Attaching the Logo Badge
Mythos XTR-50 can be mounted either vertically as main or surround
speakers or horizontally for use as a center channel speaker. The logo
badge is not pre-attached to the
grille and is packaged in a plastic
bag along with the other Figure 11
accessories. It should be affixed
in the correct place on the grille
once you have determined the
speaker's alignment. For horizontal
(center channel) use, align the badge
with the location on the long side of the
grille; for vertical use, align the badge with the
location on the short side of the grille. [Figure 11] To affix
the logo badge, gently press the logo badge into the recess
on the grill. A magnet will hold the logo in place. Do not press
the badge too hard or you may crack the grille.
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 XTR-50s to "Small."
2. Select "Yes" when asked if you are using a subwoofer.
3. Set the subwoofer crossover
frequency on the receiver to
120 Hz if the speaker is mounted
on a wall and 150 Hz if the
speakers are sitting on a shelf.

Unpacking Your Mythos XTR-50 Speakers
Please Inspect For Shipping Damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed
damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and should be reported
at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your loud-
speaker. Please unpack your speaker carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in
case you move or need to ship your speaker. Record the serial number found on the
back of the Mythos XTR-50 on this manual.
VERY IMPORTANT: Accessories
Various parts and accessories that you will need to use your Mythos XTR-50 are in
the carton but are easy to overlook. Open both ends of the shipping carton. Carefully
examine the contents of the shipping carton and packing material to find the plastic
bags with accessories.
