Installing Leveling
Feet
and
Spikes
We
have
provided leveling
feet
and
metal
spikes
with
your
Mythos
STSs;
they
are
in
the
same
bag
as
this
manual.
The
plastic
tips
are
for
hard
floor
surfaces
such
as
tile
and
wood
while
the
metal
spikes
are
for
use
on
carpeted
floors.
Be
careful
when
using
spikes
as
they
may
cause
damage
to
wooden
or
other
floors
which
are
susceptible
to
being
scratched. Definitive
Technology
is
not
responsible
for
floor
damage
which
may
result
from
the
use
of
spikes.
Screw
the
leveling
feet
into
the
five
threaded
inserts
on
the
bottom of
the
base.
If
you
plan
on
using
spikes, it
would
be
best
to
experiment
with
speaker
positioning
first,
then
add
the
spikes
once
you
are
sure
you've detennined
the
speakers' permanent position.
To
install
the
carpet spikes,
unscrew
the
non-
marking
tips
from
the
centers of
the
five
leveling
feet
and
screw
the
spikes
in
their
places.
Then,
with
the
help of another
person,
lift
the
speaker upright
and
lower
it
to
the
desired location; push
down
on
the
top
of
the
speaker
to
force
the
spikes
through
the
carpet
and
make
contact
with
the
floor
beneath.
Once
you
have
positioned
the
speakers,
wiggle
them
to
see
if
they
are
stable
and
level.
Adjust
the
height of
the
leveling feet/spikes accordingly for best
stability.
Positioning
the
Mythos Speakers in Your Room
Your
new
Mythos
speakers
are
very
flexible
in
terms
of positioning
and
placement
options
and
they
will
produce excellent
sound
in
almost
any
location.
Following a
few
simple guidelines
will,
however,
optimize their performance
for
the
more
critical
listener.
Although
the
following
recommendations
will
usually
yield
the
best
results,
all
rooms
and
listening sets-ups
are
different,
so
do
not
be
afraid
to
experiment
with
the
speaker
placement.
Whatever
sounds
best
to
you
is
correct.

Positioning
Mythos
STS
as
Left/Right
Main
Speakers
For
best
results create
an
equilateral
triangle
between
the
speakers
and
the
listening position
as
shown
in
the
illustration.
Angle
the
speakers toward
the
center of
the
listening position
for
brighter,
clearer
sound
with
a sharper
focus
and
a
more
solid central
image
(recommended).
Pointing
the
speakers
straight
forward,
parallel with
each
other,
will
result
in
a warmer
less
sharply
focused
sound.
The
Mythos
STSs
are
magnetically shielded
for
safe
placement near
TV
or
video
monitors.
If
you
notice
video
distortion
or
discoloration, immediately
move
the
speakers
farther
away
from
the
video
display.
To
get
the
best possible
imaging
and
most
even
tonal
response
avoid
placing
the
speakers
less
than 3
feet
(1
Meter)
from
back
and
side
walls.
