SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter, Home Audio Line Out Converter, Stereo RCA Output

I run my L/R speakers in a 7.1 system through an external amplifier and the AVR does not pass digital input. It was only after I connected everything did I find that the L/R speakers go silent with HDMI (move/TV) input. I attached this thing to the L/R speaker outs. I could have tried a cheaper, automotive style converter but after the time and hassle of this installation, I didn’t want to waste more time dealing with potential noise issues and this thing is quiet. Any perceptible signal degradation from using high level outs is IMHO impossible to detect in a movie context. Or any context. Some people slam these things for theoretical, audible differences, but numbers belie this. For the truly obsessive, here’s the RMS calculation from my adding this device: Rated distortion for the AVR and my PS Audio S300 power amp respectively are .08% and ≤.02% totaling √(d12 + d22)=.082% (that's SQRT(distortion 1 squared + distortion 2 squared), no superscript here), a difference you cannot hear as the threshold of IM distortion human audibility is generally considered to be .1%. This is simply a well made voltage divider. It adds no noise and solves a big problem very economically. I recommend it.

This is exactly what I needed to run my Klipsch powered 10 inch sub with my vintage Pioneer VSX-4400 A/V receiver. It was easy to wire up and the sound quality is outstanding. SVS makes a quality product.

Solid construction and packaging, made adding a subwoofer to an older system seamless. For what it's worth, you'll also get the same warmth and tone that your amps output applied to the signal of the subwoofer.

I have a pair of SVS PB12-NSD subs that compliment my Klispch RF7-II tower speakers. I needed a solution to get the best performance when driving this combo with a KT88 push/pull tube amp. The Soundpath adapter works very well. I simply run a parallel set of speaker wires from the amp to the Soundpath and then a pair of subwoofer RCA cables to each of the subs. One cable is "Left" out of Soundpath to "Left" IN line level on the left sub. The same goes for right side sub. The crossover for each sub is set to about 50Hz with gain at about 75%. The Klipsch go down to 30Hz so filling in the area between 30 and 50Hz using the Soundpath works extremely well after tweaking until everything is blended nicely together. Volume control between the subs and speakers is very linear, one does not dominate the other when using the volume control. The mixing seems perfect in my setup. So, I seemed to have solved my issue and very happy with the Soundpath. It's affordable and well constructed, no complaints.

Bought two only one lasted but it works great

PERFECT - this solved my issues with my Garage vintage Home Receiver conversion to running a powered 12" subwoofer from Klipsch. Tried 3 top tier car converters, but they all sucked. Also purchased the PAC boost controller knob to make adjustments, perfect. With some fine tuning, this system sounds awesome - now I'm constantly getting yelled by my wife to turn it down because it's rattling things in the house. I'm sure my neighbors love me even more now. Highly recommend...

Yes this unit is expensive compared to other offerings, but, I have had such bad luck with these types of devices that I decided to go with a reputable brand and spend more money. I’ve got an older amp that takes speaker level inputs and it stated buzzing, so I figured maybe if I changed the source I could get a few more miles out of the old girl. Anyway it mostly cleared up the buzz… still there but only audible if you put your ear on the woofer. And since it only add 0.5’ish Ohm’s it essentially freed up two channels so that I could run pair of RP-505S with my Klipsch floor speakers. This thing really changed the sound in my living room and I don’t regret spending the extra money at all.

Does what it is supposed to do. The problem I have is the price. I had a hard time accepting the asking price of $80, now it's $100...definitely not worth that.

Does what its made for.

Fantastic clean way to ad a subwoofer to a system when there is no sub out connection on your integrated amp or dac/preamp. Works well for subs that have line input capability.

excelente

Affected stereo imaging so returned

Excelente adaptador, su tamaño es mediano, lo cual me hace pensar que tiene varios componentes en su interior, funciona muy bien y cumple con su objetivo de poder incorporar un subwoofer activo a un amplificador o reciver sin salida preamplificada, solo se conecta en las salida del amplificador hacia los parlantes y listo,
