VERY IMPORTANT:
SETTING CHANNEL BALANCE AND BASS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic systems and decoders have a critical
channel balancing procedure for the left and right front speakers, center
channel, rears and subwoofer (if it is hooked up through the LFE or Sub Out
low level connection) which must be followed if the system is to perform
properly. We have spoken with many system users with problems relating to
the overall sound of their system which could be clearly traced back to
improper system balance.
Also note that Dolby Digital decoders have bass management systems (sys-
tems which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to
unit. This bass management system must also be properly adjusted. If your
Mythos loudspeaker is hooked up with speaker level wires and you are using
a separate subwoofer, your receiver or decoder’s bass management system
should be set for “Small
” left and right main speakers, “Small” center,
“Small
” surrounds, and “Yes” subwoofer. If you are using rear surround
speakers with very extended low frequency response set the rear channels of
your decoder’s bass management system to “
Large.
” If not, set them to
“Small
” (if you are using the Mythos speaker as a rear or side surround
speaker, set the rear or side surround bass management to “Small
”). If you
are using Mythos loudspeakers without a separate subwoofer, set bass man-
agement to “Large” left and right main speakers, “Large” center, “Large”
surrounds, and “No
” subwoofer
. (Also, do not be afraid to experiment.)
Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.
