SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable Built to preserve bass detail and impact, the SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable is a premium RCA subwoofer/LFE cable engineered for clean, noise-free signal transfer between an AV receiver/processor and a powered subwoofer. A 24K gold-plated brass RCA interface, multi-strand 99.99% oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, and a precision five-layer dielectric insulation system work together to maintain signal purity while rejecting electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can dull low-frequency dynamics. From tight, musical bass lines to room-shaking home theater effects, the SoundPath cable is designed for stable connectivity and consistent performance, even on longer runs. A rugged, attractive cotton braided outer jacket and a substantial build make it ideal for clean installs where durability, flexibility, and premium fit-and-finish matter. The SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable is part of ListenUp's SVS Cables Collection. What It's Good At: Delivering clean, powerful low-frequency output by maintaining signal purity from source to subwoofer Reducing hum and noise with a five-layer isolation system designed to reject EMI/RFI interference Ensuring a secure, consistent RCA connection with 24K gold-plated brass contacts and split-grounding body Supporting longer cable runs with ultra-low capacitance and impedance-matched design for stable transfer Providing premium durability and handling with a cotton braided jacket and robust internal construction Making installs easier with red/white marking bands for quick channel identification and neat cable management SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable Full Specifications: Product type: RCA subwoofer cable / LFE cable Connector type: RCA (male) to RCA (male) Signal transfer: Pure copper center conductor with 24K gold-plated brass connectors Conductor material: 99.99% OFC copper (multi-strand) Dual balanced conductors: 14 strands of 99.99% OFC stranded copper conductors; individually isolated in independent HDPE dielectric jackets Insulation/shielding system: Precision-engineered five-layer dielectric isolation system rejecting EM/RF interference Cable jacket (outermost): Premium cotton braided jacket (outer boundary of five-layer system) Dielectric layers: High density 7.0mm PVC outside core dielectric 1.6mm HDPE inside core dielectric PET Mylar shield layer Directional shield layer: spiral braid of premium-grade aluminum foil + 56 strands of 99.99% OFC tinned copper shielding; soldered to ground terminal at the source side to help reduce EMI/RF noise Nominal cable diameter: 7mm RCA connector construction: Precision soldered with high-grade lead-free solder 24K gold-plated brass conductor pin 24K gold-plated brass split grounding body Precision-machined, anodized aircraft-grade aluminum shell with white and red marking bands Center pin and outer ring: gold-plated brass for signal integrity Electrical properties: Conductor DCR: 77 mΩ/meter Shield DCR: 30 mΩ/meter Nominal impedance: 110Ω (impedance-matched cable + connectors to minimize VSWR and return loss) Nominal capacitance: 39 pF/meter @ 1 kHz Rated bandwidth: DC–5.0 MHz (3m cable) with ≤ 1.09 VSWR and ≥ 27 dB return loss Performance traits: Ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-low capacitance Available lengths: 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m, 12m, 15m Purchase coverage/benefits: 45-day risk-free in-home trial; fast & free shipping and returns; 5-year unconditional warranty SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable Q&A: Which devices can I connect with the SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable? This cable is designed to connect an AV receiver, preamp, or processor’s subwoofer/LFE output to a powered subwoofer’s RCA/LFE input. It’s a standard RCA-to-RCA connection commonly used in home theater and stereo bass management. Will this cable help reduce subwoofer hum or unwanted noise? It can help by using a five-layer insulation/shielding system plus a directional shield termination designed to reduce EMI/RFI noise pickup. If you still hear hum, it may be a ground loop—isolating cable TV lines, changing outlets, or using a ground-loop isolator can help. Is this a single cable or a dual (Y) cable? This is a single RCA subwoofer cable (one connection from source to sub). If your subwoofer has left/right RCA inputs, most setups use the LFE input or the manufacturer-recommended input (often “L” or “LFE”)—check your subwoofer manual. How do I choose the right cable length? Choose the shortest length that reaches comfortably with a little slack for routing and strain relief. For clean installs, measure the full path (around furniture/walls) rather than the straight-line distance. Does gold plating change the sound? Gold plating primarily helps with consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance over time. That stability can prevent connection-related issues that may cause noise or intermittent signal dropouts. Is the SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Cable suitable for long runs? Yes—lengths up to 15 meters are available, and the design emphasizes low capacitance, shielding, and impedance matching to maintain signal integrity across longer distances. Is this cable rated for in-wall installation? No in-wall safety rating is specified here. If you need to run a cable inside a wall, use a cable specifically rated for in-wall use (and follow local code requirements). What makes this different from basic RCA subwoofer cables? It combines 99.99% OFC copper conductors, 24K gold-plated brass connectors, a five-layer dielectric/shielding system, and robust mechanical construction for cleaner signal transfer, better noise rejection, and long-term durability.
