suited to all aspects of enclosure construction. Therefore, like all Wilson loudspeakers,
the WATCH Surround is constructed of several exotic materials chosen for their specific
performance attributes relevant to different portions of the enclosure.
The WATCH Surround is constructed using non-resonant, high-density, composites
which are then cross-braced to further reduce cabinet resonance. Each of these com-
posites meets and exceeds the highest of ANSI test standards for its use, while offering
very tight tolerances, high hardness, uniform density, and dimensional stability.
Adhesive
Wilson Audio has conducted exhaustive research into the best adhesives to per-
manently bond our speaker enclosures. This is often an overlooked element crucial to
the proper performance of a loudspeaker. Correct modulus of elasticity, coefficient of
thermal expansion, and natural frequency response are just a few of the important ele-
ments of adhesives.
A highly cross-linked, thermo-set adhesive is used for the construction of the
enclosure. It was also chosen for its excellent bond strength, solvent resistance, hard-
ness, and optimum vibrational characteristics.
Section 6.3 – Depth of Design
WATCH Surround’s compellingly authentic performance and lasting value are
achieved through careful implementation of cutting edge design and engineering and
then executed using the highest performance materials. Wilson Audio’s use of propri-
etary enclosure materials and adhesives are employed to achieve truly exceptional
speaker cabinet performance. The use of these materials in the WATCH Surround results
in an enclosure that is inherently inert and non-resonant. All of these structural aspects
are combined, allowing Wilson Audio to deliver a product that maintains the strictest
structural tolerances, durability, and reliability. This also means that the WATCH Sur-
