Thank you for selecting a Legacy Loudspeaker System. These hand-

crafted instruments will provide you with many years of listening en-

joyment.

Owners Record

Handcrafted

Beneath the surface of Silverscreen HD’s elegant exterior lies rigid MDF

construction. Interlocking joinery maximizes the strength of the cabinet

parts. Polyester fiberfill is selected for internal damping. A sharp rap on

the enclosure will leave you with little more than bruised knuckles.

Each cabinet is impeccably finished on all exposed surfaces with select

veneers. The exquisite finish is hand-rubbed several times to assure a

patina at home with the most elegant decor.

Our Commitment

A great deal of forethought, love and satisfaction is instilled in each piece

of Legacy workmanship. We take pride in getting to know many of our

customers on a first name basis.

Your purchase of this product is backed by the renowned “Legacy

Satisfaction Guarantee”.

The Cabinetry / Our Commitment

Legacy Audio supports its customers and products with pride. We cheerfully warrant our loud-

speaker products we manufacture from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven

(7) years. Electronic components such as internal amplifiers and digital processors are covered for

three (3)years. Please register your product with Legacy Audio. Should you require service Legacy

will require a proof of purchase in order to honor the warranty - so please keep your receipt.

• The warranty applies to the original owner and is not transferable.

• The warranty applies to products purchased from an “Authorized Legacy Dealer”.

• The warranty on active components such as digital processors or internal amplifiers is limited to three

(3) years of coverage.

• The warranty on dealer stock will extend for a maximum of two years from invoice.

The warranty does not cover transportation costs of product to or from the customer, distributor or

dealer, or related shipping damage.

Exclusions from Warranty

The following situations or conditions are not covered by the Legacy Audio warranty:

• Accidental damage, electrical abuse or associated equipment failure.

• Use inconsistent with recommended operating instructions and specifications

• Damage caused by modification or unauthorized service

• Costs associated with the removal and reinstallation of defective products. Consequential damage to

other products.

• Normal wear such as fading of finishes due to sunlight.

Warranty

Your new speaker system has been very carefully packaged to insure

that it travels to you safely. Each speaker is protected by a double-

wall outer carton with heavy V-board corner protectors. Molded foam

end caps are used to protect the elegant cabinetry, and a plastic liner

is provided as waterproofing. Please save this packing for future

transportation. If cartons become damaged or misplaced, new ones

can be purchased from Legacy Audio.

npacking Your Speakers

To allow more flexibility in seating arrangements, your Legacy loudspeaker is

designed for broad lateral coverage. Optimal listener position is actually about 5 to

15 degrees off of the axis normal to the loudspeaker baffle (approximately 4-5’ off

the floor). Your Legacy speaker is optimized for a flat response in the far field.

Placing the loudspeaker or the listener near a room boundary will generally increase

low frequency impact. You may also wish to reduce low frequency output with your

preamp's bass tone control.

Speaker Placement

The ideal conductor would have negligible resistance, inductance

and capacitance. The table below shows how a few actual speaker

cables measure up.

Cable Ωs ft pF ft µH ft

12 ga. 0.0033 24 0.21

14 ga. 0.0048 17 0.13

16 ga. 0.0079 16 0.18

18 ga. 0.0128 28 0.21

Capacitance is considered insignificant in each cable because its ef-

fect is well out of the audio bandwidth; inductance can be de-

creased (at the expense of increased capacitance) by keeping the

conductor pair closely spaced.

How long would a cable have to be before inductance effects would

impinge on the audio spectrum? Approximately 300 feet of 12 gauge

would be required to establish a corner frequency of 20 kHz with an

8 Ohm loudspeaker. As you see, inductance is not a problem for

most of us.

Hooking p Cables

What about phase shift due to frequency dependent travel times down the speaker

cable? Measurements show that 100 Hz waves will be delayed about 20 billionths of a

second behind 10 kHz waves when traveling to the end of a 10 foot speaker cable.

Since the cilia of the ear requires 25,000 times longer than this just to transmit phase

information, phase shifting is obviously not the primary concern when considering

speaker cables.

What about resistance? Finally we are getting somewhere. Resistance is the control-

ling factor of the amplifier loudspeaker interface. Excessive resistance can cause ma-

jor shifts of speaker crossover frequencies. The lower the impedance of the loud-

speaker, the greater the effects of series resistance. A 20 foot run of 18 gauge cable

can cause up to 10% deviations of crossover center frequencies. That same 20 feet

can un-damp your damping factor and reduce your systems’ output by one half deci-

bel.

In summary, there are no perfect cables. The best way to approximate the ideal

would be to keep loudspeaker leads as short as is practical.

Hooking p Cables

Ideally the loudspeaker would be among the first components selected when assembling a play-

back system. This would allow the user to choose an amplifier capable of delivering adequate

amounts of current into the frequency dependent load presented by the loudspeaker. However,

when upgrading a system, audiophiles may find themselves matching their new loudspeakers to

their existing amplification. For this reason, extensive measures have been taken to ensure that

each Legacy speaker system represents a smooth, non-reactive load to virtually any amplifier.

Often there is much confusion regarding amplification and loudness levels. It should be under-

stood that the role of the amplifier goes beyond that of driving loudspeakers to a given sound

pressure level. The amplifier should be able to CONTROL the loudspeakers across the entire mu-

sic spectrum. This means that parameters such as damping factor (values greater than 60 are

acceptable) and dynamic headroom should not be overlooked when comparing amplifiers.
