Customer Review: Great Price, great quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this, like many others, to provide signal to both the Left and Right inputs of my subwoofer (Energy ESW-8HG). First, I'll comment on the product, then the application
Product:
Build quality, although more basic than most Monster products, is more than satisfactory. The gold plated connections are a must, and the cable didn't seem to have any issues with shielding (although on a sub application, it can be tough to tell due to the frequency reproduction capability of a sub). My Rosewill subwoofer interlink cable, which I at times have felt fit somewhat loosely into its connection, fit snugly into this which gave me confidence. The price was great (as usual - thanks Amazon!), and shipping was as fast as it always is
Application notes:
First, I'd like to comment on the 3dB of gain issue. 3dB (when dimensionless) represents a DOUBLING of power. However, there is no way to magically double the strength of your audio signal. Splitting a signal actually lowers the total power available for the amp (any connection causes a connector loss). However, whether you see a boost in signal to the amp (assuming a powered sub woofer) will depend on how it is configured. If it uses half of its power to amplify each channel, then yes - supplying a signal to both will likely get you more power to the woofer itself since now the amp is amplifying two signals and not just 1. However, this will change from amp to amp, as I found out.
As mentioned above, I tried this as part of my Energy ESW-8HG subwoofer setup. I had been having problems with the sub cutting out, and as part of my troubleshooting process thought I'd see if this made a difference. It did not (but it was not the fault of the product, as you'll see below)
However, and be sure to read this part - in my discussions with the Energy Tech/Warranty support folks, I learned that although the sub does have an input for L and R, in a mono sub application a signal should ONLY be supplied to one of the 2 (in my case, the L). Using both the left and the right is intended to be a speaker level input option that many sub manufacturers provide as a flexibility feature (can sell this sub to more users, since not all AV recievers have subwoofer out). Therefore, supplying a mono subwoofer signal to both channels can DAMAGE your subwoofer's internal amp and/or the sub itself (if it gets overdriven).
Bottom line - if you determine that you could benefit from this connector - then buy with confidence, but make sure that your audio configuration warrants this plug, as I'd hate for you to damage your equipment
