Handcrafted
Beneath the surface of Harmony 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”.

Your new speaker system has been very carefully packaged to insure that it travels to you safely. Each speaker is protected by a double­wall outer carton with heavy 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.

Precautions
If you have any doubts about your ability to properly install in-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. The Harmony In-Wall Loud­speakers mount into standard 4-inch (or greater) stud depth walls. De­termine the final location of both left and right speakers before 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.
WARNING: Wear Eye Protection when cutting drywall. Also be certain there are no electrical, water, heating, or gas lines inside the wall in the location you plan to mount your Harmony loudspeakers.

Due to Harmony’s unique patented design, Installation is identical for new or existing construc­tion. The Harmony speaker is designed to perform at its best when the bottom of the speaker is located well off the floor (about 2.5 feet). While it may be installed at greater heights, it will per­form most optimally if the variance is kept within 6” of this height. When wiring, it is useful to leave several extra feet of speaker cable at the speaker end.
Select the wall locations for the Har­mony system. Try to create a 60­degree angle horizontally between the speaker pair, relative to the lis­tening position. A spacing of 8 feet between speakers is achievable in rooms 12 to 15 feet in width. (Figure
1) Spacing may be affected by the use of a video monitor or screen. To facilitate installation, Legacy has de­signed the Harmony Center to be lo­cated either above or below a thin profile wall monitor.
