The first wall mount speaker from Wilson Audio was originally designed as part of the WATCH (Wilson Audio Theater Comes Home) system with the sole objective of reproducing the surround sound effects in a 5.1 channel audiovisual installation, although at the same time offering the Tonal accuracy and dynamic contrast necessary to complement the brand's floor-standing speakers used in the main channels. However, the exceptional performance of this refined compact monitor led a growing number of consumers to start using it in stereo equipment located in “sensitive” spaces for architectural reasons, a reality whose consequence It was the original Alida.
The advent of multidimensional or 3D surround sound, with its specific demands in terms of speaker positioning, and Wilson Audio's constant commitment to technological innovation have led to the Alida CSC, a stylized monitor visually very similar to its predecessor, but which includes Numerous improvements to critical elements that directly influence their sound “signature.” Since the use of Convergent Synergy Carbon tweeter (CSC) to the crossover filters made with components custom made in the legendary Provo firm's own facilities (especially the brand new AudioCapX-WA-Cu capacitors) and the Mounting bracket where you can find the exclusive Material-V of the brand, the Alida CSC has been conceived to showcase the neutrality timbre, the vitality dynamic, the depth of the sound scene and the transparency typical of the best Wilson Audio columns and do so in the particularly adverse conditions typical of the installation attached to surfaces, such as those required when playing content recorded in Dolby Atmos.
Going into the particularities of the engineering of this exquisite acoustic box, we should first point out the advanced rear camera of the aforementioned CSC tweeter (which incorporates a 25 mm treated silk dome diaphragm), used for the first time in the elite Alexx V model and which allows it to provide the ultimate in resolution, linearity and harmonious level of detail in the restitution of the high frequencies of the spectrum. Another key aspect of this advanced mini-monitor is the presence, specifically at the critical interface between the Material-X enclosure and the dedicated stand, of the Material-V from Wilson Audio, in order to obtain a unparalleled control of potential vibrations, by isolating the acoustic block itself from the surface on which it is going to be mounted, the result being a extraordinary clarity in all types of locations, whether stereo or multichannel applications.
