Wilson Audio The Watt/Puppy

The WATT/Puppy: A modern reimagining of an iconic loudspeaker

The WATT/Puppy is a bold tribute to one of the most recognizable loudspeaker designs in audio history. Combining over 50 years of innovation with the legacy of the original, this remastered version embodies the vision of its creator, Dave Wilson. Through advanced materials and cutting-edge technology, Wilson Audio presents a loudspeaker that delivers extraordinary sound quality while honoring its rich heritage.

Material DNA: excellence in every detail

The evolution of the WATT/Puppy from 1986 to 2011 saw eight distinct versions, each pushing the limits of material performance for sound reproduction. The latest iteration utilizes a combination of X-Material for bracing and enclosures, S-Material for precise midrange coupling, and V-Material as a vibration-sink interface. These advancements ensure impeccable vibration control and unmatched sonic clarity, setting a new standard for compact loudspeaker design.

Highlights of material innovation:

• X-Material: Used for robust internal bracing and the external enclosure, ensuring structural integrity and optimal acoustics.
• S-Material: Delivers seamless midrange performance through coupling to the front WATT baffle.
• V-Material: Enhances vibration control, positioned at critical points for sound isolation and clarity.

Get a grip: practical and iconic design

The functional rod handle, originally designed in 1985 for studio transport, returns with a modern twist. Redesigned for the new WATT/Puppy, it ensures a secure grip from any angle, offering both style and practicality. Its enduring purpose makes installation and transport of the WATT effortless while maintaining its iconic aesthetic.

Enhanced sound through AudioCap copper capacitors

Wilson Audio’s proprietary AudioCapX-WA capacitors are meticulously crafted in-house to strict tolerances. These capacitors elevate sound resolution, capturing low-level details and rendering micro-frequencies with astonishing clarity.
