Definitive Technology STS Speaker User Manual


 
State of the Art Definitive Technology
Each Mythos STS contains a D’Appolito array consisting of two high-definition

" drivers surrounding a 1" dome tweeter housed in an acoustically isolated
sealed enclosure. The drivers feature Definitive’s patent-pending Balanced Dual
Surround System (BDSS) technology that supports the speaker cone at both the
inner and outer edges for longer, more linear excursion, greater clarity and finely
textured inner detail. The tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been
heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to
produce extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of
edginess. The slim, curved shape of the enclosure reduces diffraction contribut-
ing to the STS’s remarkable imaging that is truly startling in its ability to float
utterly lifelike highly defined sonic images across a broad and deep soundstage.
The subwoofer is built around a 5" x 10" racetrack-shaped polymer/carbon
composite cone driver powered by a built-in 300-Watt digital amplifier and
pressure-coupled to two 5" x 10" racetrack-shaped planar low-bass radiators for a
total bass radiating area greater than a 12" woofer. A pair of STSs is like having
two 12", 300-Watt powered subwoofers in your room without taking up all the
floor space. The result is bass that is deep, powerful and impactful while at the
same time having the kind of tight, controlled and accurate response of the
nest and costliest audiophile speakers.
The Sound Will Amaze You
We could write adjectives all day long in an attempt to describe just how good
the Mythos STS sounds and we would fall far short of capturing the experience.
If you are a true music lover, you need to hear them for yourself to discover just
how lifelike a pair of speakers can sound. You’ll hear depth and nuance to your
music you have never heard before (unless you own a pair of speakers several
times the cost of the STS). You will marvel at the dynamic impact and sheer bass
power when watching movies, amazed that all that power is coming from just
two small towers without a separate subwoofer. Yes, you will be astonished.
