of one hand or even a non-marring, dead blow hammer will help jar it loose.
(Make sure the speaker itself is being supported by an assistant so it does not come
free from the wall unexpectedly.)
Important!
Do not use the P38m as a shelf! While its mounting system is quite
rugged, it is designed to securely support the weight of the speaker itself. Do not
place additional objects on it, and do not climb on it.
Making the P38m Connections
As with any system, you should make changes to the connections only when the
power is turned off to avoid any chance of inadvertently causing a problem (such
as a short-circuit).
Two sets of speaker wires are required for each
Sage P38m
loudspeaker: one for
the woofer (low pass) section, and a separate one for the planar magnetic (high
pass) section that handles the midrange and treble.
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 that you have already connected
the approved DSP Amplifiers/Processor with Active Crossovers and PEQ 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 signal that is split
into low-pass and high-pass sections, with the low-pass section going to one or
more Wisdom Audio SA Series amplifiers, and the high-pass section going to
additional SA Series amplifiers, 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 P38m
planar sections in a similar fashion, taking care with both channel
assignments and polarity.
