Good to know about your
new speakers
Check the serial number
The serial number is on a label on
the back of the speaker.
We recommend you to note down
the serial number on your invoice
and insurance policy.
Please contact your dealer if the
serial number is not mentioned on
the loudspeakers.
Warranty
System Audio A/S gives a 2 year
warranty against manufacturing
defects .This warranty does not
cover misuse. Repairs and service
must be carried out by the dealer or
associated service facilities.
Changes in the design will void your
warranty.
Use SA's offer of a free 7-year
warranty and register your speaker
on our website (under customer
service).
Run the new loudspeakers at
reasonable volume
All SA loudspeakers must be run at a
reasonable volume for a certain
period. This is because SA uses
woofers with a long stroke and
therefore, this will be required for a
period of several days. The sound
quality will gradually increase
throughout the period.

New technology
to fill the room with sound
A new feature of SA legend is the
special DXT-lens around the twee-
ter.
The patented design makes the
living-room better filled with sound.
The advantages of DXT are
obvious. Try to walk around the
room and enjoy the music from
every corner.

Installation - compact loudspeakers
There is a wall bracket for SA legend 5
see page 4.
SA legend 5 can also be placed
directly in a bookcase. For the best
sound quality, ensure free air passage
for the reflex port on the back part.
Ensure min. 5 cm free space behind
the loudspeaker and one on the side
of the loudspeaker.
SA legend can also be placed on a
speaker stand see page 4
Installation - floorstanding speakers
SA legend (40 & 60) are designed to
stand on the floor. The speakers must
be placed at a distance of 20 – 40 cm
in front of a wall. The distance can be
increased or reduced, depending on
the sound you want. After the period
when the speakers must be run at a
reasonable low volume, the speakers
may be installed on the rubber pads or
spikes.
Rubber feet. Rubber feet are used
provided the speaker is placed on a
surface, for example, a wooden floor.
Spikes. We recommend you to use
spikes provided the speakers are
placed on a soft base, for example, a
carpet. It is important to place the
speakers vertically and not to move
them. Adjust the spikes and counter-
nuts in order to ensure that the
speakers are placed evenly on all 4
spikes. Tighten the nuts when you are
done with the adjustments.
We recommend you to use the rubber
pads or spikes only after the
appropriate location is found in order
to make the installation and set-up
easier.
Mounting of feet
Place the speaker with the top down
and mount the alu pieces:
Install rubber feet or spikes like this:
Turn the speaker with the top up, and
mount the alu tops on the spikes or
rubber feet.
Example of setup
The sound from the loudspeakers is
greatly depending on the setup of the
loudspeaker.
Here are some general advice.
A
The distance between the
loudspeakers and the wall behind
them.
Start with a distance of 20 cm from the
floorstanding speaker.
The distance has to be the same for
both speakers. Try with some music
you know and find out what distance
gives the best sound in your home.
Greater distance = weaker bass,
more precise bass, better precision/
impact and greater perspective.
Shorter distance = louder and softer
bass, smaller sound perspective.
B
The distance from the side walls to
the loudspeakers.
Preferably greater than the distance to
the back wall
A short distance to the side walls
increases the bass in the same way as
A.
C,D
The distance between the
loudspeakers and the listening
position.
The ideal distance is 2,5 - 3 m.
Distances C & D must be the same.
The loudspeakers must be placed in a
mutual angle of about 15°. This means
that you can only see the inside of
both loudspeakers.
