shipment, and setup in your listening room, we have applied a removable layer 

of protective film over the finish. We recommend that this film be left in place 

until the speakers are in their final location in your listening room. Once you 

have determined their final position, remove the film by following this proce-

dure:

1.  Ensure the speaker surface is room temperature before remov-

ing the protective film. 

Note: Removing the protective film when the speaker surface is cold can 
damage the paint surface. 

2.  Slowly remove the film from the top down, large sections at a 

time, gently pulling the film downward and outward. 

Note: Tearing the film aggressively can damage the paint.

3.  Take care in removing the protective film near edges and cor-

ners to prevent paint damage in these areas. 

4.  The protective film should not be left on the painted surface 

for extended periods of time nor exposed to heat sources and 
direct sunlight.

Section 4.4—Resistors

By removing the small glass cover on the upper bevel on the rear of the 

Woofer Module of your Chronosonic XVX, you may gain access to the resistor 

plate. These resistors serve several functions.

Note: Only Wilson Audio replacement resistors should be used in your 
Chronosonic XVX. Changing the value or brand of resistor will have a dele-
terious affect on the sonic performance of your loudspeakers and will void 
your Wilson Audio Warranty.

Midrange and Tweeter Resistors

There are two separate midrange level resistors. The 4” mid consists of 

a1.5Ω resistor (four 1.5Ω resistors in series/parallel) resistor assembly, and the 

set of 7” mids, which consists of 0.10Ω (Four 0.10Ω resistors in series/parallel) 

resistor assembly. The tweeter level consists of a 2.1Ω (Four 2.1Ω resistors in 

series/parallel) resistor assembly. Resistors provide precise level matching for 

the midrange and tweeter drivers correspondingly. The resistors also act as a 

ultra-high-quality fuse which opens before a driver can be damaged by excess 

power. 

Woofer Damping Resistor

There is a resistor for the Rear-firing Tweeter, which consists of a 4.8Ω re-

sistor. There is a 14.5Ω barrel resistor barrel resistor for woofer level. This resis-

tor is pre-installed in the base of the Woofer Module and should not be changed
