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.

Works as advertised. No problems. Little expensive though.

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...

the line level signal coming off this thing is so weak that I have to run it through 3 separate amplification stages just to hear anything. There is so much gain that you can hear a hiss from the speakers like you do with a phono preamp. For reference, I do have this connected exactly as it is described in the instructions.

he SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter is an excellent solution for integrating a subwoofer into my audio system without the need for a dedicated line-level output. It’s incredibly easy to use—simply connect it between the speaker terminals of my amplifier and the subwoofer, and it works like a charm. The build quality is solid, with durable connectors and a well-made cable that ensures a reliable connection. The sound quality is fantastic, with deep, clean bass that integrates seamlessly with my speakers. It’s a perfect option for those without a dedicated subwoofer output on their receiver or amplifier. Overall, this adapter is a great, affordable way to get powerful, high-quality bass from your subwoofer without any hassle. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their home audio system!

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.

I use the SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter a little differently than intended. I needed a clean line-level signal from my speaker outputs to feed both my VU meter and spectrum analyzer, and this adapter does the job perfectly. It gives me the signal I need without interfering with my normal speaker setup. It's compact, well-made, and has been completely trouble-free in my system. If you need to convert a speaker-level signal to line level, whether for a subwoofer or other audio equipment like mine, this is a simple solution that works exactly as expected.

Does what I needed. Sounds great. Extra sub added to my tube amp.

Does what its made for.

excelente

Affected stereo imaging so returned

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.
