    When you become accustomed to the sound of your new Sage Cinema Series Hybrid Line Source speakers, conventional speakers sound a bit bland and lifeless. You may...
  • Page 7 Of course, the dynamic woofers themselves must be rather extraordinary in order to “keep up” with the planar magnetic drivers right up to the crossover frequency. All Sage Cinema Series speakers have been designed for optimal at response to 80 Hz, which is the most-common crossover frequency used with subwoofers.
  • Page 8 Line source speakers provide two significant advantages: Ceiling and floor reflections are minimized, resulting in greatly reduced • interference, letting you hear more of the speaker and less of the room; The sound pressure level (SPL) throughout the room is much more evenly •...

  • Page 10: Unpacking & Installing The Hybrid Line Source

    Unpacking & Installing the Hybrid Line Source Each module of the Wisdom Audio Sage Cinema Hybrid Line Source speaker is a substantial piece of equipment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your Sage Cinema speakers to ensure that you do not strain yourself from its (perhaps un- expected) weight.

    HLS may be mounted either with the planar drivers (PMD) on the top or the bottom. Contact Wisdom Audio when designing the installation for consultation on the best option for your particular design.

  • Page 12: The Importance Of A Baffle Wall

    The Importance of a Baffle Wall Whether used as an in-wall or as an on-wall speaker, the Hybrid Line Source is optimized for use on a solidly constructed surface. It should not be mounted in open framing, as this results in improper low frequency loading and many early reflection and diffraction effects that adversely affect performance.

Cut a hole in the wall’s surface just large enough for the face of the speaker itself, and adjust the mounting brackets so that the face of the speaker is flush with the wall face.

  • Page 14: Making The Hybrid Line Source Connections

    Making the Hybrid Line Source Connections As with any system, you should make changes to the connections only when the power is turned off to avoid any chance of inadvertently causing a problem (such as a short-circuit). 1. Remove the cover panel on the front of the HLS Center Module 2.
