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 1

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 1

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 1

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,

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.
