Page 4: Introduction
SC-1 is essential to the speakers’ proper operation. In ad- dition, the SA-series amplifiers are specifically designed to meet the needs of the unique bass system of your Sage L75 speakers. It is truly a “system” design, and not merely a collection of loudspeaker drivers in a box. -
Page 5: Description
When you become accustomed to the sound of your new Sage L75 speakers, conventional speakers sound a bit bland and lifeless. -
Page 6: Easy On Amplifiers
By contrast, the Sage L75 speakers radiate sound as a “line source.” The sound moves into the room as an expanding cylinder, rather than as an expanding sphere —... -
Page 7: Dynamic Woofers
In the Sage L75, for example, the active area of the midrange/treble driver is approximately 1“ wide by 48” tall. Because of this shape, the sound (even at high frequencies) is distributed uni- formly across the width of the room from a driver that “looks”... -
Page 8: Designed For Biamplification
But you can also biamplify a full range loudspeak- er, driving the woofer separately from the drivers that handle the midrange and treble frequencies. Your Sage L75 is such a speaker, designed to use separate amplifiers for the woofer and the planar sections of each loudspeaker. -

Unpacking & Setting Up the L75 The Wisdom Audio Sage L75 freestanding speaker is a substantial piece of equipment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your L75 to ensure that you do not strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight. Caution! Do not attempt to lift your L75 by yourself. - Page 10 Wisdom Audio spikes are reversible for use on either hard or carpeted floors. The sharp end of the spike is designed to penetrate the carpeting and couple to the floor beneath, for excellent stability and improved sound. When on tile or hardwood floors, however, use the blunt end of the spike instead to avoid floor damage.

(such as a short-circuit). Two sets of speaker wires are required for each Sage L75 loudspeaker: one for the woofer (low pass) section, and a separate one for the planar magnetic (high pass) section that handles the midrange and treble. -

Unpacking & Installing the L75i Your new Wisdom Audio Sage L75i in-wall speaker is a substantial piece of equipment.

Paint the bezel and grill as necessary, being careful not to plug up the holes in the grille. Note that the speaker modules are not mounted in the bezel and grille assembly at this time. They can be mounted later, after all the paint is dry.

Page 16: Room Acoustics & Placement
Room Acoustics & Placement Wisdom Audio believes in equalization. Assume for a moment that you had a “perfect” loudspeaker: as soon as you place it in your room, its perfection is gone. In fact, even good rooms often introduce deviations of 20 dB to the re- sponse of the system. -

Page 19: Room Treatment
(The minimization of these reflections is one of the strongest arguments for the tall, line source loud- speakers that Wisdom Audio builds.) This leaves you with eight “first reflections” that you should consider minimizing somehow. These points are easily found by having an assistant slide a small mirror along the four walls of the room, while you sit at the listening position. -

Find someone who specializes in and has a great deal of experi- ence designing home studios, home theaters, and the like. Your Wisdom Audio dealer may be such a person; failing that, he/she can help you find such a pro- fessional. -
Page 21: Optimizing The System
Optimizing the System A Wisdom Audio loudspeaker system is just that: a system, designed to provide the highest calibre of performance, in the widest variety of possible settings. As such, simply connecting all the wires does not mean the system is optimized. -
Page 22: Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance To remove dust from the cabinet of your L75, use a feather duster or a lint-free soft cloth. To remove stubborn dirt and fingerprints, we recommend isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth. Lightly dampen the cloth with alcohol first and then clean the surface of the L75 with the cloth. -
Page 23: North American Warranty
The warranty will not apply to any Wisdom Audio loudspeaker that has been misused, abused, al- tered, or installed and calibrated by anyone other than an authorized Wisdom Audio dealer. -
