Introduction 

Congratulations on purchasing your Wisdom Audio system. It incorporates many design 
features engineered to give you decades of pleasure and performance. Many of these 
design choices are uncommon among loudspeaker manufacturers and bear some 
explanation. See the following section entitled “Overview” for more information.  

Our unique driver designs and our emphasis on achieving real-world performance 
account for the “system” approach taken. These are not speakers that are simply 
connected to speaker wires and promptly forgotten. We recognize that setting up a 
Wisdom Audio system can be a bit more involved than connecting a common set of 
loudspeakers, which is why we recommend that our systems be engineered and 
calibrated by Factory Personnel  

Your 

Sage L75m series 

loudspeaker are specifically designed to avoid the compromises 

inherent in conventional speaker designs. There are no passive crossover components 
inside the speaker. Instead, there are direct connections from the amplifiers to their 
respective High-Pass and Low-Pass drivers and an external active crossover is used, such 
as the ones inside of our Wisdom SA-DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Amplifiers. It is truly 
a “system” design, and not merely a collection of loudspeaker drivers in a box. Please 
contact us to learn which products/amplifiers/ surround processors outside of our DSP 
Amplifiers will work with our speakers and subwoofers.

Overview 

Your 

Sage L75m

 loudspeakers take advantage of several critical technologies to deliver a 

level of performance that has never been available in a loudspeaker that intruded so 
modestly on your living space. In fact, this level of performance has rarely been 
attained, regardless of the space and budget at one’s disposal.  

Since several of these technologies cannot readily be found elsewhere, we will take the 
time to describe them in more detail than would be necessary for more conventional 
designs.
