Section 2�3—Correcting for the Time Domain
Like all ultra-high per formance loudspeakers, TuneTot will sound far more
lifelike if the time domain is properly corrected. In a compact two-way design
such as TuneTot, this can be effectively achieved by angling the baffle in correct
relationship to the listener. When the time domain is properly adjusted in a Tune -
Tot installation, ever y aspect of sound reproduction is improved—including tonal
accuracy and beauty, transient speed, soundstage and imaging, and a sense of
dynamic contrast.
Time Domain Setup
Wilson engineers have devised a simple and effective method for achiev-
ing the correct time domain for each installation with TuneTot. The correct baffle
angle in relationship to the viewer is achieved visually. In the case of TuneTot,
baffle angle and correct time domain are interchangeable. 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.
This is accomplished via the following process:
1.
Make sure that your TuneTots are properly positioned with cor-
rect "toe" as outlined in the previous section.
2.
The listener should be in the listening position, his/her posture

relaxed as he/she would be when listening to TuneTot.
3.
View the reveal of the top plane of TuneTot 's cabinet.
4.
If the there is too little reveal and the Adjustable spikes are
installed in the front receptacles, then decrease the length of
the spikes.
5.
If the there is too little reveal, and the Adjustable spikes are
installed in the rear receptacles, then decrease the length of
the spikes.
Too much reveal
6.
If there is too much reveal and the Adjustable spikes are in-
stalled in the front receptacles, then increase the length of the
spikes.
7.
If there is too much reveal and the Adjustable spike are in-
stalled in the rear receptacles, then decrease the length of the
spikes.
8.
Repeat this process until there is an appropriate amount of
reveal for each speaker. (See illustrations to the left.)
Section 2�4—Leveling TuneTot
Correct reveal
1.
Check the solidity of TuneTot on its spikes. If one of the Adjust-
able spikes is out of level, TuneTot will rock.
