has
some
indicator
(such
as
color-coding,
ribbing
or
writing)
on
one
of
the
two
conductors
to
help
you
maintain
consistency.
It
is
essential
to
connect
both
speakers
to
the
amplifier
in
the
same
way
(in
phase).
If
you
experience
a
lack
of
bass,
it
is
likely
that
one
speaker
is
out
o(
phase
with
the
other
and
needs
to
be
rewired
paying
closer
attention
to
connect
positive
to
positive;
negative
to
negative
on
both
channels.

Powering the Active Subwoofer
Your
Mythos
STSs
contain a
built-in,
active
powered
subwoofer
section
as
well
as
an
electronic
crossover
and
must
be
plugged
into
an
electrical
socket
of
the
appropriate
voltage
(as
indicated
on
the
back
of
your
unit)
using
the
electrical
cord
which
you
have
attached
to
the
bottom
of
the
speaker.
The
Mythos
STS
has
a
special
circuit
which
automatically
turns
the
powered
subwoofer
section
on
when
a
signal
is
fed
to
the
loudspeaker
and
does
not
require
an
on-off
switch.
Please
note
that
if
you
hear
a
pop
from
the
speaker
when
the
amp
powers
up,
this
is
nonnal.
The
LED
on
the
back
panel
will
light
up
when
a
signal
is
sensed
and
the
amplifier
turns
on.
After
the
cessation of a
signal,
it
may
take
up
to
an
hour
for
the
amplifier
to
actually
tum
off.
In
some
instances,
because
of
stray
radio
signals
(RF)
in
your
area,
the
LEDs
may
not
tum
off.
However,
this
is
nothing
to
be
concerned
about
as
the
amplifiers
draw
almost
no
power
when
they
are
idling.
Setting
Your
Speakers'
Low-Frequency
Level
Control
Your
Mythos
STSs
have
bass
level
controls
which
allow
you
to
tune
the
output
level
of
the
powered
subwoofers
to
match
your
room
and
personal
listening
preferences.
Please
note
that
there
are
no
controls
to
vary
the
crossover
points
or
phase
because
these
have
been
factory
calibrated
and
set
to
provide
perfect
blending
(a
major
perfonnance
benefit
of
this
innovative
product).
We
suggest
beginning
with
the
level
control
set
at
approximately
1o'clock.
Nonnally
the
level
control
of
the
left
speaker
will
be
set
the
same
as
the
level
control
of
the
right
speaker.
However,
these
controls
can
also
be
set
differently
on
the
two
speakers
in
order
to
allow
you
to
vary
the
response
of
left
and
right
speakers
to
compensate
asymmetrical
positioning
of
the
speakers
in
your
room
(i.e.,
when
one
is
closer
to
a
side
wall
or
comer,
etc.).
This
is
a
useful
feature
which
allows
you
much
greater
flexibility
in
loudspeaker
placement,
as
well
as
the
ability
to
compensate
for
what
could
otherwise
be
difficult
placement
situations.
