7some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the twoconductors to help you maintain consistency. It is essential to connect bothspeakers to the amplifier in the same way (in phase). If you experience a lackof bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other and needs to berewired paying closer attention to connect positive to positive; negative to negativeon both channels.To connect wire to the binding post [see figure above], unscrew the hex nutand insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do notinsert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a goodconnection. Twist the hex nut back down the binding post until it firmly meetsthe wire. Do not over tighten.Connecting Mythos STS to a Multi-ChannelHome Theater SystemYour Mythos STSs have a set of speaker level (high level) 5-way binding postspeaker inputs to feed in the left and right channel signals plus an LFE input toseparately feed the discrete “Low Frequency Effects” channel into each subwoofer.Unlike a conventional system, where the subwoofer is driven only by an LFEsubwoofer signal, the Mythos STSs are much more sophisticated and can playby the left and right channel bass signal as well as the LFE signal. For optimumperformance, please fully read and closely follow the directions in this manual.To start, strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductorsof the speaker wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the individualconductors into single unfrayed strands. Connect the left front channel red (+)terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red marked (+) terminal of your leftloudspeaker and the left front channel black marked (-) terminal of your receiver oramplifier to the black (-) terminal of your left loudspeaker. Connect the rightchannel main/front channel red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your right loudspeaker and the black (-) terminal of the rightmain/front channel of your receiver or amplifier to the black (-) terminal of yourright loudspeaker. Most speaker wire has some indicator (such as color-coding,ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. Itis essential to connect both speakers to the amplifier in the same way (in phase). Ifyou experience a lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with theother and needs to be rewired paying closer attention to connect positive to positive;negative to negative on both channels.
