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.
System-Specific EQ
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.
