Section 1.1 – Passive WATCH Dog Introduction
The WATCH (Wilson Audio Theater Comes Home) Dog subwoofer is the culmina-
tion of over twenty years of experience at Wilson Audio in building high output, ultra-
low distortion woofer and subwoofer products. It was designed to further extend and
enhance the bottom octave performance of music and theater systems without compro-
mising speed, tonal accuracy, or phase coherency. The WATCH Dog will seamlessly and
coherently integrate with any loudspeaker, whether you are augmenting a two-channel

optimized for both music and multi-channel applications, even within the same system.
The Controller’s adjustments allow critical setup, ensuring the best possible perfor-
mance in a wide range of rooms and with a variety of speakers.
