Wilson Audio has conducted many hours of research on the impact of mate-
rials on speaker enclosure performance. Through this effort, Wilson pioneered the
use of non-resonant materials, first with the use of mineral filled acrylic in the
WATT, and continuing with the further development of proprietary materials for
X-1 Grand SLAMM and MAXX. Even the best materials are not suited to all
aspects of enclosure construction. Therefore, like all Wilson loudspeakers, the
WATCH Center is constructed of several exotic materials chosen for their specific
performance attributes relevant to different portions of the enclosure.
The Center is constructed using non-resonant, high-density, composites
which are then highly-cross braced to further reduce cabinet resonance. Each of
these composites meets and exceeds the highest of ANSI test standards for its use,
while offering very tight tolerances, high hardness, uniform density, and dimen-
sional stability. In the most critical areas of the enclosure, the WATCH Center
uses our proprietary “X” material, a very dense, strong composite developed for the
X-1 Grand SLAMM. The high hardness of these composites offers excellent
acoustical properties.
