Section 1.1 –Sasha DAW Crate Content

Please take the time before you attempt to setup up your Sasha DAW to

review the contents of your Sasha DAW tool and spike kit. Set these items in an

accessible area as you will need them during the setup process. See the two graph-

ics below:

Section 1.2—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 Sasha DAW within your room is critical in order to extract its formidable

performance envelope. When carefully followed, the WASP has proven to be the

10 Sasha DAW Installation and Care Guide Se c t i o n 1 . 2 — WA S P 11

Wilson Audio Specialties

Authentic Excellence™

most effective method for setting up Wilson loudspeakers. Your authorized Wil-

son 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 included 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 loudspeakers. 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 anoth-

er 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 precisely 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 progres-

sion 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 be-

comes 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 consid-

erations 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 the previous 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

16 Sasha DAW Installation and Care Guide

Authentic Excellence™

a deterioration 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 satisfaction is always achieved through proper

balance.

To make correct in-home set up of the Sasha DAW possible without

test equipment, Wilson Audio has measured the correct geometric time

domain alignment for different distance/ear height combinations. See the

next section for details. By measuring the distance from the bottom-front

baffle of your speaker to your ear when seated in the listening position,

as well as height of the listener’s ear measured from the floor, you will be

able to align the system for your listening position.

The Sasha DAW is designed for maximum phase coherence and

pulse replication accuracy when each speaker is aimed directly at the

listener. Thus, Sasha DAW should be “toed in.” In other words, the lis-

tener, when seated in the listening position looking forward with his/her

head in a rested position, should just barely see the surface of the inner

side of each Sasha DAW. Toeing in the speakers provides meaningful

improvements in resolution of low-level detail in the midrange as well as

appreciable improvements in soundstaging performance.
