Connecting Your Loudspeakers - Definitive Technology Mythos Mythos STS Owner's Manual

Positioning Mythos STS as Rear/Side Surrounds
When used as rear or side surround speakers, Mythos STSs may be located on
the side or behind the listeners. When used on the sides, take care never to locate
the speakers forward of the listeners (figure A). When the side/rear speakers are
close to the listening position, do not aim the speakers at the listeners. If positioned
several feet behind the listener, experiment with speaker aiming (figure B).

Connecting Mythos STS to a Two-Channel System
Your Mythos STSs have a set of speaker level (high level) 5-way binding posts
plus an LFE input. If you are using your Mythos STS in a two channel system you
only need connect to the high-level binding posts. To start, strip
of insulation from each of the two conductors of the speaker wire to expose the bare
metal and twist each of the individual conductors into single unfrayed strands. Note
that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker 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.
