5.1 HOME THEATER CONFIGURATIONFour Mythos ST-L Super Towers will make an astounding 5.1 home theater.When used as left and right surrounds, do not locate the speakers forward ofyour listening position. If you use the towers as left and right rear surrounds,position them wide apart if possible. (For instance, if there is a couch in thecenter of the rear wall, position the speakers wider apart than the couch). If afull Mythos ST-L Home Theater loudspeaker setup isn’t in the budget right now,Definitive Technology also offers a complete line of center channel and surroundloudspeakers, any of which will blend with your Mythos ST-L front stage. Wespecifically recommend the Mythos Ten for the best-match center channel speaker.Note: Each loudspeakers Identity Switch should be set to “Left” or “Right” dependingon which side of the room the speaker is located.ROOM ACOUSTICSIdeally, the speakers should be placed at one to two feet from room boundaries,such as large pieces of furniture, walls and especially corners. Placing a speakercloser to room boundaries increases bass, but may result in a “boomy” orbass-heavy sound and degradation of stereo imaging. Try varying the speakers’distance from the rear walls, side walls, and corners until the best balancebetween low frequency extension and clarity is achieved. If you cannot get thespeakers at least one foot from the room boundary, treat the adjacent roomboundaries with absorbing or diffusing material to improve performance.8Definitive Technology 11433 Cronridge Dr. Owings Mills, MD 21117ENLEFT SPEAKER TV & CENTER SPEAKER RIGHT SPEAKERLEFT REARSURROUND RIGHT REARSURROUND20º 20º5.1 HOME THEATER SETUP
