Handcrafted
Beneath the surface of Harmony HD’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”.

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.

Precautions
If you have any doubts about your ability to properly install in-wall loudspeak-
ers, 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 installa-
tion go more smoothly. The Harmony In-Wall Loudspeakers mount into stan-
dard 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 bot-
tom of the speaker is located well off the floor (about 2.5 feet). While it may be in-
stalled 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
60-degree angle horizontally be-
tween the speaker pair, relative
to the listening position. A spac-
ing 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 lo-
cated either above or below a
thin profile wall monitor.
