Included with your WATT/Puppy System 7 are two sets of Puppy Paws, which
provide acoustical isolation as well as optimal height placement for your speakers.
There are three ways of assembling the paws (without spacers, or with one or two spac-
ers), and your choice will depend on your listening room and personal tastes. Wilson
generally recommends no spacers, for simplicity and rigidity. However, the addition of
spacers changes the driver-to-floor dimension, and can sometimes be used to reduce an
objectionable upper-bass/lower mid-range standing wave.

:
1. Insert either the short or the long threaded bolt, depending on the desired height (see
figure 18 next page) as far as it will go into the hole in the bottom of the Puppy.
Make sure the Allen key end is accessable.
2. If desired, place the corresponding number of spacer discs over the bolt.
3. Screw the acoustical diode onto the bolt until it butts up against the spacers or Puppy
bottom.
4. Screw the spike (with nut) all the way in until it just touches the bolt. Do not tighten
the nut at this time.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the other three paws.
6. To provide the proper mechanical coupling between the Puppy Paws and the floor,
make sure that the Puppy is level by unscrewing individual spikes as needed until
even contact is achieved by all four Paws. A bubble level is often helpful in this
procedure.
7. Once all adjustments have been made, tighten the nut on the spike to the diode with
the 9 /
16
” wrench provided. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! “Snug” is tight enough.
