Section 1.1—WASP

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

www.wilsonaudio.com/wasp.The proper positioning of your new Alexia V 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 set up

properly.

Viewing the video is the best way to learn how to properly employ WASP, but we have also includ-

ed an outline of it here.

Zone of Neutrality: Left and Right Channel

The “Zone of Neutrality” is an area in your room where the speakers will sound most natural. This

location is where the speakers interact the least with adjacent room boundaries. It is important to have

a clear working space while determining the Zone of Neutrality.

The following is a simple method to locate the Zone of Neutrality within your listening

environment:

1. Stand against the wall BEHIND the location where you intend to position your loud-

speakers. Speaking in a moderately loud voice and at a constant volume, project your

voice out into the room. Your voice will have an overly heavy, “chesty” quality because

of your proximity to the rear wall.

2. While speaking, slowly move out into the room, progressing in a direction parallel to

the sidewall. It is helpful to have another listener seated in the listening position to

assist you during this process. Listen to how your voice “frees up” from the added bass

energy imparted by the rear wall boundary. Also notice that your voice is quite spatially diffuse (to

your assistant, your voice will sound spatially large and difficult to localize) as you begin to ease away

from the rear wall.

3. At some point during your progression forward into the room, you will observe a sonic transition in

your voice; it will sound more tonally correct and less spatially diffuse (your assistant can now pre-

cisely localize the exact origin of your voice). When you hear this transition, you have entered the

inner edge of the Zone of Neutrality. Place a piece of tape on the floor to mark this location. Although

it will vary from room to room, in most rooms the zone begins between two and a half to three feet

from the rear wall.

4. Continue to walk slowly away from the rear wall. After some distance, usually one to two feet past the

first piece of tape, you will begin to hear your voice lose focus and appear to reflect (echo) in front of

you. This is caused by the return of the room’s boundary contribution; your voice is now interacting

with the opposite wall. At the point where you begin to hear the reflected sound of your voice, you

have reached the outer edge of the Zone of Neutrality. Place a piece of tape on the floor and mark

this location. The distance between the “inner” and “outer” edge tape marks is usually between eight

inches (for small, interactive rooms) and three feet (for large, more neutral rooms).

5. Now position yourself against the side wall perpendicular to the intended speaker location. Stand

between the two tape marks. Using the same procedure as above, begin moving into the room toward

the opposite sidewall, progressing between the two pieces of tape. As above, listen for the point in

the room where your voice transitions from bass-heavy and diffuse to neutral. Mark this point with

tape. Continue your progression until there is an obvious interaction with the opposite wall in front

of you and mark this point with tape. The four pieces of tape now form a rectangle that establishes

the Zone of Neutrality for the loudspeaker to be installed on that side of the room. Using the four

marks as your guide, tape an outline to define the boundaries of the rectangle.

6. Repeat this process for each speaker location individually. These are your Zones of Neutrality, one for

each channel.

Theoretically, the Zone of Neutrality for any room runs like a path, parallel to the walls all around the room.

Adjacent to very large windows and open doors, the outer edge of the Zone of Neutrality moves closer to the wall and

becomes wider. If you were to extend the inner and outer boundaries of the Zone for the sidewalls and the front wall

(behind the speakers), they would intersect.

Speaker Placement Versus Listening Position

The location of your listening position is as important as the careful setup of your Wilson Audio loudspeakers.

The listening position should ideally be no more than 1.1 to 1.25 times the distance between the tweeters on each

speaker. Therefore, in a long, rectangular room of 12’ x 18’, if the speaker tweeters are going to be 9’ apart, you should

be sitting 9’11’’ to 11’3’’ from the speaker. This would be more than halfway down the long axis of the room.

Many people place the speakers on one end and sit at the other end of the room. This approach will not yield

the finest sound. Carefully consider your listening position. Our experience has shown that any listening position that

places your head closer than 14” from a wall will diminish the sonic results of your listening due to the deleterious

effects of boundary interaction.

Speaker Orientation

Speaker placement and orientation are two of the most important considerations in obtaining superior sound.

The first thing you need to do is eliminate the sidewalls as a sonic influence in your system. Speakers placed too

close to the sidewalls will suffer from a strong primary reflection. This can cause out-of-phase cancellations, or comb

filtering, which will cancel some frequencies and change the tonal balance of the music. Adhering to the

Wilson Audio Setup Procedure outlined in this section is the best method with which to position your

loudspeakers.

A very important aspect of speaker placement is how far from the back wall to place the speakers.

The closer a loudspeaker is to the back wall, the more pronounced the low bass energy and centering of

the image will be. However, this comes at a definite reduction in stage size and bloom as well as a dete-

rioration of upper bass quality. You must find the proper balance of these two factors, but remember, if

you are partial to bass response or air and bloom, do not overcompensate your adjustments to maximize

these effects. Overcompensated systems are sometimes pleasing in the short-term, but long-term satis-

faction is always achieved through proper balance.

To make correct in-home set up of the Alexia V possible without test equipment, Wilson Audio has

measured the correct geometric time domain alignment for different distance/ear height combinations. By

measuring the distance from the speaker to your ear (measured on the floor from the bottom/front of

the woofer to directly below the ear canal) when seated in the listening position, as well as height of

the listener’s ear (the distance from the floor to the center of the ear canal), you will be able to align the

system for your listening position.
