Unpacking Your
Mythos
Loudspeakers
Please Inspect For Shipping
Damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible
or
concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant
and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery
company that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your system
carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or
need to ship your system. Record the serial number found on the back
of
the Mythos loudspeakers in the appropriate place on your warranty card.
Positioning Your
Mythos
Speakers in Your Room
Your new Mythos speakers are very flexible in tenns
of
positioning
and placement options.
The Mythos Six will generally be positioned vertically.
It
can be easily
mounted on a wall using its unique mounting system. When attached to
its optional glass base, it can be placed on a tabletop, on a bookshelfor in
a cabinet, etc. The Mythos Seven is designed for horizontal mounting and
it can be easily mounted on a wall, using its unique mounting system.
It can also be placed on a tabletop, on top
of
a
TV
(ifthe top provides a
deep enough platfonn for stable placement), on a shelf, etc. when used
with its rear stabilizing/angle adjustment foot.
Please remember that although the following recommendations are
usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are somewhat unique, so
do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever
sounds best to you is correct.
Positioning
Mythos
Six
as
Left/Right
Main
Speakers
Because
of
its vertical orientation, the Mythos Six will nonnally be
used as a right or left main front speaker
or
as a rear or side surround
speaker. Nevertheless, it can certainly be used as a center speaker
if
its
vertical orientation is appropriate for a center speaker in your installation.
When used as left and right front speakers, the Mythos Sixes can be
placed right next to the
TV
with excellent results or may be separated by
a distance greater than the width
of
the
TV.
As with any speaker, a greater
separation
(5
to 7 feet or more) will nonnally result in a bigger sound-
stage and this is recommended from a sonic point
of
view.
