above and an additional 1
or
2 speakers will be located on the rear wall as described
above.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: When the Mythos Gem is used as a rear
or side surround speaker, the bass management
of
your receiver or decoder for those
channels :;hould be set to "Small."
Using
the
Mythos
Gems
in
Conjunction
with
a
Definitive
Sub
,
When a pair
of
Mythos Gems is used in conjunction with a Definitive sub, they
may be connected either directly to the left and right channel
of
your amplifier
or
receiver, or to the left and right speaker level outputs
on
a Definitive sub (when the
Definitive sub is connected via the high-level speaker wire inputs to the left and
right channel speaker outputs on your receiver). Connecting the Mythos Gems to a
Definitive Sub (which includes a built-in high-pass crossover for the Mythos Gems)
will result in greater dynamic range (the system can be played louder without over-
driving the satellites) and is recommended for most installations, especially when
the system is being used for home theater. Because this is the most common set-up,
the following instructions relate to wiring the Mythos Gems to a Definitive sub.
Wiring 2 Mythos Gems
and
1 Definitive Sub for Stereo (2-Channel) Use
1) First, wire the red (+) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire output
of
your
receiver or amplifier to the red
(+) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire (high
level) input
of
your Definitive Sub.
2) Next, wire the black (-) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire output
of
your
receiver or amplifier to the black (-) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire (high
level) input
of
the Definitive sub.
3) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the right channel.
4) Wire the red
(+) terminal
of
the left Mythos Gem to the left channel red (+)
speaker wire (high level) on the back
of
the Definitive sub.
S)
Wire the black (-) terminal
of
the left Mythos Gem to the left channel black (-)
speaker wire (high level)
on
the back
of
the Definitive sub.
6) Repeat steps 4
& 5 for the right Mythos Gem.
7) Set the low frequency filter control on the back
of
the Definitive sub
to
approximately
2
0'
clock. Please note that the exact frequency will depend on many factors including
specific positions
of
the speakers in the room, so you might experiment with a slightly
higher or lower setting to achieve ideal blending between the sub and the satellites for
your particular set-up. Listen to a wide variety
of
music to determine the correct setting
for this in your system.
8) Set the subwoofer level control so that it sounds properly balanced with the satellites.
Please note that the exact level depends on many factors including your room size, posi-
tion
of
the speakers, etc. as well as your personal listening taste, so you might experi-
ment with the subwoofer level while listening
to
a wide variety
of
music until you
achieve the ideal setting for your system.
9)
If
your receiver allows you to choose whether or not the main speakers are
to
receive
a full-range signal, choose full range (or "Large
Left and Right Main Speakers").
