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 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 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-2 and SC-3 System Controller) yields vastly improved results.
This manual focuses on the loudspeakers themselves. In order to fully understand
the system, we recommend you also review the manual for the SC-2/SC-3System
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-2/SC-3, STS subwoofers) to understand the system’s full
capabilities.
Your Wisdom Series LS4m loudspeakers are specifically designed to avoid the
compromises inherent in conventional speaker designs. The active crossover and
room correction circuitry in the SC-2 & SC-3 is essential to the speakers’ proper
operation. It is truly a “system” design, and not merely a collection of loudspeaker
drivers in a box.
