Legacy Audio Signature SE - Manual (Page 23)

My goal with the Signature SE design was to provide a high level of musical accuracy while
providing solid dynamics and extended frequency range - all in a footprint of one square
foot or less. The 10” woofers were paired to reduce distortion while the sealed alignment
couples to the floor boundary to further enhance extension. The 7” midrange driver is
mounted in a separate enclosure and filled with polyester fiber to reduce and dampen inter-
nal reflection. The cabinet walls are 1” thick to provide a rigid structure with adequate
mass. The cast frame 7” driver cone material was pressed from a silver/titanium/graphite
composite weave with rohacell stiffening layer and employs an additional reversion mag-
netic under the phase plug. The ribbon drivers are the very same used in the Legacy Focus
SE (positioned at exactly the same listener height as the Focus SE) and employ planar and
folded diaphragms suspended in high magnetic force field provided by neodymium. The
speaker is biamp capable by removing copper straps on the rear terminal plate. Switches
are included to shunt 2 dB of treble and reject room emphasis in the 65-90 Hz range.
Voicing has been accomplished very carefully to assure accuracy, and each pair is individu-
ally tuned before leaving the Springfield, Illinois factory.
