SVS SPWADAPT Soundpath Wireless Audio Adapter - Black

First off, if you're looking for a wireless subwoofer kit, do not purchase the - Dayton Audio Wave-Link WLS System 2.4 GHz Full Range Wireless Audio Transmitter & Receiver System (pictured below)...STRAIGHT GARBAGE. Just as others have mentioned, the pops/humming while running that setup are atrocious. I got so tired of reconnecting/repairing the transmitter and receiver...so it was time to try a different kit. Long story short. I decided to give the SVS Soundpath wireless system a go. WOW...problem solved. They paired as soon as I connected them, and their performance has been flawless. A bit spendy, but worth every penny. Going to purchase an additional kit for another system I have. Now I'm enjoying my main system as I should be...

Makes installing a wireless sub easy

Wanted to have a rear wireless sub. With some creative Y cord wiring on the transmitter end set this up and right out of the box it works great. I now have 2 SVS SB3000 subs up front(wired from a Denon X-6700H) and a Sunfire True Sub MKII in the rear running on this wireless setup.I also have my rear AV speakers running wireless with another transmitter/receiver set up along with my own MESH system and there is no interference or drop out.

I purchased this product for a slightly different reason that most purchasers. I have two subwoofers in my home theater, one in the same equipment cabinet as the receiver, etc., and one at the rear of the room. There is, in fact, an wired audio extension built into the room from front to rear. However, since the rear sub plugs into a different outlet I was getting an excessive amount of 60Hz hum (probably due to a ground loop) in the rear sub. Even when both the receiver and main sub were powered from a balanced power isolation transformer and the rear sub likewise (a different power unit) I was still getting excessive hum. I then purchased this product to provide total electrical isolation between the two different subs. The only connection between the two is the wireless connection provided by the Soundpath unit. Since there cannot be a ground loop in such a system I have completely eliminated the 60Hz hum caused by powering the two subs from different electrical circuits. I do have one criticism of this product, resulting in the four star rating. Both the USB power cord and the audio connector cable are only two feet long. This is just a little too short to be entirely convenient. An extra foot for each would bring the product up to a five star rating. One strange quirk I noticed is that, although the DC power supply for the transmitter worked when plugged into a balanced power isolation transformer, the receiver power supply would not (different brand of isolation transformer). I have noticed this anomaly in another power supply for a different product, although I have a dozen or so power supplies that do work on the same isolation transformer that this product's PS would not. Fortunately, I was able to power the receiver PS directly from a wall plug. Just providing DC to a device in this manner will not create a ground loop, which can be created by an line level audio connection between two devices that are on different mains circuits.

This product deserves zero stars. I attempted to use this with my subwoofer as I wanted to move it behind my sectional couch. For a test I connected the transmitter to my amplifier and the receiver to my subwoofer. There was a direct line of site between the units (subwoofer was NOT behind the couch yet) which was about 12 feet. As as test I tried to watch a show and I had to turn it off as there was nothing but dropped signals and distorted sounds coming from my subwoofer. Most users have no time to troubleshoot issues like this. It should just work out of the box. Anyway - I decided to purchase the Dynasty Proaudio WSA-5TR-V2 to see how it worked. WOW - I simply plugged in the RCA cables and power and it worked like a champ. I moved my subwoofer behind the couch and there are no issues at all.... I returned the SVS product today and am writing this bad review. I plan on giving 5 stars to the Dynasty Proaudio product as well. Do yourself a favor and don't wast your time/money on this SVS product... It does NOT work out of the box.
