Unpacking & Installing the L75i

Your new Wisdom Audio Sage L75i in-wall speaker is a substantial piece of

equipment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your L75i to ensure that

you do not strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight.

Caution! Do not attempt to lift your L75i by yourself. Unpacking these

speakers is easy for two people, but it is unwise for a single person to

attempt doing so.

Do not attempt to lift your L75i while bending or twisting from the

waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back.

Always stand as straight as possible and keep the L75i close to your

body to reduce strain on your back.

The loudspeaker is in a “telescoping” box (two ve-sided boxes, one of which

ts snugly inside the other). Gently roll the box over so that its bottom is facing

up. Then carefully cut the tape along the bottom of the box on all four sides.

Roll the box over again so the bottom is on the oor, and lift off the top. With

one person at each end, carefully lift the speaker components out of the box

and lay them on a soft surface (carpet or similar).

There are three major pieces involved in a single L75i loudspeaker:

• the Uni-Grip™ in-wall mounting system

• the high operating pressure bass module

• the planar magnetic midrange/treble module

Note that there is an “up” and a “down” to the Uni-Grip™ for the L75i, due

to differences in the pattern of threaded holes used to attach the planar and

woofer speaker modules to the frame of the Uni-Grip™ itself.

1. Determine the area for the speaker installation and locate the

cutout guide using push pins to secure it in place. Ensure that the

template is plumb using a bubble level or similar. Note: Make cer-

tain that there are no studs, plumbing or electrical conduit in the

intended area behind the wall before you begin marking and cut-

ting!

2. Trace the outer perimeter of the cutout guide with a pencil or a

utility knife.

3. Remove the traced section of sheet rock using a keyhole saw, and

clear debris from the edge of the hole.

4. Push any insulation to the side.

5. Disassemble bezel/Uni-Grip™ and place the supplied Allen head

screws to the side. Place the bezel in the wall cutout and insert

the Uni-Grip clamping bar through the opening at an angle, work-

ing on one side rst. Reinstall the Allen head screws with the

supplied 3/32” drill bit, securing both pieces to each other (sand-

wiching the wall between them), but do not tighten yet. Repeat on

the other side.

6. Using a level, adjust assembly in wall cutout to ensure that the

assembly is plumb. Tighten the Allen screws. Do not over torque

or strip these screws. The large clamping area of the Uni-Grip
