Wilson Audio Mezzo Convergent Synergy - Manual (Page 9)

Section 1.1—Mezzo Convergent Synergy Introduction
From all of us at Wilson Audio Specialties—thank you for purchasing the Mezzo Con-
vergent Synergy loudspeaker. The information contained within the pages of this manual
will inform and instruct on the proper assembly, set up, and long term care of your Mezzo
Convergent Synergy.
The original Mezzo™ was formulated and engineered with a specific function in
mind: a loudspeaker that possessed the sonic signature of the Wilson’s Sasha W/P®, but in
a low-profile package. When used as a center channel, the Mezzo seamlessly matched the
acoustic signature of Wilson’s original Sasha. Indeed, the Mezzo featured a driver comple-

from the legendary Alexandria XLF®. The Mezzo also provided an unprecedented level of
musical accuracy in music systems and home theaters where its low-profile form solved ar-
chitectural challenges, such as in those installations where a tall loudspeaker would block
wall-to-wall cinema screens, the view afforded by large windows, or wall-hanging artwork.

With the advent of Wilson’s Convergent Synergy tweeter in the Alexandria XLF, the
Alexia, and now the Sasha W/P Series-2, it quickly became apparent that a Convergent
Synergy tweeter version of the Mezzo was needed.
Among the technical innovations of the Mezzo Convergent Synergy:
The Mezzo Convergent Synergy sources its midrange driver directly from the ground-
breaking Wilson Alexandria XLF. With this midrange driver, Dave and the Wilson engineers
set out to redefine what was possible in cone midrange technology—and to capture cer-
tain qualities of live music heretofore not achieved in any other design. Their efforts were
rewarded. The result was the Wilson midrange driver. One has to hear the clarity, tonal
