SAGE P38m

To get comparable bass performance from a planar magnetic design, you would
need to have a huge speaker that would be impractical in most domestic living
spaces. It simply makes more sense to use the best transducer technology in each
area of the reproduced spectrum. One of Wisdom Audio’s strengths is in seamlessly
blending these technologies – particularly important given the high standards set by
our planar magnetic drivers.
Of course, the dynamic woofers themselves must be rather extraordinary to “keep
up” with the planar magnetic drivers right up to the crossover frequency.
Our woofers are different because they must be to do their job. Specifically, we
need highly dynamic, uncompressed bass (to keep up with the planar magnetic
drivers) that does not depend on a critical amount of enclosure volume (since these
speakers are mounted in your wall and use the space inside the wall as their
“enclosure”). These two design goals require rather extraordinary attention to
myriad details.
Many speakers include a mid-bass “bump” in their response to give the illusion of
going deeper in the bass than they actually do. Unfortunately, this “bump” makes
blending them seamlessly with a high-quality subwoofer almost impossible.
All
Sage Series
speakers have been designed to optimally crossover at
80 Hz, which is the most-common crossover frequency used with subwoofers.
Unpacking and Installing the P38m
The
Wisdom Audio Sage P38m
on-wall speaker is a substantial piece of
equipment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your P38m to ensure that you
do not strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift your P38m while bending or twisting from the
waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back. Always stand as straight as possible
and keep the P38m 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).
