WATCH Dog and Thor's Hammer Passive Subwoofers
Because the WATCH Dog and Thor's Hammer's frequency range is limited to the sub-
frequency bass range, its placement requirements are slightly dif ferent than for a full fre-
quency speaker. The ideal position of the WATCH Dog passive subwoofer is somewhat de-
pendent on its primary use. In home theaters, where the Wilson subwoofers is used as the
Low Frequency Ef fects (LFE) channel, it may be located in a variety of positions, depending
on architectural considerations. In general, the lower frequency range will be reinforced
by room boundaries and corners. Since most of the information contained in the LFE chan-
nel is in the sub-frequency bass range, with lit tle information in the mid and upper bass,
there are some advantages to placing wither Wilson subwoofer near the room boundaries
or near a corner. Some care is needed to avoid introducing upper-bass colorations caused
by corner placement. While surround processors provide the low frequency equalized
signal for the LFE Channel, it has been our experience that in some systems it is desirable
to use the Low Pass crossover (via the Wilson Controller) to additionally limit upper bass
range. This is particularly important and useful when the WATCH Dog or Thor's Hammer
is placed in the corner. Since all Wilson Audio Speakers are phase and time coherent, it is
very important to time align any Wilson subwoofer in the room using the Phase Control on
the Controller (see Controller owner's manual).
