Section 5.3—Integrating the WATCH System
Note: Many processors offer a setup guide that steps you through the integration of each
of the speakers, specifically, setting speaker distances, delays, and phase rotation. These
adjustments are made via internal electrical adjustments. We have found that actual
geometric changes, that is, moving the speaker location and rotation, offer improved
results when integrating speakers. We recommend that you follow the steps outlined
below, evaluate your system performance, and then make adjustments in the processor.
Ultimately, you will, of course, need to make level adjustments via the processor.
Integrating the WATCH Center
The next step in the setup process is to fine tune the location and rotation of the
Center channel. Do as follows:
•PlacetheCenterchannelcenteredbetweenthemainspeakersandeven
with the front inner edge. Set the spikes as indicated in Section 4.
•Followtheprocessorinstructionsonleveladjustment.Adjustthelevelon
the Center channel so it matches in level with the left and right channels.
Do not be surprised if the Center channel requires 5-7 dB lower adjustment
than the left and right channel.

•DeterminetheCenterisconnectedwithcorrectpolarity.Usingapinknoise
generator, play pink noise through the Center channel together with al-
ternating Left and Right channels. If the polarity is correct on the Center
channel, you will hear the pink noise centered between the Center chan-
nel and either the Left or Right speakers. If the polarity is incorrect, you
will hear two point sources that are unfocused and located at each speaker
playing.
