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.

The SC-1 System Controller manual has the pertinent details on precisely how 
to use it to optimize the performance of the system. For the purposes of this 
manual, a quick overview of the process is sufficient.

1. 

Tell the SC-1 which speakers are in the system

The software application that configures the SC-1 for your specific system 
has a series of menus that allow your installer to designate which model of 
Sage loudspeaker is used in each channel of the system. This allows you to 
mix and match freely, based on the best speaker for a given location.

2. 

Measure the room

Your installer will use a calibrated reference microphone to accurately 
measure the performance of each speaker at multiple locations in the lis-
tening area. This process ensures that the entire listening area is optimized, 
rather than optimizing only one location at the expense of others.

3. 

Select an appropriate target
Large and small rooms have intrinsically different traits. The room correc-
tion software allows for these characteristics to be taken into account for 
superior results.

4. 

Calculate the necessary room correction

The software then uses the power of the PC to calculate the correction 
filters your room requires, and downloads them into the SC-1 for you to 
audition.

5. 

Listen and save the result

You can listen to each set of correction filters prior to deciding whether 
it meets your expectations. Once you are satisfied, you can permanently 
save the results to the SC-1 (eliminating the need for the PC).

This process can be repeated if necessary, and a total of up to three indepen-
dent setup memories can be saved for different needs. For example, you might 
want different setup memories for different conditions such as drapes open vs. 
closed, or perhaps different target curves for different content (music, movies, 
gaming). Each of these setup memories can be saved to the SC-1 and then se-
lected as needed, with from the SC-1’s front panel, or via RS-232 and a control 
system your installer would create for you.
