Wilson Audio Mezzo Convergent Synergy - Manual (Page 34)

• Mounted on a stand with longer spikes in the front of the stand and 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 Convergent Synergy
placement. A poor placement of the Mezzo Convergent Synergy will hamper its integration
with the rest of the system. As a general rule, the distance from the main Left and Right
channels, as well as the Mezzo Convergent Synergy (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 Convergent Synergy phase delay
correction will be made via the sliding tweeter module.
Wilson recommends that the Mezzo Convergent Synergy be positioned as centrally
between the Left and Right speakers as possible. Using the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure,
experiment with the fore to aft placement of the Mezzo Convergent Synergy. This process
will help you find the location that offers the smoothest left, 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 perform 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-
