achieved through proper balance.
Center Channel
After determining the general area for the Left and Right Channels, determine
the best place for your Center channel. The following center channel configurations
are possible:
• On the floor with the speaker angled up towards the listener.
• Mounted on a stand with no upward rotation.
• 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.
• Mounted above the TV on a custom made bracket.
• Mounted upside down on the ceiling, angled down towards the
listener.
With the exception of Center channels mounted on the ceiling, each of these
options allow for some fine tuning of the Center channel placement. If you are mount-
ing the Center channel on the ceiling, be sure to choose the location carefully as you
will not be able to easily adjust it once it is mounted. A poor placement of the Center
channel 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 Center channel (as
measured from the tweeters) should be equal in their relationship to the listening posi-
tion. This maintains the time coherence of the three front loudspeakers. Ultimately, the
Center channel phase delay correction will be made via the sliding tweeter module.
Wilson recommends that the Center channel 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 center channel. This process will help
you find the location that offers the smoothest left, right and center channel integra-
tion. More information on this process is included in Section 4.0.
