SAGE C20i 

 

WISDOMAUDIO.COM 

We recommend using heavy-gauge speaker wire, the gauge will vary dependent on your 
speaker run length. Please consult an authorized dealer to determine what gauge would 
be best for your application. 

 

For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you have already connected the SC-2/3 
System Controller as per the instructions found in its manual. As such, you should have 
signal coming from your source component(s) to a preamp/processor, and then on to 
the SC-2/3; following the SC-2/3, the signal is split into low and high sections, with the 
low section going to one or more Wisdom Audio SA Series amplifiers, and the high 
section going to another amplifier, which will drive the planar magnetic panels.  

Connect the outputs of your Wisdom Audio SA-series amplifier to the appropriate 
woofer sections, taking care to get both the channel assignments and the polarity 
correct. Connect the positive (+) terminals on the SA Series amplifier to the positive (+) 
terminals for the woofer on the loudspeaker; likewise, connect the negative (–) 
terminals on the amplifier and the speaker, respectively.  

Next connect the outputs of your chosen amplifier for the midrange/treble to the Sage 
C20i planar sections in a similar fashion, taking care with both channel assignments and 
polarity. 

Care & Maintenance 

To remove dust from the front of your C20i, use a feather duster or a lint-free soft cloth.  

Never attempt to clean the drivers themselves.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution! 

Do not touch the surface of the planar magnetic drivers, under any circumstances. The 

thin film has been carefully pre-tensioned at the factory; any subsequent contact can 

only damage it.
