    Note: In the area you intend to install your TuneTots, clear out t wo spaces, one for your lef t and one for your right channel. Place the ODD numbered TuneTot in the LEFT channel sec tion and the EVEN in the RIGHT channel sec tion.

  • Page 9: Section 1�2-Tunetot Toolkit

    Please take the time before you attempt to setup up your TuneTot to review the contents of your TuneTot tool and spike kit. Set these items in an accessible area as you will need them during the setup process. See the graphic on the next page.

    Section 2�1—Assembling TuneTot Installing the Spikes TuneTot uses two types of spikes, the AA-sized fixed spike, and the Adjust- able spike, which incorporates a locking nut. These two sets of spikes together form the time -domain and leveling system for TuneTot.

    Note: Please note that TuneTot ’s spikes are somewhat sharp. Wilson sup - plies spike pads that optionally sit beneath the spike if there is a need to Right Channel with correct “toe.”...

    Wilson’s engineers de - termined that if there is a correct amount of “reveal” on the top plane of TuneTot ’s cabinet, as seen from the listening position, it is a reliable indicator for correct time domain in relationship of TuneTot to the listener.

    (See illustrations to the left.) Section 2�4—Leveling TuneTot Correct reveal Check the solidity of TuneTot on its spikes. If one of the Adjust- able spikes is out of level, TuneTot will rock. W i l s o n...

    TuneTot. Check the level. You may rotate the spike tips in place by hand. Lengthen the appropriate spike or spikes on the lower side until TuneTot is level. You may rotate the spike tips in place by hand.

    Wilson’s engineers have provided a solution for these types of installations. TuneTot is shipped with two por t plugs. These are located in TuneTot ’s toolbox. If the bass sounds integrated with the rest of the tonal spectrum, features dynamic authority and transient speed in the midbass, there is little need to ex- periment with the por t plug.

    Section 2�8—Resistors By removing the aluminum back cover on the rear of TuneTot, you gain access to the resistors. The back cover is secured by Allen bolts. Use the supplied Allen wrench to remove the four bolts.
  • Page 20 In rare instances for some installations, it is desirable to alter the level of the tweeter to overcome tonal balance problems. There is a resistor fine -tuning kit available from Wilson Audio’s on-line store should they be needed. Note: Only Wilson Audio replacement resistors should be used in your TuneTots.

    Section 4�1—TuneTot ISOBase™ The Special Applications Engineering™ team spent months researching the interac tions between TuneTot and the sur face upon which it is installed. I t quick ly became clear that assumptions surrounding environmental resonance control needed to be examined. For these installations, the challenges present- ed are ver y different from what exists for a typical floor-standing loudspeaker.

    The grille is installed by aligning the four pins to the four receptacles on the front baffle of TuneTot and gently pushing in until it is secure against the front baffle. Section 4�3—TuneTot Driver Ring Many Wilson owners prefer to listen without the grille attached.
