Youwould then set the woofer’s low-pass crossover. We would suggeststarting around 80 Hz and then experiment up or down from there.You also have the option with Definitive subwoofers of using thesubwoofer’s built-in speaker level high-pass crossover as describedin the subwoofer instruction manuals. In this case, also start with thesubwoofer low-pass crossover at about 80 Hz and experiment.Mythos loudspeakers make excellent rear or side surround speakers.In order to use the Mythos speakers as rear or side surround speakers,simply hook them up as normal to the rear or side channel amplifieroutputs of your system. Set the bass management system of your decoderto “Small” rear and/or side surrounds if your system is using a separatesubwoofer, or “Large” rear or side surrounds if your system is not usinga separate subwoofer.Use of Mythos One as Rear or SideSurround Speakers“Spiking” Your LoudspeakersAn optional “spiking” kit has been provided should you desire to“spike” your loudspeakers. “Spiking” your loudspeakers will providemuch greater stability when placing your loudspeakers on carpeting. Itwill also, according to many experts, result in an overall improvement insonic performance. Care should be taken when using spikes as they maycause damage to wooden or other floors which are susceptible to beingscratched. Definitive Technology is specifically not responsible for dam-age which may result from the use of spikes.The spike kit contains five spikes. To install, unscrew the non-markingtips from the centers of the five leveling feet and screw the five spikes intheir places. Then, with the help of another person, lift the speakerupright and lower it to its exact desired position on the floor. You mustlower the speaker to the exact position you want because once the spikesare in place you cannot move the speakers sideways on the rug or floor –this may damage the floor or the speakers. Next, adjust the spikes so thespeaker sits solidly on all four spikes (and does not rock).Positioning Your Mythos Speakers in Your RoomYour new Mythos speakers are very flexible in terms of positioningand placement options and they will produce excellent sound in almostany location. Following a few simple guidelines can, however, optimizetheir performance for the more critical listener. Please remember thatalthough the following recommendations are usually valid, all rooms andlistening sets-ups are somewhat unique, so do not be afraid to experimentwith the speakers. Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.
