Operating Voltage
For	compatibility	with	existing	household	outlets,	a	standard	three	prong,	20	
ampere	plug	is	provided	on	the	removable,	IEC-standard	AC	mains	cable.	
The	Wisdom	Audio	SA-1	may	be	set	for	100V,	120V,	or	230V/240V	AC	mains	
operation.	Outside	the	United	States,	and	depending	on	local	electrical	codes	
and	regulations,	the	AC	mains	cord	may	need	to	be	replaced	with	one	that	con-
forms	to	local	plug/outlet	standards.	
Note	that	the	AC	receptacle	employs	a	20-amp	IEC-standard	socket	
(not	the	more	common	15-amp	IEC	socket).
The	operating	voltage	of	the	SA-1	may	not	be	changed	by	the	user.	Your	ampli-
fier	has	been	preset	at	the	factory	for	the	voltage	of	the	country	for	which	it	was	
built.	If	you	move	to	a	country	with	a	different	AC	mains	voltage,	please	contact	
your	local	Wisdom	Audio	distributor	or	Wisdom	Audio	for	assistance.
Caution!
Always	make	certain	the	SA-1	is	set	to	the	correct	voltage	before 
connecting	it	to	AC	mains	power!	Failure to do so can severely 
damage the unit and void the warranty.
This	power	amplifier	has	an	extremely	large	power	supply,	and	consequently	
includes	a	special	protection	circuit	that	protects	your	AC	mains	circuit	from	ex-
cessive	in-rush	currents	when	power	is	applied	to	the	unit.	
Caution!
Please	allow	thirty	seconds	between	turning	the	unit	On	and	Off,	or	
toggling	between	Operate	and	Standby,	to	ensure	that	the	in-rush	
protection	circuit	has	an	opportunity	to	reset	itself	properly.	
Failure	to	observe	this	procedure	may	result	in	nuisance	tripping	of	the	AC	
mains	supply’s	circuit	breaker.	If	this	should	happen,	disconnect	the	amplifier,	
reset	the	AC	mains	supply’s	circuit	breaker,	and	wait	for	two	minutes	before	re-
connecting	the	amplifier	to	the	AC	mains.
