rear spike on this step.

5.  Ensuring the Tweeter Module remains in the most forward posi-

tion in the track, move the alignment step block and position 
spike on the correct step according to the time alignment 
charts.

6.  Using your measurements for ear height and listening distance, 

locate the Micrometer setting on the “XVX Tweeter Module 
Chronosonic Micrometer Position” chart. There are two reference 
points of the Micrometer, labeled “A” and “B.” The chart indicates 
which of these markers to use. Using the rotary dial, move the 
Micrometer so that it aligns with the corresponding number on 
the chart. Once you’ve properly set the Micrometer position, 
used the two oval-head locking bolts located on the side of the 
Micrometer to secure it from further movement. 

Mounting the Upper Midrange Module

Note: Enlist the help of an assistant to safely install the Upper Midrange 
Module into the Gantry. The module is front heavy.

1.  There is a single ball-head receptacle located on the bottom rear of 

the Upper Midrange Module. There is also two spike tracks beneath 
the front side of the module. 

2.  Position your assistant to the rear of the Chronosonic XVX. Have 

your assistant prepare to balance the module and guide the ball-
head posts installed on the top of the Tweeter Module into the 
opening of the slots on the bottom of the Upper Midrange Module. 

3.  Once the ball-head post has been successfully inserted into the 

slot, carefully rest the Upper Midrange module such that the front, 
upward facing spikes from the Tweeter Module aligns with the two 
front track slots on the bottom of the Upper Midrange Module.

4.  The right spike track on the bottom surface of the Upper Mid-

range Module contains the calibrated numbers used for the 
proper alignment of this module. It is necessary to adjust the 
Upper Midrange Module fore-to-aft in such that right “A” spike 
rest on the correct numbered detent as indicated by the chart. 
Locate the correct number and carefully slide the module such 
that the spike is positioned below the correct detent. 

Note: 

The Chronosonic XVX’s time-domain performance gives it the ability 

to account for time-domain deviations in even the finest amplifiers. Wilson 
Audio has accumulated data relating to the specific time-domain signature 
of a variety of amplifiers. We are always working to improve the accuracy 
of the loudspeaker/amplifier interface. To this end, we will continue to add 
amplifiers to the database. For those amplifiers already tested, we are able to 
provide time-domain profiles and alignment modifications. Correcting for the 
amplifier’s time-domain further enhances system accuracy and overall perfor-
mance. Contact your Wilson Audio dealer for further details.
