All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Speaker Placement Positioning Whisper for good performance is quite a bit easier than for most speakers. Remember that whisper is actually an acoustic gun with a highly controlled directivity pattern. Corner place- ments are actually quite workable though not necessarily optimal. Whisper will not become “boomy”... -
Page 6: Hooking Up Cables
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Hooking Up Cables The ideal conductor would have negligible resistance, inductance and capacitance. The table below shows how a few actual speaker cables measure up. Cable s/ft pF/ft µH/ft 12 ga. 0.0033 0.21 14 ga. - Page 7 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Hooking Up 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.

Page 8: 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. - Page 9 Some audiophiles feel that 200 watts per channel is the bare minimum to avoid audible clipping distortion when reproducing music at “live” playback levels. Your Legacy speakers are designed to take advan- tage of “high-powered” amplifiers, so don’t be afraid to put them through their paces.

This is accomplished with a single stereo amplifier by running separate sets of cables to the satellite section and the subwoofer section from the same channel of amplification.

Vertical Biamping Vertical biamplification requires the dedication of a single stereo amplifier for the left speaker, and another stereo amplifier for the right speaker. This con- figuration improves channel separation and can improve imaging slightly. 2.

Whisper Wave Launch Processor The high definition Digital Wavelaunch Processor hosts a LEGACY custom algorithm which automatically loads when the processor is powered on. Fac- tory settings are ‘plug and play’, and do not require a computer to utilize. Connections between the preamp and power amplifier should be as below. -
