ENGLISH
‘Mytho 6’ and ‘Mytho 8’ are ‘studio monitors’ (or ‘reference monitors’): loudspeakers
specifically designed for audio production applications where an accurate reproduction
(having an extended and flat frequency response) is required, such as recording, television
and radio studios.
These studio monitors are defined ‘near-field’, as they are designed to be small enough to
be placed on a stand or a desk in proximity to the listener (1 – 2 m), so that most of the
sound that the listener hears directly comes from loudspeakers, rather than reflecting off of
walls and ceilings (minimising the ‘sound coloration’ and the reverberation of the room).
ICC TECHNOLOGY
‘Mytho’ woofers feature a unique ‘Impedance Control Coil’ technology: a secondary coil
wound on the loudspeaker yoke and driven in opposite phase to the primary coil has the
function of cancelling the primary coil inductance, increasing the speaker sensitivity and
reducing the loudspeaker distortion.
A primary effect of this technology is the improvement of the temporal behaviour of
the loudspeaker, improving the crossover transition from the woofer to the tweeter and
resulting in incredible midrange accuracy and perfect phase linearity.
NEODYMIUM VENTED WOOFERS
Neodymium ‘Mytho’ woofers feature a large sized 51 mm voice coil. This guarantees very
high energy for tight and controlled bass reproduction and perfect thermal stability with
minimum power compression. The magnetic circuit features a special air ventilation to
reduce air compression, air noises and minimize distortion in large excursion situations.
HIGH DEFINITION TWEETER
‘Mytho’ monitors features high quality metal dome tweeter. The dome is large for the best
vocal reproduction and its design is the state of the art for high frequency definition.
ALUMINIUM CABINET
The die cast aluminium cabinet is the result of many years of experience. The cabinet
is internally braced and reinforced to improve the low frequency response and reduce
resonances. The internal volume is maximised in comparison with more traditional
wooden cabinets. The external shape of the cabinet is precisely designed to minimize edge
reflections. The front baffle integrates a ‘precision
directivity’ wave-guide designed to improve the treble dynamics and create uniform high
frequency dispersion. Special attention has been dedicated to the bass reflex air port
design. The cabinet vertical angle can be adjusted to optimise the orientation for the
listening position.
DEDICATED POWER
‘Mytho’ monitors are 2-way (bi-amplified) active loudspeakers, having a 200 watt amplifier
for the low frequencies and a 100 watt amplifier for the high frequencies; both amplifiers
are AB class.
DSP PROCESSING
The digital signal processing is carried out by a dedicated high quality DSP, in order to
guarantee a fine crossover tuning and an optimal frequency response, independently from
temperature and component tolerances.
Soft amplifier clipping and transducers protections are integrated in the DSP processing.
INPUT BOARD
The ‘Mytho’ input board features all the controls to set up the system in every situation:
- Balanced combo XLR – jack signal input
- Input sensitivity control (+6 dBu ÷ –6 dBu).
- Woofer and tweeter mute switches, useful to listen each single transducer (for testing)
- ‘Treble tilt’ control
- ‘Bass tilt’ control
