Wisdom Audio announced today that they will premiere their namesake Wisdom Series speaker systems to the public this holiday season.

The LS4 is designed to be used in conjunction with Wisdom's high output STS subwoofer for frequencies below 80Hz.

Unlike conventional speaker systems that typically incorporate various combinations of cone and dome transducers, the Wisdom Series models feature the company's newest planar magnetic line source drivers. A two-way system, each module features dual high efficiency and ultra-high output upper bass/lower midrange planar magnetic drivers that handle frequencies from 80 Hz to 750 Hz. From there, the high efficiency and ultra-high output upper midrange/tweeter planar magnetic driver covers the rest of the entire audible range, with flat response reportedly extending to beyond 20 kHz. The LS4 features ultra-high efficiency (100 dB at 1 watt/2.83V), along with ultra-high power handling, allowing the system to generate reportedly clean, undistorted sound levels to beyond 130dB.

Housed in a curved arc enclosure, the systems feature a unique aesthetic profile. Exposing the 80 inch tall structure of the 12 CNC machined aluminum driver frames with stainless steel micro perforated grills creates a spine, flanked by two rosewood panels that all converge at one finite point. Additional finishes are available, including matte black for behind-the-screen installations. As the depth of each on-wall enclosure is only 12 inches, customers also have the option of working with their interior designers to conceal otherwise visible LS4s and LS3s behind decorative, acoustically transparent cloth for a completely hidden and integrated installation.
