With the exception of Center channels mounted on the ceiling, each of these op-
tions allow for some fine-tuning of the Center channel placement. If you are mounting the
Center channel on the ceiling, be sure to choose the location carefully as, except for the
tweeter adjustment, you will not be able to easily adjust the Center once it is mounted. A
poor placement of the Center channel will hamper its integration with the rest of the sys-
tem. As a general rule, the distance from the main Left and Right channels, as well as the
Center channel (as measured from the tweeters) should be equal in their relationship to
the listening position. This maintains the time coherence of the three front loudspeakers.
Ultimately, the Center channel phase delay correction will be made via the sliding tweeter
module.
Wilson recommends that the Center channel be positioned as centrally between the
Left and Right speakers as possible. Using the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure, experiment
with the fore to aft placement of the Center channel. This process will help you find the
location that offers the smoothest left, right, and center channel integration.
Surround Channel
Wilson Audio has done everything possible to eliminate the boundary interactions
caused by mounting a speaker onto the wall. The mounting bracket allows for significant
improvements in detail, speed, and clarity. The Surround channels will perform well in al-
most any location in which they are placed. The mounting bracket and the careful design
of the Surround channel have eliminated most of the sonic problems encountered when
placing a standard speaker too close to a boundary. Nevertheless, we have performed ex-
