Making the C38i 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 C38i 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
C38i planar sections in a similar fashion, taking care with both channel assignments and
polarity.
