SVS SoundPath Multi-Band is the latest addition to the brand’s popular line of wireless audio accessories, engineered to deliver pristine, full-range sound with rock-solid stability even in the most wireless-congested homes. The new SoundPath Multi-Band Wireless Audio Adapter lets owners place subwoofers, powered speakers and amplifiers wherever they sound best, without running a single cable.
46-channel switching for interference-free audio
As homes fill up with routers, smart TVs, security cameras and other wireless gear, interference has become the biggest obstacle for single-band audio transmitters. SVS SoundPath Multi-Band solves that problem with multi-channel auto-switching: the adapter continuously scans and switches among 46 channels across the 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands to maintain the most stable connection available, avoiding dropouts that plague simpler wireless solutions.
Subwoofers are often the largest, heaviest component in a home theater system, and they usually need long cable runs back to the AV receiver. By going wireless, SVS SoundPath Multi-Band removes that constraint entirely and opens up placement options that were previously ruled out by the practicality of running a cable. A subwoofer can move to the corner that actually measures best in the room, rather than the corner nearest an outlet or the AV rack.
Full-range stereo at CD quality
Unlike many wireless audio solutions that compress the signal or limit it to a narrow frequency range, SVS SoundPath Multi-Band passes a true left/right stereo signal covering the complete audible frequency response, 3Hz to 20kHz (+/- 0.5 dB), at CD-quality 24-bit/48kHz. Transmission range extends up to 165 feet (50 meters) line-of-sight, with latency under 15 microseconds for seamless integration into home theater, stereo and distributed audio setups.
One transmitter can pair with up to four receivers simultaneously, making it possible to send stereo sound wirelessly to multiple subwoofers, powered speakers or separate listening zones from a single source. That flexibility makes SVS SoundPath Multi-Band equally useful for a dual-subwoofer home theater, a pair of powered stereo speakers on the far side of a room, or a simple multi-zone setup that shares one source across two spaces.
Simple setup, flexible placement
SVS SoundPath Multi-Band ships pre-paired, so setup takes just a few minutes: connect the transmitter to an AV receiver, TV or other audio source via RCA, connect the receiver to a subwoofer, powered speaker, turntable or amplifier, power both units via USB or the included wall adapters, and wait a few seconds for the units to sync. All current SVS subwoofers include a USB input on the rear panel specifically for powering the receiver, so no extra outlet is needed in many setups.
“Wireless audio has become essential as people strive for cleaner setups and more flexible speaker and subwoofer placement,” said Gary Yacoubian, SVS President. “Our Multi-Band technology represents a major leap forward: 46-channel switching, longer range, and full-range fidelity that’s truly uncompromised. It delivers the stability and performance people expect from SVS, even in the most challenging wireless environments.”
Pricing and availability
The SVS SoundPath Multi-Band Wireless Audio Adapter is available now for $229.99. It joins the wider SoundPath accessory lineup, which also includes the original SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter (rated for up to 65 feet of range), along with SoundPath subwoofer cables, speaker cables, HDMI and XLR cables, and the SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System. Compared with that original adapter, SoundPath Multi-Band adds more than double the wireless range and a fully automatic, 46-channel interference-avoidance system, at the cost of a higher price point aimed at buyers who want the most dependable connection available.
For home theater fans and audiophiles who want a cleaner installation without compromising sound quality, SVS SoundPath Multi-Band gives the most placement freedom yet in the series.
