Subwoofer Isolation System

OWNER’S MANUAL

Thank you, and congratulations on purchasing your new

SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System!

The SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System decouples and isolates the

subwoofer from the ﬂooring, resulting in tighter and cleaner sounding bass, less

buzz/rattle in the room, and fewer complaints from adjacent neighbors in apartments

and townhouses. It’s the next best thing to sound-prooﬁng!

The SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System works with any brand of subwoofer

which accepts screw-in feet. Developed with extensive accelerometer and acoustic

measurements, this system features optimized durometer elastomer feet which

signiﬁcantly reduce ﬂoor vibration.

Our Sound Experts in Customer Service can assist you with installing the SoundPath

Subwoofer Isolation System, so please don’t hesitate to contact Customer Service if

you need guidance.

If you have any questions about your SVS product, please contact us directly.

INSTALLATION CABINET / BOX STYLE SUBWOOFERS

Cabinet / Box Style Subwoofers:

1. Place padding such as a soft blanket on the ﬂooring to protect the ﬁnish of the

subwoofer.

2. Using a helper (if needed), carefully place the subwoofer cabinet on its side or top,

resting on the blanket. Take care to avoid damaging the ampliﬁer. Important Notice: When

moving the subwoofer, do not allow the weight of the cabinet to place an excessive lateral

(sideways) load on the feet. This may damage the feet, the threaded insert or the cabinet.

3. Unthread and remove the subwoofer's original equipment (OE) feet.

4. Gather all of the 16 mm long machine screws from the Isolation System kit. There are

three (3) thread sizes provided – ¼-20, M6 and M8.

5. Compare the OE feet machine screws to the 16 mm long Isolation System machine

screws. Select the matching/correct thread size (SVS cabinet subwoofers utilize the ¼-20

thread size).

6. Once you have selected the correct thread size, install the Isolation feet by inserting

the 16 mm long machine screw through the bottom opening of the rubber foot, through the

opening in the steel outer shell, and

into the threaded insert of the

subwoofer cabinet.

7. Make sure the machine screw is

correctly aligned and does not

cross-thread.

8. Hand-tighten snugly. Avoid

over-tightening, which might damage

the threaded insert or the cabinet.

9. Using a helper (if needed) carefully

lift the subwoofer cabinet and place it

directly down onto the installed

Isolation feet. Take care to avoid

damaging the ampliﬁer.

Important Notice: When placing the subwoofer back into position, do not allow the weight of the cabinet to place an

excessive lateral (sideways) load on the Isolation feet. This may damage the Isolation feet, the threaded insert or the

cabinet.

Important Notice: - Do not drag the subwoofer cabinet across the ﬂooring with the Isolation feet installed. This may

damage the Isolation feet, the threaded insert or the cabinet. If you need to move the subwoofer, always lift (use a

helper if needed) the subwoofer and then place it into the new location.

INSTALLATION SVS CYLINDER SUBWOOFERS

SVS Cylinder Subwoofers – Base Plate Retained:

1. Using a helper as needed, lay the cylinder subwoofer sideways on a stable surface.

Take care to avoid damaging the ampliﬁer.

2. Peel off the original equipment (OE) rubber disc feet.

3. Only remove one (1) OE machine screw at a time. This will prevent the base plate

from dislodging. Important Notice: - If you are using a powered bit driver to remove and/or

install the machine screws, avoid excessive

downward pressure on the screw, as that

may dislodge the t-nut mounted to the

backside of the woofer end-cap.

4. Install the Isolation foot by inserting

the OE machine screw through the bottom

opening of the rubber foot, through the

opening in the steel outer shell, through the

base plate, through the dowel (re-aligning

the dowel as necessary) and into the t-nut

on the backside of the woofer end-cap.

5. Make sure the machine screw is

correctly aligned and does not cross-thread.

6. Tighten the OE machine screw avoiding

excessive downward pressure. Once the

screw fully tightens and starts to pull

against the end-cap t-nut, tighten securely

using hand-pressure.

7. Using a helper (if needed), carefully

stand the cylinder subwoofer back onto the

installed Isolation feet. Take care to avoid

damaging the ampliﬁer.

SVS Cylinder Subwoofers:

There are two options for installing the Isolation System on SVS cylinder subwoofers - base

plate retained or base plate removed. Retaining the base plate is recommended in

applications which have very high pile carpeting, in order to avoid woofer interference at

high playback levels. Aside from that exception, there is no performance difference

between the two options, so choose whichever option you personally prefer.

Important Notice: - Do not drag the subwoofer base

plate across the ﬂooring with the Isolation feet

installed. This may damage the Isolation feet or the

base plate. If you need to move the subwoofer, always

lift (use a helper if needed) the subwoofer and then

place it into the new location.

1. Using a helper as needed, lay the cylinder subwoofer sideways on a stable surface.

Take care to avoid damaging the ampliﬁer.

2. Peel off the original equipment (OE) rubber disc feet.

3. Remove the OE machine screws. Support the base plate as needed to prevent it from

inadvertently dislodging while removing the screws. Important Notice: - If you are using a

woofer end-cap

4. Remove the base plate and the dowels and set aside.

5. Gather all of the 51 mm long machine screws from the Isolation System kit. There are

two (2) thread sizes provided – ¼-20 and M6.

Isolation System 51 mm long machine screws

and select the matching/correct thread size.

7. Install each Isolation foot by inserting the

51 mm long machine screw through the bottom

opening of the rubber foot, through the opening

in the steel outer shell and into the t-nut on the

backside of the woofer end-cap.

8. Make sure the machine screw is correctly

aligned and does not cross-thread.

9. Tighten the machine screw avoiding

excessive downward pressure. Once the screw

fully tightens and starts to pull against the
