Definitive Technology Seven, Six manual

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. Also, if your ampliﬁer or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recom- mend 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.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven

at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the ampliﬁer too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most ampliﬁers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the ampliﬁer or get a bigger one.

Mounting Your Mythos Six with the Supplied Wall-Mount Bracket

Your Mythos Six comes with an optional wall-bracket designed to

securely mount your speaker ﬂush to your wall. The bracket can ONLY be used with a vertical installation. (For horizontal installations, the Mythos Seven speaker should be used instead.) For safety, it is extremely important that this bracket be installed with molly-bolts or similarly effective fasteners appropriate for the construction of your wall. Be sure to use all six of the mounting holes when fastening the bracket to the wall. Never use unanchored or improperly anchored screws in your wall. Professional installation is strongly recommended. Your dealer can either arrange this for you, or refer you to a qualiﬁed installer.

To determine the bracket’s position on the wall, the following measure- ments will be helpful. When the Mythos Six is installed on the bracket, the top edge of the speaker is 15/8 inches (41 mm) from the top edge of the bracket, the bottom edge of the speaker is 7 inches (177 mm) from the bottom of the bracket, and the outer edges of the speaker are 13/8 inches (35 mm) from the sides of the bracket. If you are mounting your Mythos Six close to anything above it, please allow an extra 11/2 inches (38 mm) for the speaker to slide onto its bracket.

If your speaker wires are to be hidden inside the wall, be sure to conform to your local building codes. When installed on the bracket,
