Wilson Audio Center Speakers

Watch Center CS3
A Totally Involving Theater Experience 

For most people, the intuitive starting point would be picture size and video quality. The rapidly evolving technologies of home video reproduction offer today’s home theater owner a degree of visual realism unattainable even a few years ago. Unfortunately, the human penchant for the visual (when was the last time anyone asked you: “Heard any good movies lately?”) perpetuates system choices that are biased toward video. It’s all too common for the audio portion of the typical home theater to come up short. Some interesting trials validate a counter-intuitive thesis: When viewers were asked to rate the impact of two different home theater systems—one with a larger, better quality screen, but with a middling sound system, and the second with a smaller screen but a state-of-the-art audio system—they invariably chose the system with better sound as the more emotionally involving. The WATCH ® system (Wilson Audio Theater Comes Home) was born out of this recognition. Bringing home the emotional impact of live music through two-channel reproduction has been the organizing passion of Wilson Audio since its inception in 1974. Applying the same focus and expertise to multi-channel theater systems was simply the natural extension of that passion. With this generation of WATCH components, watching movies at home will never be the same.

WATCH® CENTER Convergent Synergy

The real magic of any loudspeaker happens in the midrange. Utilizing two of the legendary Wilson midrange drivers from Sophia Series 3, the third generation Wilson Center Channel offers levels of midrange dynamic speed and alacrity that are hallmarks of Wilson’s floor-standing loudspeakers.

Wilson center-channel loudspeakers have always been modular and adjustable in the time domain. The adjustable tweeter module facilitates precise time alignment between the center channel and the front stereo speakers, creating a completely coherent and three-dimensional sound field. Now, as a result of enhancements to the tweeter-module mounting hardware, these adjustments are achieved with greater precision and ease.

The WATCH Convergent Synergy’s front baffle is angled upward, directing the sound more correctly at the listener’s ears, especially important when the Center is mounted low, beneath a screen. The WATCH Convergent Synergy utilizes X-Material in both tweeter and woofer enclosures. S-Material, Wilson’s latest composite first used in the Sasha, now finds its place in the WATCH Convergent Synergy’s mid-woofer baffle. The new cabinet minimizes enclosure resonances and enhances the Center’s settling characteristics, allowing for better micro dynamics and deeper shades of black.

The WATCH Center Series 3 was designed from the ground up as a center channel. It is not merely a standard speaker that was tipped onto its side. The Center channel was voiced and optimized to truly represent dialogue for movies as well as music and vocals when used in a multi-channel audio setup.

Mezzo with CS Tweeter
Mezzo® Convergent Synergy

Like all WATCH products, Mezzo was developed by the Wilson Special Applications Engineering team. Wilson has a long and storied history of developing products for specific applications. The first product to fit that definition was the Wilson Audio Tiny Tot, or WATT. Long before it became the mid and upper range part of the venerable WATT/Puppy combo (the best selling over $10k loudspeaker in audio history), it was originally designed by Dave Wilson as a portable location monitor. The WATT played a significant role in the series of audiophile-quality records Dave engineered in the mid-70s to late-90s.

The Mezzo was also formulated and engineered with a specific function in mind: A loudspeaker endowed with a nearly identical sonic signature to Wilson’s Sasha DAW, but in a low-profile form. When used as a center channel, Mezzo seamlessly matches the acoustic signature of Wilson’s remarkable Sasha. Indeed, the Mezzo features a driver complement nearly identical to the Sasha’s. Whether it is used as a center channel in conjunction with Sasha, Alexia, or Alexx, Mezzo matches the tonal beauty, dynamic speed, tonal sophistication, resolution, and sense of “thereness” that are hallmarks of Sasha DAW.
