DOCUMENT CONVENTIONS This document contains general safety, installation and operation instructions for the Wisdom Audio S90i Subwoofer. It is important to read this document before attempting to use this product. Pay particular attention to: WARNING: Calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or death.
Wisdom Audio’s Insight or Sage Series. This manual focuses on the S90i subwoofer itself. In order to fully understand the system, we recommend you also review the manual for the SC-2/3 System Controller, or SW-1 subwoofer amplifier, or MiniDSP-1 subwoofer processor, without one of which this subwoofer will not perform correctly.
Do not attempt to lift your S90i by yourself. Unpacking this subwoofer is clearly a two-person job. It is unwise for a single person to attempt doing so. Do not attempt to lift your S90i while bending or twisting from the waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back.

“feet” to support the S90i slightly above the sole plate, to allow room for the wiring and the base- board of the finished wall. (Rooms with unusually tall baseboards may require the S90i to be mounted somewhat higher still.)
Unfortunately, it is often difficult to do much about the ceiling and floor reflections, even though they are arguably the most destructive.

The S90i will use virtually all of the available space in a standard eight foot 2 x 6 stud bay. 2. Stand the S90i in front of the bay in which it will reside; make the electrical connections a.

Wisdom Audio SA Series amplifiers. A “pigtail” connection is provided at one end of the S90i. Since the S90i fills a standard 2 x 6 stud bay, the simplest thing is to drill a hole in one of the 2 x 6 studs and thread the pigtail through to the adjacent bay, where you have ample room to make connections and run the wires.

Making the S90i Connections (Continued) Alternatively, the incoming signal can be routed directly into the small space provided by the “feet” of the S90i, and the connection to the pigtail can be make just prior to installing the S90i in the wall.
No responsibility is assumed for any incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty S90i and other states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
If your Wisdom Audio loudspeaker must be serviced, please contact your dealer. Your dealer will then decide whether the problem can be remedied locally, or whether to contact Wisdom Audio for further service information or parts, or to obtain a Return Authorization. The Wisdom Audio Service Department works closely with your dealer to solve your service needs expediently.
Accessories Extension Port “f/c” Kit The S90i’s port can be extended up to 30” (76 cm) for mounting under the floor, in the ceiling or venting the sub from an adjacent room. For more information and pricing please consult your approved Wisdom Audio dealer.
