HVAC supply houses will have several options available. Call your
contractor or head down to the supply house and try to sweet-talk them
into selling to you.

Should have mentioned that you will most likely need to decouple the
unit from the roof as well as from the ductwork. There are parts for
both these tasks.

Room inside a room isolation and a foot of airspace for all walls, this may
just do the trick. But it may be cheaper to just move your studio to another
building.

Thanks guys, but...

Moving to another studio or moving the unit are not really options... how
'bout some isolation and/or vibration control ideas?

It may be easier to move it to another location so that it's not a on a
node. Ask your local acoustician.
