XVX
Inst allation Guide
Section 2.1—Preparation
General Description
The Chronosonic XVX’s Upper Array uses the combination of captive
spikes, ball posts, and aspherical time-alignment stepped blocks. The spike/
block combination rotate the two upper submodules to a prescribed position as
a part of the Chronosonic XVX’s propagation delay adjustment.
Additionally, the spikes in the modules provide proper coupling of the
upper modules to the Gantry. Some of these spikes are fixed in size. The shorter
“A” spikes are always installed in the front two positions of the bottom of the
4-inch midrange module. In the Tweeter Module, the “A” spikes are installed in
the top surface of the module, pointing upward toward the upper-midrange
module above. Ball posts are installed into the bottom front of the Tweeter
Module, and into the top rear of that module. The ball posts are installed into
the bottom two front receptacles of the Lower Midrange Module.
For the bottom rear of the Tweeter Module as well as the Lower Midrange
Module, a different-length spike is used rotate the two submodules in order to
optimize the dispersion of the array. The spike-type is stamped into the flat sur-
face on the top of each spike. The spikes should be screwed in all the way, until
they are hand tight, then 1/16” further to tighten into place.
The Upper Midrange Module and the Tweeter Module form a submod-

ule, which is moved in tandem using the XVX Micrometer system. Similarly, the
4-inch Midrange Module and the Lower Midrange Module form a submodule,
which is moved by its corresponding XVX Micrometer system. These two sub-
modules are, in turn, attached to the XVX Micrometer truck mechanism via a
ball-head and captive slot system. The ball-head hardware is attached into the
threaded receptacle located on the bottom front of the Tweeter Module and the
Lower Midrange Module respectively.

Optimizing Propagation Delay in Your Room
The Chronosonic XVX system allows optimization for different listening
distances and listening ear heights. In order to calculate the proper time-do-
main settings for the upper modules, the distances from the listener’s ear to the
front, lower baffle of the XVX (see graphic on the next page), and the distance
from the floor to the listener’s ear must be accurately measured. For each dis-
tance/ear height combination there is a unique alignment geometry.
1. Refer to the Time Alignment Charts in Section 6. Time Align-
ment Tables for all Wilson loudspeakers are also available on
the Wilson Audio’s website.
2. Make sure that you are in your intended listening position.
