Legendary Mythos® Performance for Large Flat Panel TVs

Definitive Technology has done it again! The Mythos Ten is the newest member of the critically acclaimed Mythos line of high performance loudspeakers. Mythos Ten is perfectly proportioned to match 55" and larger flat panel video displays and is the perfect center channel complement to the astounding Mythos ST SuperTowers® for a truly state-of-the-art home theater system. Through the use of advanced driver and enclosure technologies used in the top-of-the-line award-winning Mythos ST, the Mythos Ten achieves a level of performance never before available in on-wall loudspeakers.

Each Mythos® Ten contains two high-definition Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) 51/4" drivers (patent pending) that are pressure-coupled to two 5" x 8" racetrack-shaped planar Low-Bass Radiators for a total bass radiating surface greater than that of a 12" conventional woofer. The result is bass extension and power unheard of in a slim on-wall loudspeaker. The bass roll-off of the

Mythos Ten is smooth and controlled, allowing it to seamlessly blend with a powered subwoofer, such as Definitive’s SuperCubes, for audiophile-grade home theater power and precision.

The two active 51/4" drivers surround a new generation Pure Aluminum dome tweeter, the same used in Definitive’s Mythos® ST SuperTowers®. This remarkable new tweeter incorporates a new voice coil, new dome, new surround, and an acoustically con- toured faceplate for unequaled high frequency extension, detail, and smoothness.

Mythos Series enclosures are hand-polished gloss Black or Silver aircraft-grade extruded aluminum with proprietary damping technologies

that ensure total rigidity. All components are mounted on a resonance-free PolyStone baffle. These rock-solid construction technologies along with state-of-the-art drivers and tweeter serve to deliver classic Definitive Technology sound quality: wide soundstage, pinpoint imaging, high dynamic impact, and superb realism.

AW6500, AW5500 specifications

Definitive Technology has forged a reputation for producing high-quality audio equipment, and their outdoor speakers, the AW6500 and AW5500, exemplify this tradition of excellence. Designed for those who want to enjoy crystal-clear sound in their outdoor environments, these speakers provide a perfect blend of durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal.

The AW6500 is a robust, all-weather speaker featuring a 6.5-inch bass driver coupled with a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. Known for its rich bass response and dynamic mid-range, the AW6500 is capable of delivering high-fidelity sound even amidst the distractions of the great outdoors. The speaker is equipped with Definitive Technology's proprietary technologies, such as BDSS (Balanced Double Surround System) technology, which enhances sound dispersion and provides a more immersive listening experience. With a frequency response ranging from 38 Hz to 30 kHz, the AW6500 captures the nuances of every musical detail while promising deep, punchy bass.

In contrast, the AW5500 offers a slightly smaller form factor, featuring a 5.25-inch bass driver and a 1-inch tweeter, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more compact yet powerful outdoor audio solution. Like its larger counterpart, the AW5500 utilizes BDSS technology to ensure a wide soundstage and remarkable performance. The frequency response spans from 40 Hz to 30 kHz, allowing listeners to enjoy clear highs and balanced lows, proving that size does not always dictate performance.

Both models are engineered from marine-grade materials, ensuring that they withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and UV exposure. Their rugged enclosures and powder-coated grilles contribute to their durability, making them suitable for installation in gardens, patios, or pool areas. The speaker designs are both stylish and discreet, allowing them to blend seamlessly into any outdoor setting.

Installation is simplified with the included mounting brackets, allowing users to optimize their setups without hassle. The versatility of both the AW6500 and AW5500 makes them an excellent choice for a variety of outdoor scenarios, whether for entertaining guests or simply enjoying music on a quiet evening.
