Section 3.1 – The Wilson Audio Setup Procedure

You are surely excited about setting up your WATCH Surrounds and doing some

listening, but before you begin, we would like to discuss some of the important room

acoustical information that will help you set up your loudspeakers properly.

Final Listening Room Setup (Voicing)

Wilson Audio loudspeakers are unmatched in their ability to reproduce the musi-

cal event. The WATCH System is truly state-of-the-art. However, room acoustics and

boundary interactions affect the sound of a loudspeaker to such a large degree that

poor setup can seriously degrade your enjoyment of even the finest loudspeaker.

Therefore, we offer the following section, which will present some guidelines on

room acoustics and their interactions with loudspeakers. While we will also outline

some detailed suggestions on the setup of the WATCH Surrounds, we strongly suggest

that you have your local Wilson Audio dealer perform the final speaker “voicing” with

you. Wilson dealers are specially trained in setting up Wilson loudspeakers and will

ensure that you realize the full value of your purchase. What follows is an outline of

the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure (WASP). When carefully followed, the process has

been shown to be the most effective method for setting up Wilson loudspeakers. WASP

works equally well for left and right channels, which are set up first, and for additional

speakers such a Center channel, Surrounds, or the WATCH Dog Passive subwoofer.

Zone of Neutrality: Main Left and Right Channels

The “Zone of Neutrality” is an area in your room where the speakers will sound

most natural. This location is where the speakers interact the least with adjacent room

boundaries. It is important to have a clear working space while determining the Zone

of Neutrality.

The following is a simple method to locate the Zone of Neutrality within your lis-
