Wisdom

Wisdom Audio make planar-magnetic loudspeakers for installation in serious rooms, and have done so, from Carson City, Nevada, since 1996. The founding engineers came out of the Magnepan and Genesis traditions, and brought with them a deep familiarity with thin-line ribbon and planar driver technology: a thin, tall radiating surface that disperses sound differently — and, in many ways, more naturally — than a conical cone in a sealed box.

The speakers exist primarily to be hidden. The L-series and P-series in-wall planars are designed to vanish into the architecture of a listening room or a private cinema, and to do so without losing the dynamic reserve, low-frequency authority or imaging that a serious system requires. A correctly installed Wisdom system, behind acoustically transparent fabric, is a loudspeaker the listener does not see at all — only hears.

The flagship Sage Series — Sage L75, L100, L150 — is built for reference home cinemas where the loudspeaker count is high and the dynamic ceiling is uncompromising. These are the speakers we specify into rooms where the architectural finish takes precedence and the audio engineering refuses to compromise for it.

Wisdom Audio also produce the matching subwoofer and processing electronics — the SCS series, the SC series — designed to integrate the planar mid-and-high range with the kind of bass output a large room properly demands.

A Wisdom system is the answer to a particular kind of architectural request: invisible loudspeakers that, in the listening, are not invisible at all.
