Mythos ST-L, Owner'S Manual

5.1 hoMe TheaTer configUraTion
four mythos St-L Super towers will make an astounding 5.1 home theater.
When used as left and right surrounds, do not locate the speakers forward of
your listening position. If you use the towers as left and right rear surrounds,
position them wide apart if possible. (for instance, if there is a couch in the
center of the rear wall, position the speakers wider apart than the couch). If a
full mythos St-L Home theater loudspeaker setup isn’t in the budget right now,
Definitive technology also offers a complete line of center channel and surround
loudspeakers, any of which will blend with your mythos St-L front stage. We
specifically recommend the mythos ten for the best-match center channel speaker.
Note
: Each loudspeakers Identity Switch should be set to “Left” or “Right” depending
on which side of the room the speaker is located.

Ideally, the speakers should be placed at one to two feet from room boundaries,
such as large pieces of furniture, walls and especially corners. placing a speaker
closer to room boundaries increases bass, but may result in a “boomy” or
bass-heavy sound and degradation of stereo imaging. try varying the speakers’
distance from the rear walls, side walls, and corners until the best balance
between low frequency extension and clarity is achieved. If you cannot get the
speakers at least one foot from the room boundary, treat the adjacent room
boundaries with absorbing or diffusing material to improve performance.
