Adhesives
The engineers at Wilson have performed extensive research on the adhesives
used to construct our enclosures. Other speaker manufacturers often overlook this
critical variable. Wilson has found that the adhesives used to construct enclosures are
crucial to the proper performance and longevity of a loudspeaker. Some of the impor-
tant factors considered when selecting an adhesive are: correct modulus of elasticity,
coefficient of thermal expansion, and natural frequency response.
A highly cross-linked, thermoset adhesive is used for the construction of the
enclosure. It was also chosen for its excellent bond strength, solvent resistance, hard-
ness, and optimum vibrational characteristics.
Depth of Design
The combination of experience, engineering depth, and precision manufacturing
using the best in composite materials and adhesive technology, provided to us by the
leaders in their industries, allows us to design enclosures with unmatched perform-
ance. The WATCH system has been designed to eliminate vibration and cabinet signa-
ture while maintaining an internal acoustical integrity that is simply without equal.

WATCH Center
Specifically designed to excel at center
channel functions, WATCH Center is extremely
dynamic with high sensitivity and robost power
handling. Unlike most center channels, it pro-
vides listeners not only with optimal on-axis
response, but also smooth, linear, off-axis per-
formance. This is, in part, a result of Wilson
PDC™ (Phase Delay Correction) technology first
developed for the WAMM® and X-1 Grand
