Your Hybrid Line Source and Subwoofers
All Sage Cinema Series loudspeakers are optimized for use with subwoofers, with a
crossover of 80 Hz. (This is the most common frequency below which subwoofers are
used.)
When properly installed in the wall, your Hybrid Line Source has inherently a
response to 80 Hz, witho
ut the common “bass bump” that characterizes most in
-wall
speakers and is placed there to yield the impression of “more bass” than there really
is. This makes it easy to blend seamlessly with a high quality subwoofer such as one
of Wisdom Audio’s Regenera
tive Transmission Line
™
(RTL
™
) subwoofers.
You should set up your surround processor for a crossover of 80 Hz and set the
Hybrid Line Source
speakers as “Small” in the speaker setup portion of your
processor’s
setup menu. Doing so ensures that all content below 80 Hz is directed to
the subwoofer(s) for reproduction.
Care & Maintenance
To remove dust from the front of your Hybrid Line Source, use a feather duster or a
lint-free soft cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt and fingerprints from the grille, we recommend isopropyl
alcohol and a soft cloth. Lightly dampen the cloth with alcohol first and then clean
the grille of the Hybrid Line Source with the cloth. Do not use excessive amounts of
alcohol
—
there is no need for the cloth to be wet; merely damp is better.
Never attempt to clean the drivers themselves.
Caution!
Do not touch the surface of the planar magnetic drivers, under any
circumstances. The thin film has been carefully pre-tensioned at the factory; any
subsequent contact can only damage it.
