To prevent accidental damage to the subwoofers built into your Mythos STSs from overdriving the system, the subwoofers feature an internal overload protection circuit, which will turn the subwoofers off or down when overdriven or overheated and will then resume normal operation after a few minutes.

Setting Low-Frequency Level When Using Separate LFE Input

If your Mythos STS built-in subwoofers are connected with the LFE input, first set the bass volume level on your Mythos STSs to sound balanced when listening to music in stereo. Then use your receiver or processor’s Speaker Level (or Channel Balance) menu to set the subwoofer level to at least equal volume with the other speakers in the system. If you want more bass output on movies, you are better off raising the .1 channel subwoofer level in the Speaker Level menu than turning up the subwoofer volume control on the speakers.

Speaker Pre-Conditioning (Break-in)

Your Mythos STSs should sound good right out of the box; however, an

extended pre-conditioning (break-in) period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing is required to reach full performance capability. Pre-conditioning allows the driver suspensions to loosen and results in fuller bass, clearer more open midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Using your Mythos STS with an

Additional Subwoofer

Although the built-in subwoofers in your Mythos STSs deliver superb low frequency response and are all that are required for amazing performance, some listeners with large rooms may want to add an additional powered subwoofer to their system. If you choose to do so, we strongly suggest using a Definitive SuperCube subwoofer in order to achieve the highest level of sound quality possible. In this case connect the Mythos STS with the speaker wire only method and connect the LFE output to the separate subwoofer. Your receiver or processor’s Speaker Set Up bass management system should be set to Front Speakers = “Large” and Subwoofer = “Yes.”

Complete Home Theater Systems

We strongly suggest that you use matching Definitive center channel and rear/surround speakers to complete your Definitive home theater system. Please note that you can use Definitive Mythos STS SuperTowers as rear or side surround speakers with excellent results for both music and movies.

Featuring an integrated powered subwoofer, the Mythos STS redefines the expectations of what a floorstanding speaker can deliver.

At the heart of the Mythos STS is its innovative speaker design, which encapsulates Definitive Technology's commitment to high-performance audio.
