red (+) terminal of your right surround loudspeaker and the black (-) terminal of

the right surround channel of your receiver or ampliﬁer to the black (-) terminal

of your right surround 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.

Set the receiver’s or processor’s Speaker Set-Up menu as Surround = Large.

Your Mythos STSs contain a built-in, active powered subwoofer section as well

as an electronic crossover and must be plugged into an electrical socket of the

appropriate voltage (as indicated on the back of your unit) using the electrical cord

which you have attached to the bottom of the speaker. The Mythos STS has a

special circuit which automatically turns the powered subwoofer section on when

a signal is fed to the loudspeaker and does not require an on-off switch. Please note

that if you hear a pop from the speaker when the amp powers up, this is normal.

The LED on the back panel will light up when a signal is sensed and the ampliﬁer

turns on. After the cessation of a signal, it may take up to an hour for the ampliﬁer

to actually turn off. In some instances, because of stray radio signals (RF) in your

area, the LEDs may not turn off. However, this is nothing to be concerned about

as the ampliﬁers draw almost no power when they are idling.

Setting Your Speakers’ Low-Frequency Level Control

Your Mythos STSs have bass level controls which allow you to tune the output

level of the powered subwoofers to match your room and personal listening

preferences. Please note that there are no controls to vary the crossover points

or phase because these have been factory calibrated and set to provide perfect

blending (a major performance beneﬁt of this innovative product). We suggest

beginning with the level control set at approximately 1 o’clock.

Normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same as the level

control of the right speaker. However, these controls can also be set differently on

the two speakers in order to allow you to vary the response of left and right speakers

to compensate asymmetrical positioning of the speakers in your room (i.e., when

one is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.). This is a useful feature which allows you

much greater ﬂexibility in loudspeaker placement, as well as the ability to

compensate for what could otherwise be difﬁcult placement situations.
