best done by using the round brush at tachment on a vacuum cleaner hose. Gently vacuum
the front surface of the grill. Be careful not to apply too much pressure. Do not use a hard
plastic at tachment against the grill. The grill cloth is stretched tightly over the grill frame.
Too much pressure or use of a hard plastic at tachment could cause the grill material to tear,
especially in the corners.
Of ten Wilson speaker owners desire to change the look of their listening room by
changing the color of their speaker grills. In addition to basic black, Wilson Audio of fers
a variety of grill colors to match most WilsonGloss finishes. Contact your local dealer for
grill cloth samples or to order replacement grills for your Mezzo Convergent Synergy.
Break-in Period
All audio equipment will sound best af ter its components have been broken in for
some period of use. Wilson Audio breaks in all woofers and mid-range drivers for approxi-
mately 12 hours. All drivers are then tested, calibrated, and matched for their acoustical
properties. In your listening room, expect 25 to 50 percent of break-in to be complete af ter
two hours of playing music at normal listening levels. Ninety percent of break-in is com-
plete af ter 24 hours of playing. Playing a CD on repeat overnight can accomplish this task
quickly. Wilson Audio recommends chamber music for this task.
Section 6.2—Enclosure Technology
Materials
Wilson Audio has conducted many hours of research on the impact of materials on
speaker enclosure performance. Through this ef fort, Wilson pioneered the use of non-
resonant materials, first with the use of mineral-filled acrylic in the WAT T and continuing
with the further development of proprietary materials for X-1 Grand SLAMM and WATCH
Dog. Even the best materials are not suited to all aspects of enclosure construction. There-
fore, like all Wilson loudspeakers, the Mezzo Convergent Synergy is constructed of several

exotic materials chosen for their specific performance at tributes relevant to dif ferent por-
tions of the enclosure.
The Mezzo Convergent Synergy is constructed using non-resonant, high-density, com-
posites which are then cross-braced to further reduce cabinet resonance. Each of these
composites meets and exceeds the highest of ANSI test standards for its use, while of fering
very tight tolerances, high hardness, uniform density, and dimensional stability.
Adhesive
Wilson Audio has conducted exhaustive research into the best adhesives to perma-
nently bond our speaker enclosures. This is of ten an overlooked element crucial to the
proper performance of a loudspeaker. Correct modulus of elasticity, coef ficient of thermal
expansion, and natural frequency response are just a few of the important elements of ad-
hesives.
A highly cross-linked, thermoset adhesive is used for the construction of the enclo-
sure. It was also chosen for its excellent bond strength, solvent resistance, hardness, and
optimum vibrational characteristics.
Section 6.3—Depth of Design
Mezzo Convergent Synergy's compellingly authentic performance and lasting value
are achieved through careful implementation of cut ting edge design and engineering and
then executed using the highest performance materials. Wilson Audio's use of proprietary
enclosure materials and adhesives are employed to achieve truly exceptional speaker cabi-
net performance. The use of these materials in the Mezzo Convergent Synergy results in
an enclosure that is inherently inert and non-resonant. All of these structural aspects are
combined, allowing Wilson Audio to deliver a product that maintains the strictest struc-
tural tolerances, durability, and reliability. This also means that the Mezzo Convergent Syn-
ergy will have consistent, repeatable performance, unaf fected by the climatic conditions,
