channel
interconnects)
requires
the
use
of
an
LFE
connection
between
your
receiver
or
processor
and
your
Mythos
ST.
If
you
are
using
one
of
these
players,
please
use
the
connection
method
outlined
in
the
"Using
the
LFE
Input"
section.
Usually
ifdistortion
is
heard
when
the speakers are being driven
atloud
levels,
it
is
caused
by
driving (turning
up)
the amplifier
too
loud
and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle.
Remember,
most
amplifiers put out their full-rated power
well
before the
volume
control
is
turned all the
way
up!
If
your speakers distort
when
you
play them loud, turn
down
the amplifier or get a bigger
one.
Setting
Bass
and Treble Controls on
Your Receiver
or
Amplifier
.
Normally
we
recommend
that
you
set
the
"Bass"
and
"Treble" controls
on
flat
or 0
dB.
This
will
give
you
the
most
linear
and
natural
sound.
If
you
want
more
bass,
raise
the
subwoofer's "Level" control
on
your
Mythos
ST,
keeping
in
mind
that
even
a little tum of
the
knob
can
make
a
big
difference
in
the
sound.
Also,
if
your
amplifier
or
receiver
has
a graphic
equalizer,
we
recommend
that
you
leave
it
flat.
The
reason
for
this
is
that
we
have
spoken
with
many
consumers
about
what
they
thought
were
improperly
sounding
speakers
when,
in
fact
the
problem
was
misadjusted
tone
controls.
When
in
doubt,
leave
them
flat;
this
almost
always
sounds
the
best.
Powering Up
the
Active Subwoofer Section
Your
Mythos
STs
contain a built-in,
active
powered
subwoofer section
as
well
as
an
electronic crossover
and
so
each
Mythos
ST
must
be
plugged
into
an
electrical
socket
of
the
appropriate
voltage
(as
indicated
on
the
back
of
your
unit)
using
the
plug
on
the
end
of
the
electrical
cord
which
you
have
attached
to
the
speaker
through
the
hole
at
the
bottom
of
the
base.
The
Mythos
ST
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.
Please
note
that
after
the
cessation of a
signal,
it
may
take
up
to
an
hour
for
the
amplifier
to
actually
tum
off.
In
some
instances,
because
of
RF
presence
in
your
area,
the
LEDs
may
not
tum
off.
However,
this
is
nothing
to
be
concerned
about
as
the
amplifiers
draw
almost
no
power
when
they
are
idling.
To
prevent accidental
damage
to
the
sub
woofers
built into your
Mythos
STs
from
overdriving
the
system,
the
subwoofers
feature
an
internal
overload
protection circuit,
which
will
turn
the
sub
woofers
oft or
down
when
overdriven or overheated and
will
then
resume
normal operation after a
few
minutes.
