tes above the Magnepods. The magnetic

force will center the cone in its proper

location. The cones will now be at

tached to the Duette, secured by the

Magnepods.

Remove the adhesive backing from

an “O” shaped cone gasket and careful

ly place one over each cone. Smooth

the gasket around the cone, making

sure the adhesive has good contact to

the bottom of the Duette. See Figure

12.

The Duette is now ready to place

into the cabinet.

Note: It is important to properly install
the cone gasket to prevent the Duette
from sliding on its cone.

Positioning the Duette in Custom Cabinets

Wilson Audio makes available a Cabinet “rough-out” kit. This kit should be in

stalled into the cabinet before the Duettes are installed. The Duette performance is

significantly enhanced when installed in conjunction with this kit.

Refer to the above tables and graphs (pages 38-41) to gain an understanding of

how Duette’s performance is affected by various vertical and horizontal placements.

The Duette benefits from fine tuning both side to side as well as front to back place

ment, within the constraints and limits of the cabinet. The Duette should be slightly
