Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your Wisdom Audio system. It incorporates many design
features engineered to give you decades of pleasure and performance. Many of these
design choices are uncommon among loudspeaker manufacturers and bear some
explanation. See the following section entitled “Overview” for more information.
Our unique driver designs and our emphasis on achieving real-world performance
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 can be a bit more involved than connecting a common set of
loudspeakers, which is why we recommend that our systems be engineered and
calibrated by Factory Personnel.

loudspeakers are specifically designed to avoid the compromises
inherent in conventional speaker designs. There are no passive crossover components
inside the speaker. Instead, there are direct connections from the amplifiers to their
respective High-Pass and Low-Pass drivers and an external active crossover is used, such
as the ones inside of our Wisdom SA-DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Amplifiers. It is truly
a “system” design, and not merely a collection of loudspeaker drivers in a box. Please
contact us to learn which products/amplifiers/ surround processors outside of our DSP
Amplifiers will work with our speakers and subwoofers.
Overview
Your
Wisdom Series LS3m
loudspeakers take advantage of several critical technologies
to deliver a level of performance that has never been available in a loudspeaker that
intruded so modestly on your living space. In fact, this level of performance has rarely
been attained, regardless of the space and budget at one’s disposal.
Since several of these technologies cannot readily be found elsewhere, we will take the
time to describe them in more detail than would be necessary for more conventional
designs.
Our planar magnetic drivers use an advanced, thin film membrane to move the air. This
film can respond instantly to the smallest detail in the signal. It has vastly less inertia
than traditional “cone & dome” drivers, so the signal is never blurred in any way.
