Owner's Manual

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your
Receiver
or Amplifier
Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls
on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound.
Also,
if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recom-
mend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken
with many consumers about what they thought were improperly
sounding speakers when, in fact, the problem was misadjusted tone
controls.
When in doubt, leave them flat; this almost always
sounds the best.
Usually ifdistortion is heard when the speakers are being driven
at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud
and not driving the speakers with more power
than they can handle.
Remember, most amplifiers
put out their full-rated power well before the
volume control
is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you
play them loud,
turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
Mounting Your Mythos Six with the Supplied
Wall-Mount Bracket
Your Mythos Six comes with an optional wall-bracket designed to
securely mount your speaker flush to your wall. The bracket can ONLY
be used with a vertical installation. (For horizontal installations, the
Mythos Seven speaker should be used instead.) For safety, it
is extremely
important that this bracket be installed with molly-bolts
or similarly
effective fasteners appropriate for the construction
of your wall. Be sure
to use all six
of the mounting holes when fastening the bracket to the
wall. Never use unanchored or improperly anchored screws in your wall.
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Your dealer can either
arrange this for you, or refer you to a qualified installer.
To determine the bracket's position on the wall, the following measure-
ments will be helpful. When the Mythos Six
is installed on the bracket,
the top edge
of the speaker is 1 5/ xinches (41 mm) from the top edge of the
bracket, the bottom edge
of the speaker is 7 inches (177 mm) from the
bottom
of the bracket, and the outer edges of the speaker are l"!x inches
(35 mm) from the sides
of the bracket. If you are mounting your Mythos
Six close to anything above it, please allow an extra
1'/2 inches (38 mm)
for the speaker to slide onto its bracket.
If your speaker wires are to be hidden inside the wall, be sure to
conform to your local building codes. When installed on the bracket,
