Definitive Technology Seven Speaker User Manual


 
Positioning Mythos Six as Rear/Side Surrounds
When used as rear or side surround speakers, Mythos Six may be
located on the side or behind the listeners. When used on the sides,
take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. The
speakers may be placed at or above ear level. If the speakers are placed
on the rear wall, it is suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart
if possible. (For instance, if there is a couch in the center of the rear wall
on which the listeners will sit, try to position the speakers wider apart
than the couch.)
Positioning Mythos Seven as a Center Channel
The Mythos Seven is designed for horizontal use and will normally
be used as a front or rear center channel speaker. Of course, if you have
a need for a horizontal Mythos for left and right main channel use or
surround use, the Mythos Seven is perfect for that also.
As a center channel, the Mythos Seven can be positioned either above
or below the TV. Of course, it can be mounted on the wall, placed on a
shelf, or on top of the TV itself if the top of the TV is big enough and flat
enough to provide a safe mounting surface.
Your Mythos loudspeakers should sound good right out of the box;
however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of normal
playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows
the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open
“blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Mythos Seven Vertical Angle Adjustment
Your Mythos Seven has a simple built-in device which stabilizes it and
allows you to adjust the vertical angle when the system is placed on a flat
horizontal surface. If the foot is not screwed in, screw it into the threaded
hole on the bottom of the speaker. When you set the speaker down, the
speaker will lean back and rest on the foot. By varying how far you screw
in the foot, you can adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. We suggest
that you aim the speaker so that it points directly towards the height of the
listeners’ ears.
