VERY IMPORTANT: SETTING CHANNEL BALANCE AND BASS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic systems and decoders have a critical channel balancing procedure for the left and right front speakers, center channel, rears and subwoofer (if it is hooked up through the LFE or Sub Out low level connection) which must be followed if the system is to perform properly. We have spoken with many system users with problems relating to the overall

sound of their system which could be clearly traced back to improper system balance.

Also note that Dolby Digital decoders have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to unit. This bass management system must also be properly adjusted. If your Mythos loudspeaker is hooked up with speaker level wires and you are using a separate subwoofer, your receiver or decoder’s bass management system should be set for “Small” left and right main speakers, “Small” center, “Small” surrounds, and “Yes” subwoofer. If you are using rear surround speakers with very extended low frequency response, set the rear channels of your decoder’s bass management system to “Large.” If not, set them to “Small”. If you are using the Mythos speaker as a rear or side surround speaker, set the rear or side surround bass management to “Small”. If you are using Mythos loudspeakers without a sepa- rate subwoofer, set bass management to “Large” left and right main speakers, “Large” center, “Large” surrounds, and “No” subwoofer. (Also, do not be afraid to experiment.) Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.

Six, Seven specifications

Definitive Technology is renowned for producing high-quality audio equipment that blends innovative technology with exceptional sound performance. Among their notable offerings are the Definitive Technology Seven and Six speakers, which stand out due to their remarkable features and advanced engineering.

The Definitive Technology Seven, recognized for its impressive soundstage and deep bass response, is designed to cater to audiophiles and casual listeners alike. One of the key features of the Seven is its use of the Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology. This technology enables the speaker to deliver a more expansive sound field, ensuring that music and sound effects are heard uniformly throughout the room.

Equipped with a 1-inch aluminum tweeter and a 6.5-inch mid/bass driver, the Seven provides clarity and precision in high-frequency sounds while maintaining rich and full-bodied midrange and bass. The speaker’s advanced frequency response allows for smooth transitions across the audio spectrum, enhancing the listening experience, whether it be for music, movies, or gaming.

On the other hand, the Definitive Technology Six offers a slightly more compact design while retaining much of the high-fidelity performance that the brand is known for. The Six features a similar BDSS technology and includes a 1-inch aluminum tweeter paired with a 5.25-inch midrange driver. This combination allows the Six to deliver crystal-clear highs and responsive bass, making it a perfect choice for smaller spaces or as part of a surround sound system.

Both models are designed with aesthetics in mind, featuring sleek, modern lines that easily blend with any décor while their sturdy enclosure minimizes vibrations, thereby enhancing sound quality. Additionally, the speakers come equipped with a front-firing bass port, which allows for greater flexibility in placement, reducing the need for significant distance from walls or corners.

Further elevating their appeal, the Seven and Six are designed with versatility in mind. They can function as standalone speakers or as part of a larger home theater setup, making them a popular choice for those seeking to build an immersive audio experience.

In summary, the Definitive Technology Seven and Six speakers combine advanced technologies with outstanding audio performance, making them excellent choices for all audio enthusiasts looking for reliable and exceptional sound systems. Whether it's the spacious soundstage of the Seven or the compact yet powerful design of the Six, these speakers provide a remarkable listening experience that caters to a wide range of user needs.
