ERIOD
All audio equipment will sound its best after its components have been broken in for some period
of use. Wilson Audio breaks in all woofers and mid-range drivers for a 12 hour period. All drivers are then
tested, calibrated, and matched for their acoustical properties. In your listening room, expect 25 to 50% of
break-in to be complete after two hours of playing music fairly loudly. Ninety percent of break-in is com-
plete after 24 hours of playing. Playing a “disc repeat” overnight can accomplish this task quickly. Wilson
Audio recommends chamber music for this task.

ONSTRUCTION
At the core of each Wilson Audio loudspeaker design is the knowledge that to achieve the best per-
formance in the world, you must start with the best materials. Here are a few of the products that comprise
the
X-1/GrandSLAMM
enclosure.

ATERIAL
The X-1/GrandSLAMM cabinet is constructed from a high-density, phenolic resin based composite.
This composite meets and exceeds the highest of ANSI test standards for its use, while offering very tight
tolerances, high hardness, uniform density, and dimensional stability. The high hardness of this composite
not only offers excellent acoustical properties but it also provides an ideal surface for painting. Thus, your
high gloss finish will be as durable as it is beautiful.
