BASS ROLL-OFF (C, D dip-switches)
This filter that reduces the very low frequencies. If the switch is set in OFF position the
filtering is bypassed.
In the - 3 dB or - 6 dB position the low-shelf filter reduces frequencies below 80 Hz by
the selected amount. The low frequency attenuation is necessary when loudspeakers are
placed near the room walls or corners. The amount will depend on the specific situation
(in general -3 dB for wall placement and -6dB in case of corner placement). The 80 Hz
High Pass filter apply to the input a Butterworth high-pass filter with cut-off frequency at
80 Hz. This filter will be used for vocal monitoring purposes or when the Mytho monitors
are used in combination with a subwoofer.
WOOFER (E dip-switch)
It turns on/off the low frequency amplifier. This switch must be kept on and set to MUTE
for testing purpose only.
POWER LED (F dip-switch)
This switch in low position turns off the LEDs around the RCF logo in front of the speaker.
This option can be required when the positioning of the Mytho Monitor is close to video
sources or in residential applications.
TWEETER (H dip switch)
This switch in low position mute the high frequency amplifier. This option will help evaluating
the proper working condition of the bass channel.
This switch must be kept on and set to MUTE for testing purposes only.
TREBLE TILT (I, J dip-switches)
This setting is a high-shelf shaping filter that increase or reduce frequencies above 6 kHz by
a selected amount. A room can be very dull or very bright depending on wall materials. This
filter help to correct the behaviour in the high frequencies for a specific room.
For a normal room no correction shall be applied (0 dB position). For a dull room the treble
tilt filter shall be set at +1 dB. The filter shall be set at -1 dB or -2 dB for a bright or very
bright room.
EQUALISATION (K dip-switch)
The woofer emission is omni directional for very low and mid-low frequencies but tend to
be more directive for mid frequencies. When the room is small the amount of reflections
from the walls is bigger for the very low and mid-low frequencies that will tend to be to be
predominant compared to mid frequencies in case of same axial emission.
When this switch is set to LINEAR POWER response a dedicated filter compensates this lack
of mid frequencies from the woofer channel.
In medium to large rooms, where the wall reflections tend to be negligible, this switch must
be set in the LINEAR FREQUENCY response.
DESKTOP CONTROL (L dip-switch)
This control reduces the emission in the frequency range (centred in the 150 Hz octave) that
is usually boosted when studio monitors are directly placed on a reflective surface (e.g. the
mixing desk, a table, etc.).
If Mytho Monitors are placed in this positions set this switch ON to obtain a linear listening.
