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. -

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 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 13 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 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. -
