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.
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”.

Speaker Installation
There are several ways to install Silhouette, depending on which version you are using.
Select the wall locations for the Silhouette system. Try to create a 60 degree angle
horizontally between the speaker pair, relative to the listening position. This
usually results in a 10 foot horizontal spread between the speakers, center to center.
Recommended mounting height for the loudspeaker puts the wall bracket screw holes
at 61.5" off the floor. This may be adjusted slightly to acommodate the sight lines of the
monitor."
If you have any doubts about your ability to properly install in/on-wall loudspeakers,
you should consider the services of a custom installer. If you plan to install them
yourself, always use high quality tools to save time and make the installation go more
smoothly. Determine the final location of both left and right speakers before drilling or
cutting any holes since changes to one speaker may affect the other either
aesthetically or acoustically. Look for pipes, wiring or any other conflicting material
that might be damaged before beginning the installation.

When mounting Silhouette Pro flat on the wall, use the included pair of Z- Clips as shown with the longer bar clip
anchored to wall studs.

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.
Care should be taken to avoid
electrical or plumbing before cutting
into wall or installing screws into
studs. 9
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.
