Section 3�5—Removing the Protective Film
To protect the finish of the SabrinaX during final manufacture, shipment,
and setup in your listening room, we have applied a removable layer of protec-
tive film over the finish. We recommend that this film be left in place until the
speakers are in their final location in your listening room. Once you have deter-
mined their final position, remove the film by following this procedure:
1.
Ensure the speaker sur face is room temperature before remov-
ing the protective film. Removing the protective film when the
speaker sur face is cold can damage the paint sur face.
2.
Slowly remove the film from the top down, large sections at a
time, gently pulling the film downward and outward. Tearing
the film aggressively can damage the paint.
3.
Take care in removing the protective film near edges and cor-
ners to prevent paint damage in these areas.
4.
The protective film should not be left on the painted sur face
for extended periods of time nor exposed to heat sources and
direct sunlight.
Section 3�6—Resistors
By removing the X-material cover on the bottom of your SabrinaXs, you
may gain access to the resistor strip. These resistors ser ve several functions.

Note: Only Wilson Audio replacement resistors should be used in your
SabrinaXs. Changing the value or brand of resistor will have a deleterious
af fec t on the sonic per formance of your loudspeakers and will void your
Wilson Audio Warrant y.
Midrange and Tweeter Resistors
The Midrange Level, which consists of two 4.2 ohm soldered resistors in
parallel, and Tweeter Level, which consists of two 7.9 ohm resistors soldered in
parallel. Resistors provide precise level matching for the midrange and tweeter
drivers correspondingly. The resistors also act as ultra high quality fuses which
open before a driver can be damaged by excess power.
Additionally, these resistors can be used to tailor the output of the corre -
sponding driver to overcome tonal balance issues that result from room acous-
tics.
Woofer Damping (Q) Resistor
The Woofer Damping (Q) resistor affects the way the SabrinaX's woof-
ers couple to the amplifier. These resistors are pre -installed and should not be
changed.
Replacing an Open Resistor
The resistors are designed such that they will open before damage occurs
to the corresponding driver. In the event a resistor is damaged, use the follow-
