be removed with a glass cleaner. Always use the dust cloth. Stronger solvents are not
recommended under any circumstances. Consult your dealer for further information if
required. To maintain the high luster of the finish, periodic polishing may be desired.
We recommend a nonabrasive carnauba-based wax and a soft cloth.
Care of the Grilles
Periodically, you will want to clean the WATT/Puppy’s grilles. This is best done
by using the round brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner hose. Gently vacuum the
front surface of the grille. Be careful not to apply too much pressure. Do not use a hard
plastic attachment against the grille. The grille cloth is stretched tightly over the grille
frame. Too much pressure or use of a hard plastic attachment could cause the grille ma-
terial to tear, especially in the corners.
Often Wilson speaker owners desire to change the look of their listening room by
changing the color of their speaker grilles. In addition to basic black, Wilson Audio
offers a variety of grille colors to match most WilsonGloss finishes. Contact your local
dealer for grille cloth samples or to order replacement grilles for your WATT/Puppys.
Break-in Period
All audio equipment will sound best after its components have been broken in
for some period of use. Wilson Audio breaks in all woofers and mid-range drivers for
approximately 12 hours. All drivers are then tested, calibrated, and matched for their
acoustical properties. In your listening room, expect 25 to 50 percent of break-in to be
complete after two hours of playing music at normal listening levels. Ninety percent of
break-in is complete after 24 hours of playing. Playing a CD on repeat overnight can
accomplish this task quickly. Wilson Audio recommends chamber music for this task.
