Easily Connect a Subwoofer to Legacy Audio Components

Many integrated amplifiers and legacy stereo receivers lack line-level outputs, leaving enthusiasts without the ability to connect a powered subwoofer to their system.

With a minimalist design and premium components, the SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter ensures pristine and transparent signal transfer to the subwoofer without compromise to any part of the playback system.

    Impressions: SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter

    This high level to line level adapter for connecting subwoofers works exactly as advertised and is easy to use and connect. It presented solutions for two amplifiers of mine, which do not have the subwoofer outputs which I needed. My Pass INT-25 integrated has no subwoofer or line outs, and the SVS adapter has enabled stereo subwoofer connections to my SVS SB-5000 R / Evolutions. For my Cabasse Abyss streaming amplifier with only a single subwoofer output, I am using a second SVS adapter to enable high level to line level stereo subwoofer implementation with it as well. Keep in mind that with “Y” adapters, the SVS SoundPath adapter will also enable single subwoofer as well as dual mono subwoofer implementations according to desired configuration and system context.

    These adapters come very well packaged, their build quality is very good, and their appearance is tidy, tasteful, and straightforward. Jonathan and Nick at SVS were very helpful in responding to my inquiries about the use of the adapters. In comparison to other high-level two line level adapters in the marketplace which I considered, this one struck the best balance of quality design and construction and reasonable price.

    SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter

    The SoundPath Speaker Subwoofer Adapter worked perfectly to link my 5th NEW SVS Sub (the 3000 Micro Subwoofer) with my "Vintage 1983 Yamaha 2 Channel Stereo System", that I brought back to life. Such great engineering of this product on SVS's part, to make the adapter easily work with my vintage system. Thanks again! Jim

    Connecting subwoofer to vintage speakers

    I've owned a set of Klipsch speakers since the early 80's. I love the speakers but always thought they needed more bass. I picked up a sub woofer and then found out that I needed an adapter to use it with my older speakers. After some research I went with the SVS Soundpath speaker level adapter. The adapter works exactly as advertised and was easy to install. I highly recommend this adapter.

    Superb "after the sale" support

    I have a complicated bi-amped and bi-wired speaker set-up, and I had trouble getting the subwoofer adapter to work. I emailed SVS support, and immediately received a clear graphic that anyone could follow easily. I installed the adapter correctly, and then adjusted my graphic equalizer, because the highs were immediately clearer and more crisp. This is highly recommended if you have a vintage system.

    Really works

    I have 4 or 5 preamps I've acquired over the years that don't have an extra pre-out for a subwoofer. These are tube preamps I have kept because of their unique or pleasurable sound quality...but they don't get a lot of time in rotation because every & any system always sounds & performs better with at least one subwoofer in the mix.

    I have tried Y-adapters but they seem to always add some type of noise or ground loop with my tube preamps. Y-adapters can work ok with my solid state equipment but I don't feel that they are optimal for the job.

    Anyway, I hooked the SVS Speaker level to my power amplifier. I like that i can hide it behind everything. I then hooked my amp to my preamp that would be the nosiest using Y-adapters. Once I set everything up & turned on the system I had no noise or ground loops. Dead silent. No degradation is sound or bass quality. I did feel a sense of losing a little volume to the sub. I went into the SVS app & turned the volume up from 12 to 10.

    It worked so well that when I rotate to a preamp with multiple pre-outs I don't even bother not to use the SVS Speaker-Level device. This is a very inexpensive fix to a problem I've had for years. Thank you SVS.
