shorter spikes in the back, allowing the stand and speaker to be rotated up
toward the listener.
Each of these options allow for some fine-tuning of the Mezzo placement. A poor
placement of the Mezzo will hamper its integration with the rest of the system. As a gen-
eral rule, the distance from the main Lef t and Right channels, as well as the Mezzo (as
measured from the tweeters) should be equal in their relationship to the listening position.
This maintains the time coherence of the three front loudspeakers. Ultimately, the Mezzo
phase delay correction will be made via the sliding tweeter module.
Wilson recommends that the Mezzo be positioned as centrally between the Lef t and
Right speakers as possible. Using the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure, experiment with the
fore to af t placement of the Mezzo. This process will help you find the location that of fers
the smoothest lef t, right, and center channel integration.
Surround Channel
Wilson Audio has done everything possible to eliminate the boundary interactions
caused by mounting a speaker onto the wall. The mounting bracket allows for significant
improvements in detail, speed, and clarity. The Surround channels will per form well in al-
most any location in which they are placed. The mounting bracket and the careful design
of the Surround channel have eliminated most of the sonic problems encountered when
placing a standard speaker too close to a boundary. Nevertheless, we have performed ex-
tensive testing on the Surround channel and found that significant improvement on speaker
linearity and integration can be achieved by careful selection of the Surround channel
mounting location.
We realize that the location of the Surround channel is generally set by the archi-
tecture of the room. However, if you have some flexibility in locating your Surrounds, we
suggest that you use WASP to find the Zone of Neutrality. Be sure to listen for room modes
