Unpacking & Installing the

L150m

The Wisdom Audio Sage L150m on-wall speaker is a substantial piece of equip-
ment. Please exercise caution when unpacking your L150m to ensure that you
do not strain yourself from its (perhaps unexpected) weight.

Caution!

Do not attempt to lift your L150m by yourself. Unpacking these
speakers is easy for two people, but it is unwise for a single person to
attempt doing so.
Do not attempt to lift your L150m while bending or twisting from the
waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back.
Always stand as straight as possible and keep the L150m close to
your body to reduce strain on your back.

The loudspeakers are packed in “telescoping” boxes (two five-sided boxes, one
of which fits snugly inside the other). Gently roll the box over so that its bottom
is facing up. Then carefully cut the tape along the bottom of the box on all four
sides. Roll the box over again so the bottom is on the floor, and lift off the top.
With one person at each end, carefully lift the speaker out of the box and lay it
on a soft surface (carpet or similar).

The mounting bracket that mounts to the wall is shipped attached to the back of
the loudspeaker. It is removed by pulling “down” on it relative to the end of the
speaker that will be “up” when installed on the wall.

Please note that this guide assumes the wall surface is flat. If not, shims must
be applied to the rear of the mounting bracket so that the mounting bracket is
uniformly secured to the wall and flat (not distorted). The mounting steps are as
follows:

1. Locate the area with the two sets of high- and low-pass speaker

cables coming out of the wall.

2. The inside face of the bracket assembly has arrows stamped into

it indicating which direction must be “up” when it is mounted on
the wall. Align the center screw hole in the mounting bracket next
to the speaker cables and attach somewhat loosely using a dry-
wall screw (or similar), so you can adjust the bracket for plumb.

3. Using a bubble level to ensure that the mounting bracket is

plumb, mark screw holes for EZ-Toggle screws in end clips, using
the bracket itself as your template. You can use any opposing (di-
agonal) set of holes for mounting of the two EZ-Toggle screws in
each end clip.

4. Rotate the bracket out of the way and install two of the supplied

EZ-Toggle screws in each mounting bracket end clip as follows:
