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 Duettes.

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.

Section 5.1 – Enclosure Technology

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

MAXX. Even the best materials are not suited to all aspects of enclosure construction.

Therefore, like all Wilson loudspeakers, the Duette is constructed of several exotic ma

terials chosen for their specific performance attributes relevant to different portions of

the enclosure.

Duette is constructed using non-resonant, high-density, composites which are then

cross braced to further reduce cabinet resonance. Each of these composites meets and
