Page 4: The Cabinetry / Our Commitment
The Cabinetry / Our Commitment Handcrafted Beneath the surface of Silhouette ’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. -
Page 5: Warranty
Warranty 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. -
Page 6: Speaker Installation
Speaker Installation Select the wall locations for the Silhouette system. Try to create a 60 degree angle hori zo ntally between the speaker pair, relative to the listening position. This usually results in a 10 foot horizontal spread between the speakers, center to center. -

Page 9: Silhouette Pro In Wall Installation
Silhouette Pro In Wall Installation Wall Substrate/ Drywall After positioning the speakers, use a drywall saw to cut an opening slightly larger than the 12.15" x 35.5" cabinet body. The outer baffle is 37" long and 17.5" wide. Six mounting screws are to be installed through the center of the grille cups into the wall framing. -
Page 10: 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. Cable s/ft 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 11: 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 12 Amplification 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.
- Page 13 Amplification How much power will your new speakers need? That ultimately depends on your listening environment and musical tastes. As little as five watts per channel should drive them to a level satisfactory for background music. A typical 45 watt per channel receiver may fill a room with the compressed mid-band energy of “heavy metal,”...
- Page 14 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 15: Speaker Connections
The Terminal Plate At the rear of each of your Silhouette loudspeakers you will find a terminal plate housing one pair of binding posts. Hook the high level speaker inputs from the main amplifier to the pair of binding post. Be sure that you observe polarity when making the connections. -
