Wisdom Audio, the manufacturer of planar magnetic in-wall speakers, has gained product certification from TÜV SÜD America Inc. for its Sage Series line of electronics. This certification ensures that Sage Series products meet applicable electrical safety requirements in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, according to the company.
Wisdom Audio’s Sage Series SA-1, SA-2, and SA-3 amplifiers, as well as the SC-1 System Controller, were tested and passed domestic, Canadian, and European electrical safety requirements. As part of the ongoing certification process, TÜV SÜD America representatives will visit Wisdom Audio’s manufacturing facility quarterly to ensure that products being manufactured are identical to the certified product, and the manufacturing controls remain in place to support compliance with applicable certification standards.
Wisdom Audio’s SC-1 System Controller incorporates an electronic crossover, parametric equalization, and acoustic room correction that includes Audyssey MultEQ XT technology. It also offers selectable, RS-232 operable memory settings for optimized performance in varied acoustic settings for music and film environments. A PC-based installation application allows a professional installer to configure the SC-1 for the particular complement of Sage Series speakers used in a given installation.
The bi-amplified Sage Series includes dedicated low-frequency amplifiers for both its full-range speakers and subwoofer to ensure optimal in-room low frequency response. Respectively, these amplifiers are the SA-3 (3 x 500W) and the SA-2 (2 x 500W) for full-range speakers, and the SA-1 (1000W) for the subwoofer.
