Even if you intend to place the MythosNine on a TV or shelf, you must attach the wall-mount bracket to the speaker. See Using the In'eling Foot on page 3.
Wall Mounting the Mythos Nine
• We recommend that wall mounting of speakers be performed
by professional installers or by those appropriately skilled in the
use of power tools and the knowledge of building codes
and
structural issues.
•
We recommend that you determine a suitable location for
your speaker installation, and that you complete all wiring
(especially "hidden" in-wall wiring) before mounting
brackets to your walls.
• Mythos Brackets are not suitable
for ceiling mounting.
2. Make sure the location you have selected for wall-mounting
does not conceal behind-wall electrical wiring or plumbing.
3. The supplied cardboard mounting template is double-sided; one
side
is for horizontal orientation and the other is for vertical
mounting.
Be sure to face the correct side toward you. Hold the
cardboard template (included) in the intended location. Make
sure
the speaker clears the ceiling, adjacent walls, comers, beams,
lighting fixtures and door/window frames.
Leave at least
1)1" (38 mm) above or to the side of the speaker location to
allow the speaker to slide
onto the bracket.
1 1 rol" 1 I
The Mythos Nine loudspeaker comes with a wall mounting bracket and
template that makes secure mounting a breeze. Follow these directions
for installing the wall mounting bracket.
1. Two X"-20 screws have been factory installed on the back of
the speaker. Gently hand-tum the screws to make sure they are
in
as far as they can go. Do not force them beyond the "stop"
point. The screws cannot screw all the way into
the speaker and
should protrude
as shown in the illustration.

4. Make sure the center of the template is
centered with the TV screen's center points.
5. When mounting the speaker horizontally
use a bubble level to make sure
the template
is level. When mounting the speaker
vertically, use a plumb line to find perfect
vertical.
If the TV is off-level or off plumb,
the speaker will look better
if it is off-level
or plumb in exactly the same way
as the TV.
6. Use push pins to secure the template to the wall.
