Summary of Contents for Wilson Benesch A.C.T. One

  • Page 2 The Act One All invention is simply an extension of man In the case of so many Wilson Benesch products the organic forms are a clear manifestation of this philosophy. As the key structures are based upon carbon, the links between invention and man become not only aesthetic, but also material based as, of course, we are all carbon based.
  • Page 3 Spikes The Spikes that have been specifically designed for the A.C.T. One Loudspeakers should be treated with caution. Turned from tool steel which is very hard they are very sharp and can easily inflict a severe wound to the unsuspecting and careless. When setting up the speakers it is a good idea to leave the spikes off the speakers until the correct position for their operation has been found.

Verify your predictions using the Wilson Benesch test CD which has a number of fixed frequency tests and swept frequencies. Use these to verify and back up your prdictions.
  • Page 8 Loudspeaker positioning. There is no objective criteria that can be used to state precisely where loudspeakers should be positioned. Should any individual or company suggest that there is, they should be regarded as special people and treated with a great deal of caution. In the global scenario our loudspeakers are driven by unique systems that are selected by the owner because of particular virtues.
