To the cognoscenti of British high-performance audio, the Wilson Benesch marque is recognised as one of the world’s leading loudspeaker design and manufacturing companies. We are honoured that you have chosen a Precision Series loudspeaker for your audio system. Our team of engineers, craftspeople and designers have devoted every effort to manufacture this series of loudspeakers and we are extremely proud to present it to you.
1.1 Unpacking: Important points before setup On the outside of the shipping carton you will find a QR code which will automatically load an unpacking video on your device. It is possible to unpack the Precision Series products alone, but we recommend at least 2-people work together to avoid damage to the product or personal injury. Please observe normal procedures for lifting and correct posture when handling the speakers.
1.3 What’s in the Box Your Precision Series loudspeakers are supplied with carefully designed packaging that allow for the loudspeaker to be installed with a minimal amount of lifting. Please use the QR code on the exterior of the shipping carton which shows an instructional video for unpacking the Precision Series products.
‘standing waves’ are created. The standing waves in your room will distort the frequency response of your system sympathetically boosting or cancelling certain frequencies. If a certain standing wave frequency is acoustically isolated from its modal neighbours its effect is more likely to be audible and problematic. This can compromise the accuracy of any loudspeaker.

There is no one simple set of rules for speaker placement that will fit for every scenario within which a Precision Series loudspeaker is installed. It is for this reason that no minimum or maximum parameters are stated for the positioning of each product. The listening position should also be evaluated in the same manner.
3.0 Terminals Wilson Benesch recommends the use of 8mm ring or spade connector cable terminations. A spanner is provided to tighten up the rhodium plated nuts. A light pinch of the end of the supplied spanner is more than sufficient to tighten the nuts. Please be careful to not over tighten the terminals as this could result in damage to the terminal plate or snapping of the terminal.
4.1 Running-in (168-hours) The quality of the sound that you hear when you first use your Precision Series loudspeakers will improve significantly over time. However, the biggest changes to the performance of your Precision Series loudspeaker will take place during what is commonly known as the running-in or burn-in period. Wilson Benesch recommends at least one hundred and six-eight hours of running in before making any subjective judgements of the speaker’s performance, but the loudspeaker will continue to improve...

The company cannot accept responsibility for any damage or injury caused to any such systems as a result of accidental exposure.
