Product Overview

The VSUB-1 Virtual Copper™️ Digital Wireless Subwoofer Audio System simplifies wiring your home theater system by allowing you to connect up to four subwoofers to your processor or AVR without the need for messy subwoofer interconnect cables. To use the VSUB-1 system, simply connect a VSUB-1T transmitter module to the sub output on your processor or AVR, and connect VSUB-1R receiver modules to each subwoofer you want to connect to it. Each VSUB-1T transmitter  can support up to four subwoofers at the same time, delivering the same high-quality audio signal to each via our proprietary wireless digital audio interconnect technology. 

The VSUB-1 system has a range of about fifty feet and, because each receiver is uniquely paired to a specific transmitter, you can use two transmitters if you have stereo subs. Once you pair each receiver with its transmitter, no other configuration is required, and your subwoofer acts as if it is simply connected to your processor or AVR with a cable. The VSUB-1 system is sold as a set, which includes one VSUB-1T transmitter and one VSUB-1R receiver, and additional receivers can be purchased separately if you wish to connect multiple subwoofers. 

The VSUB-1 system is optimized for use with subwoofers, so the system has a frequency response from 10 Hz to 2 kHz, and is not recommended for running full-range remote speakers.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection

I bought the wireless Transmitter/Receiver combination and an extra Receiver for a second subwoofer. So far, it is working great! I would highly recommend this item if you want to avoid running a subwoofer wire for any long distance because your subwoofer may sound better placed away from the front two speakers. It is a little pricey, but does allow you to use up to 4 Receivers from 1 Transmitter and it works for all subwoofers according to Emotiva.

VSUB-1 is awesome

Works perfectly. The VSUB-1 sends the signal from the processor to the subwoofer flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to put a subwoofer across the room from the rest of their equipment without a cable.

Highly Recommended

Came earlier than expected. Compared to another wireless adapter this VSUB1 was easier to connect and the annoying hum of the previous device was GONE. I haven't experienced signal delays so far even though my subs are behind a couch with heavy foot traffic.. so happy with this purchase will buy another receiver unit soon!!!

Works great

Remodeled the house and was hoping to find a quick solution to move the subwoofer to a new location in the room without the cost and effort to run wires to the new location approx 20' from the amp. Was a little reluctant to purchase due to reviews I had seen on this product and other similar Bluetooth wireless transponders. Decided to go with this one even though it was a little more expensive than some others. Anyway transponder & receiver connected fast out of the box with no problems. At first there was some crackling noise coming from sub then all speakers and I realized that I had the volume set too high on my amp and turned it to a normal level. Also I had 3 volume controls going. 1. Marantz Amp 2. Adjustment on powered sub 3. Adjustment on Sonos App. Once I got that sorted out it's working perfectly. Sounds great - problem solved :)

Great stuff!!

If you are lookin at setting up
A sub at any corner of the hall/room that doesn’t have wireless capabilities then this is the device you need! Works great both on LFE or
RCA option and turns wireless once interfaced:) I am using an ELAC 200w paired with a set of B&W S3 anniversary edition speakers a typical 2.1 set up and the sub delivers pretty well.

It just works.

What else is there to say? It's meant to do 1 very specific thing, and it does it very well. Super simple to setup, and it just works.

Solved a Real Problem Created by Using Other Brand

I replaced some similar wireless subwoofer devices with these. One system was generating random errant subwoofer thumps and may have been contributing to other wireless interference problems that we have been having. Emotiva does not divulge the technology or frequency that they are using, which would be nice, but so far so good. The subwoofer has ceased acting up. I replaced a similar setup on a system downstairs and I am hoping for good things in terms of reducing or eliminating wireless interference issues.

It works

Easy and simple setup; works flawlessly with no discernible audio degradation. While I will still default to my XLR cables when applicable, this little gadget quite possibly should be considered a must have for any audio system - it allows infinite flexibility in subwoofer placement. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Simply the best product of its kind out there

Simply put the best I have found to wirelessly connect to my subwoofer. No interference. No dropouts. No pops or static. Robust sound quality. I had a previous kit from MartinLogan that was garbage with lots of shortcomings that made it almost impossible to use. The VSUB-1 doesn't have any of those shortcomings. Without the VSUB-1 it would not be possible to complete my home theater setup. I am so glad I found it. Setup was easy and the quality looks to be top notch. I am a fan and I will definitely refer others looking for a wireless solution.

I bought it to put

I bought it to put my Emotive sub behind my couch. It did not work! Tried everything. It worked only next to the transmitter in my receiver!
I had to return it.

I had the Sunfire system for years and this is a great improvement. I wish I had known about this sooner!

