    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.

    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.

  • Page 8: Hooking Up Cables

    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. Ωs/ft Cable pF/ft µH/ft 12 ga. 0.0033 0.21 14 ga. 0.0048 0.13 16 ga. 0.0079 0.18 18 ga.

  • Page 9: Hooking Up Cables

    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 10: 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 11 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.

  • Page 12: Amplification

    Amplification When an amplifier is unable to fulfill your loudspeakers demands, a damaging harmonic spike may be leaked to the high frequency drivers. Another important point regarding loudness is that the dB scale is a logarithmic one. This means that a 150 Watt amplifier will potentially sound only twice as loud as a 15 Watt amplifier.

  • Page 13: Speaker Connections

    Speaker Connections The Terminal Plate At the rear of your loudspeaker you will find one row of binding posts. Connect each channel of your amplifier to the loudspeaker via the binding posts provided. Dual banana plugs or gold plated spade lugs are recommended means of termination. Be sure that you observe polarity when making the connections.
