Definitive Technology Mythos SoloXL Bedienungsanleitung

Congratulations!

You are about to have a unique audio experience: the Mythos Solo XL “All-In-One”

Front Stage Loudspeaker. Never before has style and function combined on this

level to deliver the ultimate sound quality in the coolest looking speaker you could

ever match to your ﬂat screen television. This state-of-the-art loudspeaker features:

• High Deﬁnition Drivers and Pure Aluminum Dome Tweeters on

unique canted bafﬂes in completely separate enclosure segments,

for more realistic imaging and superb front stage performance

from a single, thin wall-mounted speaker.

• The groundbreaking Mythos look: hand-polished, aircraft grade

aluminum enclosure: non-resonant and internally braced for

lifelike sound quality.

• Heavy duty, easy to install Wall Mounting Brackets.

• Magnetic Shielding for safe placement near video monitors and TVs.

• Voice matched with the complete Mythos Series. Use Mythos Solo XL

as the main front stage speaker in a system built with any other Mythos

speakers used as rear surround elements (or use it with any brand of

loudspeakers for that matter!).

• Combine Mythos Loudspeakers with Deﬁnitive TechnologySuperCube

Subwoofers to build super high performance Mythos sound systems

for music or movies.

To ensure that you only experience the ﬁnest performance possible from your new speakers,

we encourage you to take a moment (or a few) to read through this manual and familiarize

yourself with the recommended hookup methods for these Mythos Loudspeakers.

“All-In-One” Front Stage Loudspeaker

Owner's Manual

Mythos

™Solo XL

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.

• 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.

Unpacking Your Mythos Loudspeakers

Installation, Setup and Placement Tips

• Mythos Loudspeakers are engineered to excel when used with

Deﬁnitive Technology SuperCube Subwoofers. SuperCubes deliver

radical bass in compact stylish enclosures. Using a SuperCube will

give you complete signal control and will result in greater dynamic

range in stereo and home theater applications. See your authorized

Deﬁnitive Technology Dealer to hear a SuperCube for yourself.

• Before performing any wire hookups, be sure to turn your electronics OFF.

•Multichannel (Dolby Digital & DTS) receivers and processors have a

critical Channel Balancing Procedure for each speaker and the

subwoofer (connected via LFE or “Sub Out” low-level). This balancing

procedure must be followed in order to ensure proper performance from

your speakers. See your receiver/processor user’s manual for this information.

•Multichannel (Dolby Digital & DTS) receivers and processors also have

Bass Management Procedures that help direct the correct frequencies to

the correct speakers. Bass Management can vary from unit to unit.

This frequency-setting procedure must be followed in order to ensure

proper performance from your system. See your receiver/processor user’s

manual for this information.

Channel Balance & Bass Management

When making Speaker Wire connections, use high quality, large gauge

speaker wire to ensure the best performance. Note that one of the input

terminals on the rear of your loudspeakers is red (+) and the other is black (-).

To ensure correct polarity, make certain that you connect wire from the red (+)

terminal of your receiver to the red (+) terminal of your loudspeakers, and the

wire from the black (-) terminal of your receiver to the black (-) terminal of

your loudspeakers. Most speaker wire has indicator markings on one

conductor to help you maintain consistency. If your sound seems “thin,”

check your connections for correct polarity.

The Mythos Solo XL features three sets of speaker terminals, one per channel

(left, center, right). Connect each to the appropriate output from your receiver.

Speaker Wire Connections

• We recommend that wall mounting of speakers be performed by

professional installers or by those appropriately skilled in the use of power

tools and the knowledge of building codes and structural issues.

• We recommend that you determine a suitable location for your speaker

installation, and that you complete all wiring (especially “hidden” in-wall

wiring) before mounting brackets to your walls.

• Mythos Brackets are not suitable for ceiling mounting.

Preinstallation Notes

The Mythos Solo XL Loudspeaker comes with dual custom designed wall

mounting brackets and a wall template that makes secure mounting a breeze.

The rear panel of the speaker features threaded inserts for the adjustable

Mounting Screws (included). These Mounting Screws then ﬁt easily into the

Keyhole Slots on the Wall Mounting Brackets, also included. Follow these

directions for installing the Wall Mounting Brackets.

• Use the Mounting Template (included) to make sure the location you have

selected for wall-mounting does not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.

Make sure the speaker clears the ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams,

lighting ﬁxtures and door/window frames. Leave at least 1-1/2"

" above the

speaker location to allow the speaker to slide down onto its brackets.

• Mark the location of pilot holes noted on the Mounting Template, and pre-

drill for mounting screws (not included). Use screws rated to hold securely in

the wall material (we recommend #10 screws).

•If there is no stud behind the chosen location, be certain to use wall anchors

(not included) to secure the bracket screws. Follow the wall anchor

manufacturer’s directions.

• For masonry walls, use a masonry drill bit to pre-drill holes, and use #10

masonry anchors and screws (not included).

• When the Wall Mounting Brackets are securely screwed to the wall and you

have pulled the three runs of wire (Left, Center and Right) through the

Brackets as shown, insert the Mounting Screws into the rear panel of the

speaker by removing the plastic plugs on the Mounting Screw Holes.

• Line up the speaker’s protruding Mounting Screws with the keyhole slots on

the Wall Mounting Brackets, and let the speaker slide straight down,

allowing the screw heads to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slots

for a secure mount.
