The Cinema Suite System

Wisdom Audio planar magnetic loudspeakers sit behind an acoustically transparent Stewart Filmscreen. The driver is a light film suspended in a rare-earth magnetic field and driven across its whole surface rather than pushed from a voice coil, which gives high sensitivity, low distortion and — in the line source configurations — even coverage across the width of the room with floor and ceiling reflections largely cancelled.

Amplification is Wisdom's own SA-3: three channels, 500 watts each into four ohms with all three driven, in a 2U chassis running at roughly ninety percent efficiency. Balanced XLR in, Cardas connectors out. The efficiency matters more here than it sounds — less waste heat means no cooling fans, and no fans means a silent room.

Processing is the Trinnov Altitude16, which carries the full Altitude platform into a twenty-channel system: Dolby Atmos to twenty discrete channels, DTS:X Pro to twenty, Auro-3D to 13.1, IMAX Enhanced, with the Optimizer and patented 3D Remapping correcting the room rather than equalizing a curve. Sony handles projection, and a Kaleidescape server handles the library.
