Magnet Precautions
The motors used in all Wilson Benesch
speakers are built from the most powerful
magnetic material in the world, Nd.Fe.B. Do
not bring any metallic objects or sensitive
electronic, electro magnetic or mechanical
systems into close proximity of these devices,
this includes pace makers or other critical
devices. The company cannot accept
responsibility for any damage or injury
caused to any such systems as a result of
accidental exposure. Extreme care must
be taken with all Wilson Benesch Isobaric
speakers as the Tactic® motor is exposed
in these systems.
Terminals
Wilson Benesch recommends the use of 8mm
Ring or Spade Connector cable terminations.
A spanner is provided to nip up the gold
plated nuts, but be careful. Please do not over
tighten the terminals. The terminals also
allow the use of banana plugs.
Running In (70 hrs)
Like anything of good quality a period of
running in tends to see improvements in
performance. The speaker cabinet requires
time to settle in to its surroundings. Climatic
and humidity variations will take time to
adjust to, and until such adjustments have
been made the speaker will not perform at its
best. The drivers require time to bed in
physically, and relax materially. The carbon
panels actually improve in structural integrity
as they age. The quality of the sound that you
hear when you first use your Wilson Benesch
speakers, will improve quite significantly over
time, though the change will not be instantly
perceptible. Allow at least seventy hours of
running in before making any subject
judgements of the speakers performance.
Surface Finish
Carbon fibre is a unique material with unusual
physical and visual characteristics. We like to
remain truthful about the fibrous nature of
the material as opposed to concealing or
obscuring it.
The natural wood components are
manufactured using real-wood veneers. They
will darken over time and, depending on the
climatic and heating conditions will stress
relieve. This is a natural phenomenon that
may cause slight changes in the dimensions of
the wood. These are typically imperceptible.
The surface finishes applied to all Wilson
Benesch loudspeakers require no further
attention other than the occasional dusting.
Treat the driver cones with respect and they
will last a decade with relative ease.
Due to the angle of the cabinet top on the
Chimera, A.C.T. and Discovery, the
appearance of stains as a result of the
inconsiderate placing of a glass is of course
impossible. Care should be taken with the
acrylic tops on the Arc, Discovery and Curve.
A very soft lint free clot should be used to
gently wipe this surface.
With a little care the speakers will look as
good in ten years as they do today and will
probably sound even better!
Other Adjustments
Under no circumstance should you make any
adjustments to the systems parts. Any
adjustments not described above as required
by the setting up procedure will nullify all
guarantees.
Upgrades
Wilson Benesch upgrades made available
as a result of technical advances in drive
units will be made available through
Wilson Benesch dealers. Qualified persons
should only install these systems. Wilson
Benesch cannot be held responsible for
any damage to the loudspeaker or any
other related equipment such as amplifiers
if any other person undertakes this
upgrade.
Should there be any question regarding
the performance of this system you
should refer to your dealer immediately
for advice and or assistance. If in the
unlikely event that the problem cannot be
dealt with by your dealer do not under any
circumstances return the goods to Wilson
Benesch without prior agreement with the
company
