SAGE P38m 

 

WISDOMAUDIO.COM 

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 P38m, 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.)  

Mounting the P38m on the Wall 

The mounting bracket that mounts to the wall is shipped attached to the back of the 
loudspeaker. It is removed by pulling “down” on it relative to the end of the 
speaker that will be “up” when installed on the wall. (Note that for horizontal 
center channel speakers, this means the bracket is pulled 

across 

the narrow 

dimension of the speaker.) 

It is recommended to place a screw into every open 

mounting hole so to avoid the bracket possibility resonating once the speaker is 
mounted to the wall.  

 

Please note that this guide assumes the wall surface is flat. If not, shims must be 
applied to the rear of the mounting bracket so that the mounting bracket is 
uniformly secured to the wall and flat (not distorted). The mounting steps are as 
follows: 

 

1.

 

Locate the area with the two sets of high- and low-pass speaker cables 
coming out of the wall.  

2.

 

The inside face of the bracket assembly has arrows stamped into it 
indicating which direction must be “up” when it is mounted on the wall. 
Align the center screw hole in the mounting bracket next to the speaker
