Definitive Technology Mythos Nine Mythos Nine Manual - Page 4

Note that one of the terminals is marked with red band (+) and the other is marked with black band (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red (+) terminal on your speaker and the wire from the black (-) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. 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 or poor surround effect, it is likely that one or more of the channels is connected in incorrect polarity and needs to be rewired, paying closer attention to connect positive to positive; negative to negative on all channels.

To connect wire to the binding post [see figure above], unscrew the knurled 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. Connect a single RCA cable from the "SUB OUT" of your receiver to the LFE input of the subwoofer (not included). This connecting method bypasses the subwoofer's internal "crossover" or low pass filter and relies on the crossover filter built into your receiver. Receiver/Speaker Set-up Access Your Receiver's "Speaker Set-up" or "Speaker Configuration" Menu 1. In the Speaker Set-up/Configure function of your receiver, set all channels that are connected to Mythos Nines to "Small." 2. Select "Yes" when asked if you are using a subwoofer. 3. Set the subwoofer crossover frequency on the receiver to 100 Hz.
