Product Description

Ideal for connecting a TV, CD player, DVD player, or other RCA-enabled device to a subwoofer's or amplifier's left and right audio ports, while also providing excellent bass response and flexibility.
A simple Y-Adapter can give your audio components a whole new range of possibilities. This adapter splits your audio components for a true surround sound experience without the need for additional cables.
Low-loss, wide-spectrum coaxial cable that is ideal for subwoofer low-frequency signals, allowing for deep and precise audio quality. Split-tip center pins ensure high contact pressure and signal strength, and corrosion-resistant gold-plated RCA connectors provide a consistently tighter fit than commonly rolled cables with wider tolerances.
Built with braided copper shielding, aluminum Mylar shielding, and gas injected foam dielectric to protect against hum/static when multiple devices are close together.
The audio components are finished in a heavy-duty, yet flexible PVC jacket with color coding for easy routing, quick installs, and maximum signal transfer, ensuring that your audio components deliver all the performance you expect.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to connect a new receiver to an older subwoofer with line in and out RCA connections using this cable? Is it true that my receiver only has a subwoofer output?

Only plug the receiver into the line in on the sub!

Is it possible to connect the subwoofer's left and right inputs to the amp's subwoofer output?

Yes. You don't have to use both sub inputs (a mono cable will suffice), but hooking one end to your receiver or prepro's sub output and the other ends to your left and right sub inputs will give you more sensitivity (a little more output from the sub, and may help with some sub's auto turn on feature).

Is it possible to hook up a klh subwoofer to a Pioneer receiver?

RCA inputs are standard on klh subs, and sub out RCA connections are standard on all Pioneer AVRs. Each RCA in the sub is wired with two ends, giving you a total of six extra channels. Depending on the submodel, 4 dB can be achieved.

Will connecting my Samsung blu ray player to my surround sound system work? The blu ray player has a coaxial jack, but the surround sound system has RCA jacks. ?

Yes, it will work in terms of audio, but not in terms of video if the Blu-ray player has one. If you have a Blu-ray player, you can connect it to your AV RECEIVER. I'm assuming you mean your AV RECEIVER when you say Surround Sound System, but if you have a Blu-ray player, you can connect it to your AV RECEIVER as well. If your Blu-ray player has an HDMI jack, you can connect it to it to get better audio and video, as well as less cable clutter. HDMI CABLES are more expensive, but what do you put a price on the (Quality) of your Surround Sound System's sound and video? If you're looking for a unique way to

For the money, this is the best cable
5/5

After reading all of the reviews, you'll notice that there are two types of people: those who have no idea what this cable is for and recognize the quality of these cables, and those who do and use them as intended. br> I've been building HTs since the mid-90s, and this is one of the nicest subwoofer cables I've bought. I've bought monster cable, monster cable THX certified, vampire cables, and even audioquest cables, but for the price, these are a steal because they are very well made, quality components, the fit is nice and snug, not overly tight, and in no way loose, they have very nice grips, so you never have to worry about signal Given its price, I was skeptical, but after reading the positive reviews, I decided to purchase two of them so that my dual sub setup would have the same cables. When I installed them, I was blown away by the quality and fit; they are stiffer than standard cables or speaker wire, but they are not designed for wall mounted or close to wall applications; however, what do you expect from a well-made heavily shielded cable? br> Overall, they look great, work great, and come in at a very reasonable price; the bass from my Klipschs is super tight, clear, and responsive; if I didn't think they were worth it, I wouldn't have them on almost two grand worth of subs that hit lows of 18Hz, which is lower than the human ear can hear, and there is no degradation; there is no reason to spend a fortune on sub cables when these perform flawlessly- Give them a try; if you don't like them, send them back; but for $10, you can't go wrong. br> One note: if you have an AVR with two sub outs, get a second matching one, you'll be amazed at how much better the bass sounds with it. There are no peaks and valleys in the output, and the transition is seamless; your ears aren't drawn to the sub and its location; it just flows perfectly. I've read that 4 is optimal, but since I went with 1 of the best and largest subs out there, I don't have room for 4, but man, it would be awesome to have 4 of these big bad boys in my system. To do so, you'd need to change the configuration of the out cable from the receiver; it would need 2 br>In general, these cables are well worth the money; you will not be disappointed in saving money while also getting excellent cables; they are a win-win situation. People who don't either bought them for the wrong purpose and blame the cable, or simply don't get to review the actual product, not compare it to other ones, as price to quality, there is no comparison, and if I need more, or different cables from the MediaBridge ultra series of cables, I will not hesitate to buy more, or different cables from the MediaBridge ultra series of cables. Yes, I would recommend them to anyone looking for cables made by them, and no, none of my equipment is entry level; my living room is filled with Klipsch RP series speakers, the largest and best of which are in my living room, so I would not skimp on cables that go into over $3000 worth of speakers; yes, I am an audiophile and proud of it; and one thing you don't do is skimp on speaker wires or any other signal transferring cables needed in your system, and these,.

