Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your Wisdom Audio system. It incorporates many
design features designed to give you decades of pleasure and performance.
Many of these design choices are uncommon among loudspeaker manufactur-
ers, and bear some explanation. See the following section entitled “Description”
for more information.
Our unique driver designs and our emphasis on achieving real-world perfor-
mance account for the “system” approach taken. These are not speakers that
are simply connected to speaker wires and promptly forgotten. We recognize
that setting up a Wisdom Audio system is a bit more involved than connecting
a common set of loudspeakers, which is why we insist that our dealers perform
the installation and calibration of the systems. We know that the extra effort
(particularly as regards setting up the SC-1 System Controller) yields vastly im-
proved results.
About this manual
This manual focuses on the loudspeakers themselves. In order to fully under-
stand the system, we recommend you also review the manual for the SC-1
System Controller, without which these speakers will not perform correctly.
While we expect your local Wisdom Audio dealer to take care of the setup and
calibration of the system, we still recommend that you at least briefly review this
and the other manuals (SC-1, STS or S100i subwoofers) to understand the sys-
tem’s full capabilities.
Your Wisdom Series LS4i loudspeakers are specifically designed to avoid the
compromises inherent in conventional speaker designs. The active crossover
and room correction circuitry in the SC-1 is essential to the speakers’ proper op-
eration. It is truly a “system” design, and not merely a collection of loudspeaker
drivers in a box.
