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,

The Definitive Technology Seven, recognized for its impressive soundstage and deep bass response, is designed to cater to audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

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.
