Owner`s manual

tensive testing on the Surround channel and found that significant improvement on speaker

linearity and integration can be achieved by careful selection of the Surround channel

mounting location.

We realize that the location of the Surround channel is generally set by the archi-

tecture of the room. However, if you have some flexibility in locating your Surrounds, we

suggest that you use WASP to find the Zone of Neutrality. Be sure to listen for room modes

and frequency response peaks or dips.

WATCH Dog Passive Subwoofer

Because the WATCH Dog’s frequency range is limited to the sub-frequency bass

range, its placement requirements are slightly different than for a full frequency speaker.

The ideal position of the WATCH Dog passive subwoofer is somewhat dependent on its

primary use. In home theaters, where the WATCH Dog is used as the Low Frequency Ef-

fects (LFE) channel, it may be located in a variety of positions, depending on architectural

considerations. In general, the lower frequency range will be reinforced by room boundar-

ies and corners. Since most of the information contained in the LFE channel is in the sub-

frequency bass range, with little information in the mid and upper bass, there are some ad-

vantages to placing the WATCH Dog near the room boundaries or near a corner. Some care

is needed to avoid introducing upper-bass colorations caused by corner placement. While

surround processors provide the low frequency equalized signal for the LFE Channel, it has

been our experience that in some systems it is desirable to use the Low Pass crossover (via

the Wilson Controller) to additionally limit upper bass range. This is particularly important

and useful when the WATCH Dog is placed in the corner. Since all Wilson Audio Speakers

are phase and time coherent, it is very important to time align the WATCH Dog in the room

using the Phase Control on the Controller (see Controller owner’s manual).
