Section 3.1—The Wilson Audio Setup Procedure
You are surely excited about set ting up your Mezzo and doing some listening, but
before you begin, we would like to discuss some of the important room acoustical informa-
tion that will help you set up your loudspeakers properly.

For Mezzo's size and single-module configuration, it is unmatched in its ability to re-

room acoustics and their interactions with loudspeakers. While we will also outline some
detailed suggestions on the setup of the Mezzo, we strongly suggest that you have your lo-

natural. This location is where the speakers interact the least with adjacent room boundar-

The following is a simple method to locate the Zone of Neutrality within your listen-
ing environment:

your loudspeakers. Speaking in a moderately loud voice and at a constant