Wires and cables aren't all created equal
5/5

If you're reading this, you already know how important good shielding and low impedance are. You discovered it. br>br> You've found the one you've been looking for. br>br>I've got a Polk 12" Sub - That's not going to happen with standard wire. br>br>Buy the best cable you can afford. br>Or, get the best cable with all of the professional features that any reputable high-speed Internet provider would provide. a high-end stereo store would like you to have at a low price.

This is all you require
5/5

I do a lot of work with instrumentation equipment and can quickly assess its quality. This is an excellent cable. The cable material and connectors are of excellent quality, and the price is extremely reasonable. Low-voltage, double-shielded Gold contacts, loss dielectric, and machined (rather than stamped) metal parts The connectors are very tight and secure, which necessitates a bit of extra force, but it's better than having them loose. My only concern is what will happen if the cable is accidentally pushed or pulled to the side; these cables appear to be strong enough to cause equipment damage if not handled carefully. In any case, there's no reason to pay more unless you're the type who requires extra glitz or feels obligated to pay more for some intangible benefit.

A fantastic solution to your subwoofer wiring problems! To begin with, the 15-foot cable was $1 more expensive than the 10-foot cable
5/5

Think about it. Second, previous buyers have left a TON of positive feedback. I was impressed not only with the quality of the cable, but also with the fact that it came with a velcro cable wrap so that if it was a little longer than needed, the cable would not be all over the place. After installation, there was almost a 50% increase in sound from my subwoofer compared to the temporary cable I had been using since my previous cable failed the other day (other manufacturer I'll be happy if this cable lasts as long as the last one. The sound and quality of this cable are more than adequate for my MOR system (Pioneer VSX-1). 1017 volts and a JBL 12" powered subwoofer with a 7. 0 sets of Infinity Alpha speakers are available)!.

A fantastic bass response is the result of efficient signal transfer
5/5

This cable has excellent manufacturing quality. The plug was snug, but not so tight that it was difficult to seat properly. The outermost material is soft enough to avoid scratching the eggshell paint on the wall behind my TV cabinet. However, those features are largely incidental to the true value that this cable can provide for your home theater system. the signal emitted by the subwoofer ports on my Sony STR-D700 DN1080 does not appear to degrade in any way over an eight-year period. This cable has a length of ft and connects to my Sony SACS9. This cable produces no noise (hiss or hum), accurately activates the sub, and does not act as an unintentional antenna for random frequencies.

My subwoofer is a lot better now
5/5

I'm not a trained engineer in the field of electronics. I've never used audio equipment before. So far, I'm stumped as to why this adapter improved the sound quality and volume of my subwoofer so dramatically. br>I don't have a receiver that is dedicated to me. My TV uses a Digital Optical Toslink Cable to connect to a sound bar. My subwoofer is connected to my soundbar via a single RCA port. There are two RCA input ports on the subwoofer, however. I had been using a cable with a single plug on both ends for years. I was very pleased with the outcome. br>I bought this RCA-A on a whim. To connect the subwoofer's two ports, use a Y adapter. WOW! There was a significant improvement. br>I'm not sure what you're talking about. If I were using a "stereo headphone" port on my bar, I could understand it. Despite the fact that it appears to be a simple RCA mono port, the results were excellent. Perhaps the improved sound was due to the Mediabridge adapter's superior quality. To me, it's a delightful puzzle. br>I just placed an order for a second adapter for a guest room with a similar system.
