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.
For those installations where TuneTot is mounted on resonant sur faces, such as
on bookshelf or a desktop, Wilson engineered the optional TuneTot ISOBase. ISO -
Base is an interim isolation platform which is placed between the loudspeaker
and the sur face below. The ISOBase offers unprecedented levels of decoupling
and isolation between TuneTot and the structure upon which it rests. The ISOBase
is available in five different paint colors and four anodized metal finishes.
Installing ISOBase
The ISOBase is installed between TuneTot and the sur face below. The isola-
tion and time -domain spikes remain installed in TuneTot as outlined in Section 2.
The ISOBase is constructed from 6060-T6 aluminum and Wilson's proprietar y com-
posites. There are indents on the X-Material top of the ISOBase that accommodate
the spikes, allowing them to still function as an energy diodes. The indents are
asymmetrical. When placing the ISOBase, ensure that it is oriented correctly. The

ISOBase is correctly placed with the elongated indents that are fur ther from the
base's edge placed toward the front of TuneTot.
Follow the same procedures in Section 2 for placement, time -domain cor-
rection, and leveling as you would without the ISOBase.
Section 4�2—TuneTot Grille
For those listeners who prefer a grille, one is available for TuneTot. Its low
diffraction frame is individually milled from solid billets of ultra-low-resonance
X-material. Acoustically transparent fabric (available in six colors) is meticulously
hand stretched onto each composite frame.
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. For these
installations, Wilson designed an optional aluminum ring, which elegantly covers
the mounting hardware securing the woofers. The ring is individually milled and
is beautifully finished in a choice of four anodized colors.
The ring is secured via magnets embedded on its back sur face. To install,
line up the magnets with the corresponding bolts in the woofer, and carefully
place the ring in the recess until it is tight against the woofer frame.
