If you use a subwoofer, we strongly suggest using a Definitive
PowerField SuperCube, PowerField or ProSub in order to achieve
the highest level of sound quality possible.
With Dolby Digital Receivers and Decoders
Most systems using the Mythos loudspeakers with a subwoofer will
be Dolby Digital Systems. Simply hook the Mythos speakers up to the
left and right front (main) channels (assuming you are using them as
front speakers) and hook the Mythos Seven to the center channel
(assuming you are using it as a center channel). Using a low-level
RCA cable, hook the subwoofer up to the LFE output on your receiver
or processor. If you are using a Definitive subwoofer, input this LFE
cable into the LFE input on the sub. Then set the bass management
system on the receiver or decoder to “Small
” left and right main speak-
ers, “Small
” center, and “Yes” subwoofer. If your receiver/decoder has
a choice of crossover frequencies, set the crossover to 80 Hz. The cir-
cuitry inside the receiver or decoder will perform the necessary
crossover functions.
With Non-Dolby Digital Systems
With non-Dolby Digital systems, there are many options for using
your Mythos loudspeakers with a subwoofer. The specific hook-up
will depend on the specific subwoofer you are using. With Definitive
subwoofers, you can run the Mythos loudspeakers full range (i.e. hook
them up normally to the amplifier receiver) and connect the subwoofer
to the sub-out with a low-level RCA cable. With Definitive sub-
woofers this would input into the left or right channel input. You
would then set the woofer’s low-pass crossover: we would suggest
starting around 80 Hz and then experiment up or down from there.
You also have the option with Definitive subwoofers of using the
subwoofer’s built-in speaker level high-pass crossover as described in
the subwoofer instruction manuals. In this case, also start with the
subwoofer low-pass crossover at about 80 Hz and experiment.
Using Your Mythos Loudspeakers with
a Separate Subwoofer
Mythos loudspeakers make excellent rear or side surround speakers.
In order to use the Mythos speakers as rear or side surround speakers,
