Unpacking Your Mythos Loudspeakers

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or con- cealed damage is most likely to occur in handling and should be reported at once to your Definitive Technology Dealer or to the delivery company that delivered your loudspeakers. Save all cartons and packing material when you have unpacked your loudspeakers. They will do the best job of protecting your speakers if they need to be shipped or transported. Record the serial numbers found on the rear panels of your speakers in the appropriate place on your Warranty Cards and mail your Warranty Cards within 10 days of purchase.

Installation, Setup and Placement Tips

Your speakers will work well with a variety of electronic components. As little as 20 watts (RMS) per channel will deliver adequate listening levels in most rooms. If you plan to play your system at loud listening levels, you’ll be better served by more power.

Damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can cleanly produce (usually beyond the “1 to 2 o’clock” position on the volume control). This can result in distortion, originating in the amplifier. If you hear distortion, turn it down!

Break-in is very important with any high-end loudspeaker, including Definitive Technology speakers. While they sound great right out of the box, the sound quality of the speaker will change noticeably after the speaker has been played for a length of time (about 20 hours). There’s no special procedure, just play ‘em. Loud dynamic music with lots of highs and lots of bass will work its magic faster.
