Handcrafted
Beneath the surface of Harmony Center 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 double-
wall 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.

recautions
If you have any doubts about your ability to properly install in-wall loud-
speakers, 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 Loudspeaker mounts into standard 4-inch (or
greater) stud depth walls. Determine the final location of the speaker
before cutting any holes since changes to one speaker may affect the
others 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 construc-
tion. The Harmony speaker is designed to perform at its best when the bottom of the speaker is
located well off the floor. When wiring, it is useful to leave several extra feet of speaker cable at
the speaker end.
Select the wall locations for the Har-
mony system. Legacy has designed
the Harmony Center to be located
either above or below a thin profile
wall monitor.

1. Locate and cut opening through drywall centering it on two
studs with the standard 16” spacing. Refer to drawing for
dimensions. In new construction you want to frame the opening
and place the studs at a more convenient location.

2. Securely attach the two rubber lined wooden locks
to the inside face of the studs, using the two 2 ½”
long screws supplied. Use a bubble level to insure
that they are level with each other and square with
the wall. Refer to drawing for location of the blocks
relative to the opening. Use the supplied spacers to
adjust the separation between the blocks
3. Temporarily place cabinet in the wall, so that the
two recesses on its back rest on the rubber covered
hanger blocks protruding from the wall. Make sure
the cabinet hangs plumb and the small rubber
bumpers on the back of its rim are just touching the
face of the wall. Using an awl or other suitable
device mark the locations of the two cabinet
mounting holes on the face of the hanger blocks.
