Owner`s manual
When used as fronts, the speakers should usually be placed 6 to 8 feet apart
and kept away from the side walls and comers. A good rule
of
thumb is to place
the speakers separated by one half the length
of
the wall they are positioned along,
and each speaker one quarter the length
of
the wall behind them away from the
side wall.
Mounting
Your
Mythos
Gem
with
the
Supplied
Wall-Mount
Template
Your Mythos Gem comes with an optional wall-bracket designed to securely
mount your speaker flush to your wall. The bracket can
ONL
Y be used with a
vertical installation. For safety, it is extremely important that this bracket be installed
with molly-bolts or similarly effective fasteners appropriate for the construction
of
your wall. Be sure to use all four
of
the mounting holes when fastening the bracket
to the wall. Never use unanchored
or
improperly anchored screws in your wall.
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Your dealer can either arrange
this for you, or refer you to a qualified installer.
To determine the bracket's position on the wall, use the mounting template which
comes with your speakers.
If
you are mounting your Mythos Gem close to anything
above it, please allow an extra 1 1/4 inches above the top
of
the speaker for the
speaker to slide onto its bracket.
If
your speaker wires are to be hidden inside the wall, be sure to conform to your
local building codes. When installed on the bracket, the center
of
the Mythos Gem
speaker terminals will be as indicated on the template.
To install the Mythos Gem on'its bracket, securely fasten the mounting screw
supplied into the threaded hole on the rear
of
the speaker, screwing it in as far as it
will go. The speaker will then hang in the "keyhole" on the bracket. After placing the
screw in this opening, pressing down firmly on the top
of
the speaker will seat
the speaker properly and avoid any rattles during use.
In
addition, the Mythos Gem has a threaded insert on the back which may be
used with a wall-mount pivoting bracket such as the Definitive ProMount 80.