Awesome little device

These devices allow u to place ur subs wherever u need or want to as long as u can plug it into the wall outlet. Sound quality is great, pairing the devices is easy, and it's great for hooking up multiple subs

Great solution for using subs far away

Didn't want to give 5 full stars because the instructions were incomplete. They get you to the point where you hear the test tone thru the sub but still no music signal. Here's how I got mine to work: power them on by plugging in the cord. Both units begin blinking, which wasn't in the manual. With music playing I went back to the transmit unit (still had blinking light) and hold the button down till the blinking stopped. The receiving unit's light also stopped blinking at the same time and the sub began playing finally. The directions end with hearing the test tone. Maybe everyone already knows how to pair and handle the buttons / lights / tones but I've never had a bluetooth item this difficult and following the directions word-for-word 5 times and powering them on and off 10 times didn't help either. Compared to running / hiding super long RCA lines around the room these are a great idea. If they had XLR inputs / outputs it would be better, using these with the RCA outputs on my C40 preamp that way I can remotely switch them off late at night.

Meh

I was really excited to learn about this company but that’s about it. I recently upgraded my system and purchased an XPA 3 amp along with some other equipment from other companies. Almost immediately after getting everything hooked up and running, I started getting random popping out of my speakers. At the time I was traveling a fair amount and wasn’t home as much as I’d like to diagnose the issue. After switching out amps and AVR’s, triple checking connections and even replacing my speaker wire—even hired a professional to come give it a look, by process of elimination it was the Emotiva. Under warranty but I wanted to return it. I was told that 2 weeks outside of the return policy window was “far” too long to issue a refund…whatever. So I mailed it back on my dollar (close to $200) for service. First I was told there was absolutely nothing wrong with it and they were sending it back. Then they said they switched out the modules and changed the power supply and shipped it back. If there was nothing wrong with it, why would you switch out the modules and power supply? It’s been working fine since with no popping which of course means it was the amp all along. I work for a small retail chain and we would never tell someone a broken product wasn’t eligible for return after 2 weeks. At the very least a new one would be offered and we sure as heck wouldn’t make the customer pay for shipping after we sold them a broken product. Home audio and theatre is my hobby, I don’t vacation, buy fancy cars and quit golf. Lately my money goes to my stereo and I’m always looking add/ build/ improve/ upgrade. Several professionals told me it was BS to make me pay for the shipping. It’s not the money, just shows me bad business. Emotiva lost a customer for life.

What a difference! This Receiver is hands down the best you can get for the price point. Transformed my entire listening experience. Your speakers will come alive and thank you for it!

Basic

This is a basic no frills sub. Front firing. Very few settings for control. No remote. As always a basic plastic looking exterior finish like on most Emotiva products.

VSUB-1 Works Great

I have been using a competing product for wireless shakers in my theater seating. With these, I immediately noticed that there was a significant improvement in what might be latency with the old setup, lack of headroom/bandwidth or something like this, sloppy feel between my wired and wireless low frequency drivers. So far there have not been any dropouts and the system is considerably more punchy and tight. Also, no hum or ground loops either. I am very happy with my purchase.

Emotive products have always worked well for me. They're really enjoy doing business with them.

Excellent blue tooth system

Works as described ! Easy to setup and it operates a sub outside the house in a sun room about 35 -40 ft away through two walls. Maybe the signal is travelling around the corner …? It works , that is what is important.
I had to move receiver around a bit to find a sweet spot.

Do not purchase. Look elsewhere.

DO NOT PURCHASE.
Serious emphasize on DO NOT.
Product is practically unusable due to poor frequency allocations. Significant co-channel interference in the 200mhz-1. 2ghz range, causing significant conflict with 802. 11 (wifi) protocols, which could be easily remedied, had Emotiva designed this product WITH the ability to manipulate transmit frequency and/or amplitude. The lack thereof renders it useless in any household utilizing 802. 11AC/AX/BE (WiFi 5, 6 & 7) access points. I spent 3 afternoons experimenting with different positions for direct Line of Sight, balanced vs unbalanced RCA cables, and just about every other layer1 property. But met no positive results. With an 802. 11BE (WiFi 7) access point transmitting at 28db and a received value of -35db from my phone, RX amplitude would drop to as low as -60db within 5ft of an Emotiva receiver, and below -80db when placed within the Line of Sight path.
From an audio standpoint, this interference causes the receivers to produce a continuous white noise tone that's roughly 30db in audible amplitude, and constant pops / audio disconnects. Keep these away from your subwoofers if you value them, as the input signal is significantly distorted and the clipping is very high in amplitude, causing excessive excursion and possible damage to your driver and/or amplifier. Seriously, do NOT purchase from this company.
Emotiva support initially provided immediate responses, up until the point that I requested a refund. Haven't heard back in 4 days now. First and last time I'll place an order here.

Moved my sub across the room

I purchased these after recently finding out that you can connect a sub wireless. They work great and I detect no sound degradation. My wife is happy now that she doesn't have to look at the "big black box" anymore. The only thing I would mention is that they required external power so an outlet is necessary nearby. They look cool and work great. Easy set up.
