Definitive Technology Mythos Six - Manual (Page 4)

Hooking Up Your Mythos Loudspeakers
Your Mythos loudspeakers each have one pair of gold 5-way
binding posts. Normally, you will hook up the left main/front channel
red(+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red(+) terminal of
your left Mythos loudspeaker and the left main/front channel black(-)
terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of your
left Mythos loudspeaker. Connect the right channel main/front
channel red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+)
terminal of your right Mythos loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of
the right main/front channel of your receiver or amplifier to the
black(-) terminal of your right Mythos loudspeaker.
If you are using the Mythos as a center channel, connect the center
channel red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+)
terminal of your Mythos center channel speaker and the black (-)
terminal of the center channel of your receiver or amplifier to the
black(-) terminal of your Mythos center channel loudspeaker.
If you are using the Mythos as side/rear surround speakers, hook up
the left surround red(+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the
red(+) terminal of your Mythos left surround speaker and the left sur-
round black(-) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-)
terminal of your Mythos left surround speaker. Connect the right sur-
round red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+) termi-
nal of your Mythos right surround loudspeaker and the black(-) termi-
nal of the right surround channel of your receiver or amplifier to the
black(-) terminal of your Mythos right surround loudspeaker.
If your receiver/ decoder has a bass management system and you
are using a separate subwoofer, set bass management to “Small” left
and right main speakers, “Small” center channel, “Small” surround
speakers and “Yes” subwoofer. If your receiver/decoder has a choice
of crossover frequencies, set the crossover to 80 Hz or 100 Hz if avail-
able (for greater dynamic range). If you are not using a separate sub-
woofer, set bass management to “Large” left and right main speakers,
“Large” center channel and “Large”surround speakers, and “No” sub-
woofer. We strongly recommend the use of a separate subwoofer.
