Section 1.1—Wilson Audio Setup Procedure

An instructional video outlining the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure (WASP) can be found here:

www.wilsonaudio.com/wasp The proper positioning of your new loudspeakers within your room

is critical in order to extract its formidable performance envelope. When carefully followed, the

WASP has proven to be the most effective method for setting up Wilson Audio Loudspeakers. Your

authorized Wilson Audio Dealer is trained in this process, and is the best resource for you to ensure your

Loudspeakers are setup properly.

Viewing the video is the best way to learn how to properly employ WASP for floorstanding

Loudspeakers. We have included additional instructions in this Manual for the unique nature of Alida

CSC, as a boundary-mounted Loudspeaker. WASP works equally well for front Left and Right channels,

(which are set up first) and for additional speakers such as a Center channel, boundary-mounted

channels, and/or Subwoofers.

You will need the following items:

• Tape Measure

• Known Listening Position

• Masking Tape & Pen

Zone of Neutrality: Alida CSC

The Zone of Neutrality is the Speaker location where your Loudspeakers sound most natural and

interact the least with the room. We realize that the location of your boundary-mounted Speakers is not

very flexible. Nevertheless, careful selection of the mounting location will improve the performance of

the Speakers. If you are able to be flexible as to the location of the Alida CSC on the wall, you will be

able to more fully optimize their sound. To find the best Zone for placement, do as follows:

1. Carefully stand on a ladder or a chair against the wall in the general location where

you would like to place the Alida CSC. Position your head at the highest point possible

for mounting the Alida CSC. Speaking in a moderately loud voice, and at a constant

volume, project your voice out into the room. By moving slowly down the rungs of the

ladder you move your voice vertically.

2. As you move down the wall, (you will need to have another listener seated in the lis-

tening position to aid you in the evaluation), listen to how the voice “frees up” from

the added bass energy imparted by the ceiling boundary.

3. When you hear the voice “free up” from this artifact, place a piece of tape on the wall

to mark this location.

4. As you move lower, you will hear where your voice begins to interact with the floor.

Put a piece of tape in this location. You have a good vertical range in which to opti-

mize the best possible placement of your Alida CSCs.

5. Repeat the procedure while moving away from the side walls. Again, listen for your

voice to lose the added bass energy from the wall behind you and continue until there

is an obvious interaction with the opposite wall in front of you. Complete each speaker

location individually.

What you should have at the end of this procedure are two rectangles on the wall (usually nearer

the corners), which is your Zone of Neutrality for each channel. By installing your Alida CSCs in this gen-

eral area, you ensure getting the most performance and musical satisfaction.

Note: The more reflective or “live” sounding the room is, the more difficult it will be to detect the

changes in your voice. Thus, you may have to repeat this process until the Zones have been deter-

mined.
