Positioning Mythos Six as Rear/Side Surrounds

When used as rear or side surround speakers, Mythos Six may be located on the side or behind the listeners. When used on the sides, take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. The speakers may be placed at or above ear level. If the speakers are placed on the rear wall, it is suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart if possible. (For instance, if there is a couch in the center of the rear wall on which the listeners will sit, try to position the speakers wider apart than the couch.)

Positioning Mythos Seven as a Center Channel

The Mythos Seven is designed for horizontal use and will normally be used as a front or rear center channel speaker. Of course, if you have a need for a horizontal Mythos for left and right main channel use or surround use, the Mythos Seven is perfect for that also.

As a center channel, the Mythos Seven can be positioned either above or below the TV. Of course, it can be mounted on the wall, placed on a shelf, or on top of the TV itself if the top of the TV is big enough and flat enough to provide a safe mounting surface.

Mythos Seven Vertical Angle Adjustment

Your Mythos Seven has a simple built-in device which stabilizes it and allows you to adjust the vertical angle when the system is placed on a flat horizontal surface. If the foot is not screwed in, screw it into the threaded hole on the bottom of the speaker. When you set the speaker down, the speaker will lean back and rest on the foot. By varying how far you screw in the foot, you can adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. We suggest that you aim the speaker so that it points directly towards the height of the listeners’ ears.

Speaker Break-In

Your Mythos loudspeakers should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of normal playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

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.
