SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System

These pads/feet actually work.

I don't know why SVS doesn't just invlclude these by default. They make a palpable difference. People in the industry who review SVS subs need to always be sent these. The ONLY ISSUE is that people are starting to use these as feet for loudspeakers, and need to be offered the option to but short M8 metric thread screws. For instance I have them as feet for my Sonus faber Sonetto G2.

Exactly what I needed

The first image shows the JTR Captivator 2400 ULF sitting in the front soundstage where it belongs. No SVS isolation feet installed yet, and nothing playing. The second image shows what happened during a movie. The subwoofer had walked about 12 inches across the floor, turned itself toward the left channel speaker, and started vibrating against it. Annoying is an understatement when you have to stop a movie just to wrestle a subwoofer back into position. So I added SVS isolation feet. A few install notes: if I were doing this again, I probably would not stop at four feet. Six minimum, and eight would likely be better for a sub this size and weight. I also think a larger T-nut (not supplied) may have been a better choice, because when I first tried sliding the subwoofer into position, one of the T-nuts pulled out. The solve was simple enough: get the subwoofer positioned first, then tilt it up into place instead of trying to slide it around after the feet were installed. The good news: after three or four hours of music above reference level, plus watching Dune: Part Two at reference level, the sub has not walked anymore. And maybe it’s placebo, but the bass actually sounds a little better in the room now. Something feels different. It’s more than just the relief of not having to get up and move the sub back where it belongs. Home theater problems, solved one vibration at a time.

Subwoofer isolation system

The subwoofer isolation feet were exactly what I was looking for. It seemed like every wall hung photo or glass in the cupboards were rattling when I played my music or tv with any volume. The isolation feet have significantly reduced the unpleasant sounds we were getting. Thanks SVS!
