pleasure to deal with.
Very pleased with the brackets I purchased from soundstop, easy to install and good quality. Very helpful advice and fast delivery.
Thank you very much.
Looking at designing a new soundproof wall for TV and sound system I choose Soundstore. Was impressed with ease on website, the call from them to advise delivery details. Overal great customer service.
Amazing service, an absolute pleasure calling them, they always answered, we're very patient and helpful with my endless questions. Once ordered, my delivery arrived two days later. I wish every company I dealt with ran their business like these guys.
Items arrived promptly and well-packaged. The strip at the bottom of the door came with a tiny set of instructions which are not easy to follow; a video link would have been useful.
Wrong product sent on first delivery, but great customer service ensured correct item was promptly delivered and apologies accepted. The self adhesive Tecsound is easy to apply and is a quality acoustic product. Well done team.
