A lossless connection from speakers to line-level subwoofers is now possible with the new SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter.
Many older stereo receivers, integrated amplifiers, and especially high-end control units do not have line-level outputs, making it difficult to connect an active subwoofer. The new SVS product solves this problem by reducing the speaker signal voltage to RCA line-level voltage. This enables a secure connection to an active subwoofer without compromising sound quality. Thanks to its minimalist design and high-quality components, the SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter offers flawless and transparent signal transmission to the subwoofer without affecting the playback system.
SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter:
Enables a lossless connection from speaker to line-level subwoofers. Ideal for integrated amplifiers and older stereo receivers without line-level or subwoofer outputs. Easy installation thanks to high-quality speaker terminals and stereo RCA outputs.
Connect subwoofers easily to older audio components. Many older stereo receivers and integrated amplifiers do not have line-level outputs, making it difficult to connect an active subwoofer. The SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter solves this problem by reducing the speaker signal voltage to RCA line-level voltage. This enables a secure connection to an active subwoofer without compromising sound quality. Thanks to its minimalist design and high-quality components, the SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter offers flawless and transparent signal transmission to the subwoofer without affecting the playback system.
Innovative Technology for Outstanding Performance
- Stereo gold-plated 5-way speaker terminals allow for the use of bare wire, spade lugs, or banana plugs.
- Gold-plated stereo RCA line-level outputs ensure a secure connection to the active subwoofer's line-level inputs and work perfectly with SVS SoundPath RCA subwoofer cables.
- Includes high-quality, close-tolerance resistors and circuit boards with wide traces for high currents and extreme power handling.
- The thoughtful design offers wide bandwidth and ultra-low distortion for clear signal transmission, precise accuracy, and compatibility with all high-end audio systems.
- The -30 dBV attenuation draws no power from the speaker amplifier, ensuring a safe signal for the subwoofer's line-level inputs.
- Why -30 dBV?: Speaker amplifiers deliver a strong signal intended for direct connection to speakers. Subwoofers, on the other hand, require a weaker, so-called line-level signal. By attenuating by -30 dBV, the strong speaker signal is reduced to a line-level, so it can be safely and effectively fed into the subwoofer.
