Section 1.3—WASP
An instructional video outlining the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure ( WASP)
can be found here: www.wilsonaudio.com/WASP. The proper positioning of your
new Chronosonic XVX within your room is critical in order to extract its formida-
ble performance envelope. When carefully followed, the WASP has proven to be
the most effective method for setting up Wilson loudspeakers. Your authorized
Wilson dealer is trained in this process, and is the best resource for you to en-
sure your loudspeakers are set up properly.
Viewing the video is the best way to learn how to properly employ WASP,
but we have also included an outline of it here.
Zone of Neutrality
It is important that the instructions in the following section are carried out
precisely. The Chronosonic XVX is a precision instrument, capable of ex-
tremely accurate alignment in the time domain if the following process is
meticulously followed.
You will need the following items:
•
Supplied hardware kit
•
Tape measure
•
Known listening position
•
Masking Tape
The “Zone of Neutrality” is an area in your room where the speakers will
sound most natural. This location is where the speakers interact the least with
adjacent room boundaries. It is important to have a clear working space while
determining the Zone of Neutrality.
The following is a simple method to locate the Zone of Neutrality within
your listening environment:
1. Stand against the wall BEHIND the location where you intend
to position your loudspeakers. Speaking in a moderately loud
voice and at a constant volume, project your voice out into
the room. Your voice will have an overly heavy, “chesty” quality
because of your proximity to the rear wall.
2. While speaking, slowly move out into the room, progressing in
a direction parallel to the sidewall. It is helpful to have anoth-
er listener seated in the listening position to assist you during
this process. Listen to how your voice “frees up” from the added
bass energy imparted by the rear wall boundary. Also notice
that your voice is quite spatially diffuse (to your assistant, your
voice will sound spatially large and difficult to localize) as you
begin to ease away from the rear wall.
