Document Conventions This document contains general safety, installation and operation instructions for the Wisdom Audio Sage Series Minimal Appearance loudspeakers. 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.
You do not have to do anything to register your warranty for your Wisdom Audio products. (Isn’t that a pleasant surprise?) In the unlikely event that your loudspeakers ever require service, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased them. Between their records and ours, you should be all set.
System Overview The ICS3 Minimal Appearance Point Source Loudspeaker has several components that make up a complete system. A complete installation takes into account the type of ceiling surface and the size and shape of the grille opening. The finished installation matches flush mount lighting with both a completely flush grille and a seamless aesthetic with the lighting design.
Installing into the Mounting Platform ICS3-SPMD (Spiral Magnetic Planar Driver) Installation Into ICS3-Backbox: These instructions are for ceilings that have been finished and painted and are using the Gypsum Mounting Platform or the Solid Surface Mounting Kit. The Mounting Platform must be installed during pre-construction and the prewire must be completed and connected to the ICS3-Backbox containing the mid-bass driver.

In some installations, the ICS3 may be used full-range rather than with a subwoofer. If so, we recommend using a high-performance Wisdom Audio SA amplifier or comparable with between 100-300 watts per channel and a high pass filter to keep excess bass from the speakers of no lower than 80hz.
During the warranty period, any Wisdom Audio loudspeaker exhibiting defects in materials and/or workmanship will be repaired or replaced, at our option, without charge for either parts or labor, at our factory. The warranty will not apply to any Wisdom Audio loudspeaker that has been misused, abused, altered, or installed and calibrated by anyone other than an authorized Wisdom Audio dealer.
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.
