SCS Subwoofer
The SCS is nicknamed the "Suitcase Sub" because of its uncommon form factor and size of 7-inches W x 22.5-inches H x 37-inches D. When installation of the Sage Series S90i in-wall subwoofer is not practical, the compact size and aspect ratio of the SCS allows it to be placed in areas where other in-room subwoofers will not fit, offering customers a unique freestanding subwoofer option – one that can actually be hidden.
We examined all types of transducer and cabinet loading options to determine a design that would complement the extraordinary dynamics and low distortion of our planar magnetic systems. The Regenerative Transmission Line™ design of the S90i proved to be the ideal option for ensuring a high performance, no-compromise low frequency solution when installed in a stud bay, ceiling, or floor. And, the freestanding SCS uses this same Regenerative Transmission Line™ design to deliver results that simply belie its diminutive size.
The SCS is powered by a 400-watt internal amplifier and is capable of 120 dB @ 25 Hz. The dual 5-inch x 7.5-inch woofer design yields an equivalent active cone area of 13 inches and is taken directly from the larger Sage Series S90i in-wall subwoofer.
The unique 'multi-port' design allows for flexibility in how the SCS' output is ported into the room. The uncommon shape of the SCS creates opportunities for installation in places where a cube subwoofer would not fit or be effective. In taking full advantage of the seven-inch dimension, the SCS can be placed under or behind furniture, such as a sofa or cabinets, so as to remain out of sight, and with the port configured to any of three sides. Never before has a freestanding subwoofer offered such unprecedented installation flexibility.
The Sage Series SCS subwoofer's highly efficient and compact design yields fast, dynamic, articulate results with accurate timbre. When used in a Sage Series speaker system, Audyssey™ room correction is provided via the SC-1 System Controller, and further optimizes the SCS's in-room response.
However, unlike the S90i, which is required to be used in conjunction with the Sage Series SC-1 System Controller, the SCS's integral crossover and gain control allow it to be used with a wide range of systems. Instead of living with the compromise of a conspicuous "bass cube" subwoofer, the SCS can be considered for use with any speaker system where the deepest bass should be heard, but not seen. With its ability to be placed under or behind furniture, such as sofas and beds, or hidden inside theater risers or entertainment rack kick panels, the SCS makes most subwoofers appear cumbersome and inflexible.
The SCS strikes the perfect balance when a subwoofer must be placed within a room – no more compromises required.

Environmental Testing Data View»
Designing reliable audio products involves the exhaustive and thorough evaluation of every component part used in their construction. Every material type, adhesive, and finish coating must be chosen carefully.
In order to insure the highest degree of reliability of our products when exposed to the most extreme environmental conditions, Wisdom Audio has submitted all key components to severe environmental testing. As many of the transducers are new to a large part of the audio market, the question of reliability is raised from time to time, especially as it relates to marine applications.
The components were exposed to the following conditions in a variety of test chambers by Environmental Associates of Chatsworth, California.
- Exposure to 85 degrees Celsius at 85% relative humidity for a period of ten days.
- Temperature cycling from minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 105 degrees Celsius with a two hour dwell time at each extreme for a period of five days.
- Salt fog exposure at 95 degrees F with a 5% mist of salt solution for 48 hours.
The test results were very interesting and useful, allowing us to make minor modifications to what otherwise endured these extremes beyond even our own expectations.
