SAGE L150m

Unpacking and Installing the L150m 

The 

Wisdom Audio Sage L150m

 on-wall speaker is a substantial piece of equipment. 

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 while bending or twisting from the waist. 

Use your legs for lifting, not your back. Always stand as straight as possible and keep the 
L150m close to your body to reduce strain on your back.  

The speaker is shipped in a “telescoping” box (two five-sided boxes, one of which fits 
snugly inside the other). Gently roll the box over so that its bottom is facing up. Then 
carefully cut the tape along the bottom of the box on all four sides. Roll the box over 
again so the bottom is on the floor and lift off the top. With one person at each end, 
carefully lift the speaker out of the box and lay it on a soft surface (carpet or similar). 
We do not recommend removing the grille on your new loudspeakers. The grille is an 
integral part of the design; moreover, the planar magnetic film should never be 
touched, as it is tensioned precisely at the factory. The grille plays an important 
protective role as well as an aesthetic one. 

After unpacking your L150m, keep all packing materials for future transport. 

If you 

need to ship your speaker, only the original, purpose-designed shipping carton is 
acceptable. Any other method of shipping this product runs a significant risk of damage 
to the speaker – damage that would not be covered by the warranty. (If you lose your 
packaging and need

 

to ship your speakers, replacement packaging can be purchased 

from Wisdom Audio.)  

Proper Planar Placement for front L&R and Rear Surrounds  

When using the L150m for front L&R and or Rear Surrounds the planar drivers should 
always be placed on the inside as shown below in a front screen wall LCR example.
