Care of the Grilles
Periodically, you will want to clean the Sophia’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 at-
tachment 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 material
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 Sophias.
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.

Materials
Wilson Audio has conducted many hours of research on the impact of materials on
speaker enclosure performance. Through this effort, Wilson pioneered the use of non-
resonant materials, first with the use of mineral-filled acrylic in the WATT and continu-
ing with the further development of proprietary materials for X-1 Grand SLAMM and
