Section 2�3—Correcting for the Time Domain

Like all ultra-high performance loudspeakers, TuneTot will sound far more 

lifelike if the time domain is properly corrected. In a compact two-way design 

such as TuneTot, this can be effectively achieved by angling the baffle in correct 

relationship to the listener. When the time domain is properly adjusted in a Tune-

Tot installation, every aspect of sound reproduction is improved—including tonal 

accuracy and beauty, transient speed, soundstage and imaging, and a sense of 

dynamic contrast.

Time Domain Setup 

Wilson engineers have devised a simple and effective method for achiev-

ing the correct time domain for each installation with TuneTot. The correct baffle 

angle in relationship to the viewer is achieved visually. In the case of TuneTot, 

baffle angle and correct time domain are interchangeable. Wilson’s engineers de-

termined that if there is a correct amount of “reveal” on the top plane of TuneTot’s 

cabinet, as seen from the listening position, it is a reliable indicator for correct 

time domain in relationship of TuneTot to the listener. 

This is accomplished via the following process:

1.  Make sure that your TuneTots are properly positioned with cor-

rect “toe” as outlined in the previous section. 

2.  The listener should be in the listening position, his/her posture 

Too little reveal
