System-Specific EQ

Since each channel of the amplifier is delivering current into its load only over a limited range of frequencies, several forms of distortion are reduced as com- pared to each channel handling the full range of musical information.

The SC-1 supports up to a “7.3 channel” system, meaning that up to seven main speakers can be supported (all of which are biamplified), plus up to three inde- pendent subwoofer channels. All of these outputs benefit from room correction, described above.

Wisdom Audio speakers deliver extraordinary performance from slim, elegant enclosures. However, we cannot cheat the rules of physics. Delivering powerful bass from such small enclosures places unusual demands on both the woofers and the amplifiers used to drive them.

Specifically, equalization is used to compensate for the unusually small enclo- sure volume behind the woofer. This approach is used in almost all dedicated subwoofers today, and we use it in our full range speakers. Doing so allows us to achieve the bass performance usually associated much larger speakers, but in elegant enclosures that support modern lifestyle choices.
