Wilson Audio’s first wall-mount loudspeaker was designed as part of the W.A.T.C.H. (Wilson Audio Theater Comes Home) system. This foundational creation’s sole purpose was to serve as the surround sound component of a 5.1 installation while nonetheless offering the measure of frequency response and dynamic contrast that would complement Wilson Audio’s large floorstanding main speakers.
Over time, however, it became apparent that the performance of the W.A.T.C.H. Surround speaker was so good that people were using it as a wall-mounted speaker in two-channel music systems. Now found in bedrooms, offices, or other locations where space or architecture precluded the use of floorstanding loudspeakers, this need was recognized and the original Alida was born. Designed for main channel system playback while still maintaining its ability to excel in multi-channel surround applications.
Ultimate Emersion
Captivating multi-channel audio and cinematic experiences await those who choose surround systems. Alida CSC is ready. Surround sound content has come a long way from its infancy in the early 1980’s. Dolby Atmos systems allow for configurations like 5.1.2 or 7.2.4 (the last number refers to the number of ceiling-mounted speakers).
Because Alida CSC remains the uncompromising choice for state-of-the-art multi-channel audio and surround sound, we naturally developed and offer the Alida Ceiling Mount option to accommodate the most ambitious Atmos configurations.
Alida CSC includes numerous upgrades to the critical elements that sculpt the sound she delivers. From the utilization of the Convergent Synergy Carbon (CSC) tweeter to the custom in-house built crossovers and the Mounting Bracket employing our proprietary V-Material. Alida CSC is designed to offer the timbral neutrality, dynamic response, soundstage depth, and comparable transparency of floorstanding Wilson Audio loudspeakers, but to do so in the extremely adverse conditions of surface-mounted applications, including Dolby Atmos™ and mounting to the ceiling.
