spectrum. One of Wisdom Audio’s strengths is in seamlessly blending these technologies
– particularly important given the high standards set by our planar magnetic drivers.
Of course, the dynamic woofers themselves must be rather extraordinary to “keep up”
with the planar magnetic drivers right up to the crossover frequency.
Our woofers are different because they must be in order to do their job. Specifically, we
need highly dynamic, uncompressed bass (to keep up with the planar magnetic drivers)
that does not depend on a critical amount of enclosure volume (since these speakers
are mounted in your wall and use the space inside the wall as their “enclosure”). These
two design goals require rather extraordinary attention to myriad details.
The motor and suspension system of these woofers therefore includes all the critical
damping required for optimal operation. (In most speakers, the woofers depend on the
air trapped inside their enclosures as an additional “spring” to help them behave
properly.) Technically, this approach is known as an “infinite baffle” design. In practice,
the volume of air behind the speaker does not have to be infinite, of course. It just
needs to be large enough to not act like an acoustic “spring.” Recommended and
minimum enclosure volumes for the speaker are listed in the Specifications section and
repeated on the Dimensions page.
Many speakers include a mid-bass “bump” in their response to give the illusion of going
deeper in the bass than they actually do. Unfortunately, this “bump” makes blending
them seamlessly with a high-quality subwoofer almost impossible.
All Insight Series speakers have been designed to optimally crossover at 80 Hz which is
the most common bass management transition used to integrate with subwoofer(s).
Unpacking and Installing the P6i
Your new Wisdom Audio Insight Series P6i in-wall speaker is relative compact, but
surprisingly massive compared to most in-wall speakers. Please exercise caution when
unpacking your P6i to ensure that you do not strain yourself from its (perhaps
unexpected) weight.
1. Use the included cardboard template to trace the outline of the hole for the
speaker and carefully cut to the line.
2. Carefully remove the magnetic grille, tipping it off from one side to the other
