Page 4: Introduction
SC-1 is essential to the speakers’ proper operation. In addition, the SA-series amplifiers are specifically designed to meet the needs of the unique bass system of your Sage L150i speakers. It is truly a “system” design, and not merely a collection of loudspeaker drivers in a box. -
Page 5: Description
When you become accustomed to the sound of your new Sage L150i speakers, conventional speakers sound a bit bland and lifeless. -
Page 6: Easy On Amplifiers
By contrast, the Sage L150i speakers radiate sound as a “line source.” The sound moves into the room as an expanding cylinder, rather than as an expanding sphere —... -
Page 7: Dynamic Woofers
For more detailed information on the loudspeaker drivers in general, and planar magnetic drivers in particular, please refer to the Planar Magnetic Technology white paper that can be found on the Wisdom Audio web site, at www.wisdomaudio.com. Authoritative, deep bass requires that you move a lot of air. We have chosen... -
Page 8: Designed For Biamplification
But you can also biamplify a full range loudspeak- er, driving the woofer separately from the drivers that handle the midrange and treble frequencies. Your Sage L150i is such a speaker, designed to use separate amplifiers for the woofer and the planar sections of each loudspeaker. -
Page 9: Unpacking & Installing The L150I
Unpacking & Installing the L150i Your new Wisdom Audio Sage L150i in-wall speaker is a substantial piece of equipment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your L150i to ensure that you do not strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight. Caution! Do not attempt to lift your L150i by yourself. - Page 10 Important Note: The Wisdom Audio L150i is a biamplified speaker that requires three sets of speaker wire to each location rather than the usual two. One pair of connections is for the planar magnetic module, whereas the woofer module uses two sets of connections, one each for six of the twelve woofers.

Unpacking & Installing the L150m The Wisdom Audio Sage L150m on-wall speaker is a substantial piece of equip- ment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your L150m to ensure that you do not strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight. Caution! Do not attempt to lift your L150m by yourself. - Page 12 a. Using a #2 Phillips bit in your cordless drill, spin the E-Z Toggle Anchor into the drywall until the head of the anchor is seated flush and the arrows on the head of the anchor point up and down.

Page 13: Room Acoustics & Placement
Room Acoustics & Placement Wisdom Audio believes in equalization. Assume for a moment that you had a “perfect” loudspeaker: as soon as you place it in your room, its perfection is gone. In fact, even good rooms often introduce deviations of 20 dB to the re- sponse of the system, particularly at low frequencies. -

Page 16: Room Treatment
(The minimization of these reflections is one of the strongest arguments for the tall, line source loud- speakers that Wisdom Audio builds.) This leaves you with eight “first reflections” that you should consider minimizing somehow. These points are easily found by having an assistant slide a small mirror along the four walls of the room, while you sit at the listening position. -

Find someone who specializes in and has a great deal of experi- ence designing home studios, home theaters, and the like. Your Wisdom Audio dealer may be such a person; failing that, he/she can help you find such a pro- fessional. -
Page 18: Optimizing The System
Optimizing the System A Wisdom Audio loudspeaker system is just that: a system, designed to provide the highest calibre of performance, in the widest variety of possible settings. As such, simply connecting all the wires does not mean the system is optimized. -
Page 19: Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance To remove dust from the cabinet of your L150, use a feather duster or a lint-free soft cloth. To remove stubborn dirt and fingerprints, we recommend isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth. Lightly dampen the cloth with alcohol first and then clean the surface of the L150i with the cloth. -
Page 20: North American Warranty
The warranty will not apply to any Wisdom Audio loudspeaker that has been misused, abused, al- tered, or installed and calibrated by anyone other than an authorized Wisdom Audio dealer. -
