Unpacking Your Mythos Loudspeakers Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage is most likely to occur in handling and should be reported at once to your Definitive Technology Dealer or to the delivery company that delivered your loudspeakers. Save all cartons and packing material when you have unpacked your loudspeakers. They will do the best job of protecting your speakers if they need to be shipped or transported.

Channel Balance & Bass Management • Multichannel (Dolby Digital & DTS) receivers and processors have a critical Channel Balancing Procedure for each speaker and the subwoofer (connected via LFE or “Sub Out” low-level). This balancing procedure must be followed in order to ensure proper performance from your speakers. See your receiver/processor user’s manual for this information.

Wall Mounting Speakers Using The Mythos Bracket Mythos Two, Mythos Three, Mythos Eight and Mythos Ten Loudspeakers each come with a custom designed wall mounting bracket and wall template that makes secure mounting a breeze. It is recommended that Mythos Three be installed horizontally and Mythos Two be installed vertically, while Mythos Eight and Ten can be used either vertically (as mains or surrounds) or horizontally (as a high performance center channel speaker).

Wall Mounting Speakers Using The Mythos Bracket (Continued) • Mark the location of pilot holes noted on the Mounting Template, and pre-drill for mounting screws (not included). Use screws rated to hold securely in the wall material (we recommend #10 screws). • If there is no stud behind the chosen location, be certain to use wall anchors (not included) to secure the bracket screws. Follow the wall anchor manufacturer’s directions.
