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  

Your 

Sage C150m series 

loudspeaker is 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 

Sage C150m

 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
