WITT Mk I

About the WITT Mk I

Released in 1995 and retired in 1997, the Wilson Audio WITT mkI is a three-way, reflex-loaded loudspeaker system designed with a massive enclosure made from proprietary polymer materials for excellent internal damping and mechanical impedance matching. It features a 12-inch treated paper-cone woofer, a 7-inch treated paper-cone midrange, and a 1-inch inverted titanium oxide dome tweeter. The speaker provides a frequency response of 28 Hz to 22 kHz (±1.5 dB), nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and sensitivity of 90 dB at 1 meter with 2.83 V input. The enclosure dimensions are approximately 42 5/8 inches high, 16 1/8 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, weighing about 200-235 lbs per speaker. The WITT mkI is known for its revealing sound, detailed mids and highs, and a large soundstage that requires a spacious listening environment. It was considered a 'mini' version of Wilson Audio's flagship X-1 speakers and was highly regarded for its musical quality and transient performance. The crossover network uses multiple slopes for acoustical phase linearity and high-quality audio-grade components matched to better than 0.1% tolerance. The speakers are front-ported and built with MDF and X-Material side panels for rigidity and damping. Originally
