Connection With a Surround Processor
You must use a dedicated amplifier to power your Passive WATCH Dog. The Dog
subwoofer can be used in conjunction with your surround processor without the need
of an additional crossovers. In those systems where the WATCH Dog is being used as
the point one channel in a surround system, the subwoofer is connected through the
sub output of the surround processor. Connect this output to the input of the Dog’s
amplifier and, in turn, connect the amplifier output to the input of the Passive WATCH
Dog.
In systems where it is desirable to use the subwoofer in both the surround mode
and to augment the main speakers when listening to music, the following connec-
tion strategy employing the Wilson Controller is recommended (see also the Controller
owner’s manual for further details).
Bypassing The High Pass Filter
In systems where the main speakers are full range, the WATCH Dog can be con-
figured more successfully without the use of the High Pass Filter. There is a normal
bass roll-off that occurs naturally in your listening room. This effect acts like a six dB
per octave low pass filter. By carefully using the Controller’s Low Pass filter controls,
along with the Bass Equalization and Phase controls (discussed in detail in the Control-
ler owner’s manual), you can successfully integrate the main loudspeakers in your sys-
tem with the WATCH Dog without the use of the High Pass Filter (see also the Control-
ler owner’s manual for connection details).
Utilizing The High Pass Filter
The WATCH Controller employs a high quality High Pass Filter as a part of its
crossover design. The High Pass Filter can be used to filter bass from the main loud-
speakers. This can be desirable in systems where the main loudspeakers have limited
