Note: Only Wilson Audio replacement resistors should be used in your Alexia V.
Changing the value or brand of resistor will have a potentially negative effect on
the sonic performance of your loudspeakers and can void your Warranty.
Midrange and Tweeter Resistors
The midrange resistors equal 1.05 ohms (2 X 2.10Ω in parallel). The tweeter re-
sistors equal 2.40 ohms (2 X 4.80Ω in parallel). Resistors provide precise level match-
ing for the midrange and tweeter drivers correspondingly. The resistors also act as
ultra-high-quality fuses which open before a driver can be damaged by excess power
(i.e. power surges, blackouts, clipping, etc.).
Woofer Damping Resistor
There is a single 30.0 ohms barrel resistor for the woofer level. This resistor is
preinstalled in the base of the Woofer enclosure and should not be changed by the
end user.
Resistor Fine Tuning
In rare instances it may be desirable to alter the levels of the tweeter or
midrange to overcome some room related tonal balance issues. Please contact your
Authorized Wilson Audio Dealer for help and more information on how to proceed.
