With Non-Dolby Digital Systems

Using Your Mythos Loudspeakers with a Separate Subwoofer

If you use a subwoofer, we strongly suggest using a Deﬁnitive PowerField SuperCube, PowerField or ProSub in order to achieve the highest level of sound quality possible.

With Dolby Digital Receivers and Decoders

Most systems using the Mythos loudspeakers with a subwoofer will be Dolby Digital Systems. Simply hook the Mythos speakers up to the left and right front (main) channels (assuming you are using them as front speakers) and hook the Mythos Seven to the center channel (assuming you are using it as a center channel). Using a low-level RCA cable, hook the subwoofer up to the LFE output on your receiver or processor. If you are using a Deﬁnitive subwoofer, input this LFE cable into the LFE input on the sub. Then set the bass management system on the receiver or decoder to “Small” left and right main speak- ers, “Small” center, and “Yes” subwoofer. If your receiver/decoder has a choice of crossover frequencies, set the crossover to 80 Hz. The cir- cuitry inside the receiver or decoder will perform the necessary crossover functions.

With non-Dolby Digital systems, there are many options for using your Mythos loudspeakers with a subwoofer. The speciﬁc hook-up will depend on the speciﬁc subwoofer you are using. With Deﬁnitive subwoofers, you can run the Mythos loudspeakers full range (i.e. hook them up normally to the ampliﬁer receiver) and connect the subwoofer to the sub-out with a low-level RCA cable. With Deﬁnitive sub- woofers this would input into the left or right channel input. You would then set the woofer’s low-pass crossover: we would suggest starting around 80 Hz and then experiment up or down from there.

You also have the option with Deﬁnitive subwoofers of using the subwoofer’s built-in speaker level high-pass crossover as described in the subwoofer instruction manuals. In this case, also start with the subwoofer low-pass crossover at about 80 Hz and experiment.
