some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. It is essential to connect both speakers to the amplifier in the same way (in phase). If you experience a lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other and needs to be rewired paying closer attention to connect positive to positive; negative to negative on both channels.
To connect wire to the binding post [see figure above], unscrew the hex nut and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection. Twist the hex nut back down the binding post until it firmly meets the wire. Do not over tighten.
Connecting Mythos STS to a Multi-Channel
Home Theater System
Your Mythos STSs have a set of speaker level (high level) 5-way binding post speaker inputs to feed in the left and right channel signals plus an LFE input to separately feed the discrete “Low Frequency Effects” channel into each subwoofer. Unlike a conventional system, where the subwoofer is driven only by an LFE subwoofer signal, the Mythos STSs are much more sophisticated and can play by the left and right channel bass signal as well as the LFE signal. For optimum performance, please fully read and closely follow the directions in this manual.
To start, strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the speaker wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the individual conductors into single unfrayed strands. Connect the left front channel red (+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red marked (+) terminal of your left loudspeaker and the left front channel black marked (-) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black (-) terminal of your left loudspeaker. Connect the right channel main/front channel red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red
(+)terminal of your right loudspeaker and the black (-) terminal of the right main/front channel of your receiver or amplifier to the black (-) terminal of your right loudspeaker. Most speaker wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. It is essential to connect both speakers to the amplifier in the same way (in phase). If you experience a lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other and needs to be rewired paying closer attention to connect positive to positive; negative to negative on both channels.
