Setting Bass and Treble Controls on

Your Receiver or Amplifier

Normally we recommend that you set the “Bass” and “Treble” controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer’s “Level” control on your Mythos STS, keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers when, in fact the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in doubt, leave them flat; this almost always sounds the best.

Audible distortion when the speakers are playing at loud levels is caused by driving (turning up) your receiver or amplifier louder than it or the speakers are capable of playing. Most receivers and amplifiers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up, so the position of the volume control is a poor indicator its power limit. If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn the volume down!
