Instruction Manual

slight nasal sound in the voice. If you notice this in the sound, you should raise the front

spikes of your Center channel. This can be done by removing the front spikes and replacing

them with the spike assembly as shown in Figure 19 below. Do as follows:

• Screw the spike and nut into the diode.

• Screw the 3/4” setscrew into the front spike holes in the stand.

• Thread the spike assembly onto the set screw.

Resetting the Propagation Delay correction (PDC)

Once the final rotation has been determined, you will need to reset the PDC. If you

have raised the speaker by adding a diode or 1/2” spacer, read the PDC from the table that

matches your current spike configuration in Section 10.

Every system has a unique time and phase character, which can affect the PDC ac-

curacy. Because of this, you may find that sliding the tweeter forward or backwards one or

two posi increases the clarity and correctness of your Center channel. If you like, experi-

ment with the tweeter position and lock it in position when you find the location you feel

to be most accurate.

Integrating the WATCH Surround Channels

• Follow the processor instructions on level adjustment. Adjust the level on

the Surround channels so they match in level with the front channels.

• Play a DVD that has a scene with something moving around the room. Lis-

ten for the correct spacial imaging. A correctly adjusted Surround channel

will have good imaging characteristics, will be seamlessly blended, and

should be just as transparent as the front channels.

• Adjust the rotation of the Surround channel until you find the best integra-

tion.

Note: The Surround channel rotates on the upper two spikes. Examine carefully this ro-

tation and the mounting bracket before trying to adjust the angle of rotation. Be careful

when rotating the speaker as it is very heavy and could fall off of the mounting bracket.

Integrating the Passive WATCH Dog

The Passive WATCH Dog will perform well in almost any location in the room. In gen-

eral, the closer you place the subwoofer to a wall or corner, the greater the augmentation

of the bass. However, the increase in bass comes at a cost of perceived speed, dynamics

and bass clarity. We recommend that you experiment with the placement of the subwoofer

to find a balance of the above mentioned items with which you are satisfied. For complete

information on integrating a Wilson Audio WATCH Dog, please refer to your subwoofer

owner’s manual.
